Constipation isn’t just a gut issue… it’s a pelvic floor issue too 👀

When you’re constipated, you’re more likely to strain 🚽�
That constant pushing puts extra pressure on your pelvic floor muscles, which can lead to:�
• Weakness or poor coordination�• Increased risk of prolapse�• Bladder leakage�• That “never fully empty” feeling

Over time, your body can actually forget how to relax and let go properly 🤯

✨ The fix starts with your habits, especially fiber ✨�
Here are easy ways to support smoother, stress-free bowel movements:
• Add 1–2 tbsp chia seeds to muffins, oatmeal, or yogurt�• Swap white carbs for whole grains (think oats, quinoa, brown rice)�• Sneak veggies into meals (zucchini muffins, spinach in smoothies)�• Eat fruit daily (berries, pears, kiwi are 💯 for digestion)�• Hydrate 💧 (fiber without water = worse constipation)

Save this & follow for more pelvic health tips!

🚽 Potty training tip most parents don’t hear: 
Constipation is one of the biggest reasons potty training struggles happen.

As a pelvic floor PT (and mom of two toddlers), I see this in adults all the time — and the same principles apply to kids too.
My oldest is 3.5 and fully potty trained (pull-up only at night), but we went through a phase where constipation made regular bowel movements difficult… which is incredibly common for little ones.

My youngest is almost 2 and has zero interest in potty training yet 🤪 but she already knows when she needs to p**p, which is a great sign of body awareness.

Just like I tell my adult pelvic floor patients: hydration, fiber, movement, and pelvic floor coordination matter.

Here are a few things we do in our house to support healthy bowel habits 👇

✅ Feet flat on the floor or on a stool This helps relax the pelvic floor and makes it easier to p**p.

✅ No “just in case” bathroom trips We avoid forcing it unless we’re about to get in the car for a long time.

✅ Blow bubbles or use a straw Blowing helps relax the pelvic floor and prevents straining.

✅ Food + movement first Before turning to Miralax we try: • fewer packaged snacks • more fruits & veggies • more water + electrolytes • walking after meals

✅ No stress around accidents Pressure can make kids tense their bodies (yes, even their pelvic floor).

✨ Exciting news: By the end of this summer I’ll officially be accepting pediatric pelvic floor patients!
Pediatrics was originally what I wanted to do when I started PT school, so pediatric pelvic health feels like a full circle moment for me 🥹

If your child struggles with: • constipation • stool accidents • potty training difficulties • bedwetting

I’d love to help.

📩 DM me to get on the pediatric waitlist!

If you’re dealing with leaking, pelvic pain, or prolapse… your feet might actually be part of the problem. 👣

Most people think pelvic floor issues only come from pregnancy, core weakness, or hormones. But your feet and pelvic floor are deeply connected.

Every time you walk, your midfoot naturally rolls in and out (pronation and supination). This movement helps your pelvis rotate as you move forward.

When the midfoot moves well → the pelvis rotates normally → the pelvic floor can lengthen and contract the way it’s supposed to.

But when the midfoot is weak or stiff, the pelvis can’t rotate well. That means the pelvic floor is forced to grip, strain, or compensate, which can contribute to:�
• leaking with running or jumping�• pelvic pain�• heaviness or prolapse symptoms

This is why pelvic floor rehab isn’t just about Kegels. We have to look at the whole system, including your feet.

Mamas, runners, and active women — don’t skip foot strength. Your pelvic floor will thank you. 🙌

Girl... it's all connected. Starting with having a strong and mobile base of support at your feet. If your feet can't absorb shock whenever you run, jump, squat, etc., why do you think you feel it more in your knees, hips and pelvis? Not to mention the fascial and neural connections we have from the pelvis down to our toes. The feet matter just as much and should absolutely be a part of your plan of care🦶

Your pelvic floor doesn’t work in isolation, it’s part of a pressure system that includes your diaphragm, deep core, and thoracic spine.

If your mid-back is stiff or weak, you can’t rotate, extend, or breathe well… and that directly impacts how you manage intra-abdominal pressure.

✨ Poor thoracic mobility = altered breathing mechanics ✨ Altered breathing = poor pressure regulation ✨ Poor pressure regulation = more strain on the linea alba, pelvic floor, and surrounding tissues

That’s why with diastasis recti, incontinence, or pelvic pain, we don’t just “do Kegels.” We restore rib mobility, rotation strength, postural endurance, and coordinated breathing.

When the thoracic spine moves well and is strong, the pelvic floor can respond reflexively the way it was designed to.

Mid-back mobility is foundational.

Prenatal preparation sessions are my favoriteeeee ❤️🤰🏼 pelvic floor PT many times is brushed off until postpartum, but the difference just a few prenatal sessions can make are astounding.

1. To help with aches and pains such as p***c symphysis dysfunction (SPD), round ligament pain, tailbone pain, pelvic pressure.
2. To coach you through different labor positions and how to effectively use your breath and body to push baby and reduce your risk of tearing. (Yes, we do practice pushes in office so you know exactly what to do!!!)
3. To educate you on different movements you can do while in labor based off of baby's position to keep things progressing.

If you're looking for additional support during pregnancy, I'd be happy to help you prepare for baby and most importantly set you up for a better postpartum recovery 🤱🏼

Hi there! 👋 So happy you're here! If you're new to my page, welcome. If you're an OG, thanks for supporting me over the years. ❤️

I wanted to do a reintroduction for all the new faces! My name is Dr. Olivia, I am a pelvic floor physical therapist based out of Christiansburg, VA. I work with women of all ages and all stages of life who are dealing with symptoms such as:
➡️ chronic back and hip pain
➡️ pelvic pain
➡️ Vaginismus
➡️ Endometriosis
➡️ urinary incontinence
➡️ Diastasis recti
➡️ bowel dysfunction (IBS, chronic constipation, f***l incontinence)
➡️ prenatal/postpartum care
➡️ etc., etc. & so much more!

Helping you to better understand your body & your symptoms while reaching the goals you set are of the highest importance to me 🤝 I'm a little biased in my thinking that every single person could benefit from atleast 1 pelvic floor session in their lifetime to learn more!!!

A little about me:
⭐️ I'm a mom to two littles! Mom is my favorite title.
⭐️ you'll catch me with an iced coffee to start every work morning. SF iced vanilla is my go-to
⭐️ my sushi order is anything with spicy tuna, Chipotle is also a given.
⭐️ I recharge best in a quiet environment with space to process info and create a vision of how I can continue to serve my clientele. I really love you guys if you couldn't tell 🥲
⭐️ my perfect day involves sunshine and water! (Dreaming of this perfect day right about now ❄️)

I see patients 1:1 in my office Tuesday-Thursday and accept virtual patients on a as needed basis.

3 stretches I give to pregnant patients who are needing some rib/side relief from baby crowding the lungs in that third trimester 😮‍💨

These lateral stretches open the ribs, diaphragm, and intercostal muscles. The goal with each is to breathe into the side that's being lengthened.

**this is not medical advice. seek out a provider to individualized care.

Started putting together a resource of well-known Endometriosis Excision Specialists for both my in-person & online clients—and I want to share it with you all too! 🫶🏼

An Excision Specialist is a provider with advanced training and expertise in treating complex endometriosis cases. If you suspect you may have endometriosis and have already seen your primary care doctor or OBGYN, looking into one of these specialists could be the next step in your healing journey.

If you know of any amazing providers I should add, drop them in the comments so this resource can keep growing! 💛

A West Coast edition is coming soon 🌊 Stay tuned!
