A woman’s body carries her through so many seasons- everyday life, pregnancy, birth, and beyond. 🌳

Pelvic floor therapy isn’t about “fixing” what’s broken, but more a focus on healing, supporting, and horning everything your body has done and continues to do. 🌿

Healing is allowed at every stage. 🫶🏻

Did You Know Sitting Too Much Can Increase Your Risk of Falls?

A sedentary lifestyle doesn’t just affect heart health — it can also increase your risk of falls.

When we spend long periods sitting or being inactive, several things happen:
• Muscle strength decreases
• Balance and coordination decline
• Reaction time slows
• Joint stiffness increases
• Confidence with movement drops

Over time, this makes everyday activities like walking, turning, or getting up from a chair more challenging — and increases the likelihood of losing balance.

The good news? Small, consistent movement makes a big difference.

Regular activity helps maintain:
✔️ Leg and core strength
✔️ Balance and stability
✔️ Joint mobility
✔️ Confidence with movement

Therapy can help by creating a safe, personalized plan to improve strength, balance, and mobility — even if you’re starting from a very sedentary place.

Staying active isn’t about doing more — it’s about doing what’s right for your body.

If you’re concerned about balance, strength, or fall risk, we’re here to help you move with confidence.

❄️ When Should You Address Fall Risk? ❄️

You don’t need to wait for a fall to take action.

Physical therapy can help if you:
• Feel unsteady or cautious when walking
• Have had recent stumbles or near-falls
• Use furniture or walls for balance
• Avoid activities because of fear of falling
• Feel weaker than you used to

Balance, strength, and confidence can improve at any age, and a fall-risk or balance assessment can help identify areas to work on before falls or injury occur.

At Total Balance Therapy, we can help you improve your strength, balance, and movement strategies so you can stay confident and safe all winter long.

🏠 Simple Home Modifications to Reduce Your Risk of Falls

Falls don’t just happen outdoors—many occur right at home. A few small changes can make a big difference in staying safe and confident with daily movement.

✔️ Improve lighting
Make sure hallways, stairways, and bathrooms are well-lit. Add night lights for evening trips to the bathroom.

✔️ Clear walkways
Remove clutter, cords, and throw rugs from high-traffic areas.

✔️ Add grab bars & railings
Install grab bars in bathrooms and ensure stair railings are secure on both sides.

✔️ Use non-slip surfaces
Place non-slip mats in the shower and bathtub, and consider non-slip backing under rugs.

✔️ Keep frequently used items within reach
Avoid climbing or reaching overhead whenever possible.

✔️ Wear supportive footwear indoors
Skip socks on slick floors—shoes or slippers with good traction are safer.

Strength, balance, and confidence matter just as much as your environment. Physical therapy can help identify fall risks and create a personalized prevention plan.

Concerned about falls or balance? We’re here to help—before a fall happens.

Hip Weakness Can be Contributing to Your Low Back Pain and Pelvic Symptoms

Your hips do more than help you walk or run — they’re a central part of how your pelvic floor, core, and lower back work together.

When your hip muscles are weak:

Your pelvic floor and core have to compensate, which can lead to tension or poor support.

You may experience urinary leakage, pelvic pressure, or lower back/hip pain.

Daily activities like standing, lifting, or bending can feel harder and may worsen symptoms.

Strong hips = a more stable pelvis and better pelvic floor function.

That’s why pelvic floor and physical therapy often include hip strengthening and functional movement exercises, not just “Kegels.”

💙 Taking care of your hips can help protect your back, support your core, and reduce pelvic symptoms.

How to Protect Your Back While Doing Housework

Housework shouldn’t leave you sore or in pain. Small changes in how you move can make a big difference in protecting your back.

Lift smart
Bend at your hips and knees — not your waist. Keep items close to your body and exhale as you lift.

Avoid prolonged bending or twisting
When vacuuming, sweeping, or loading the dishwasher, step with your feet instead of twisting through your spine.

Break up tasks
Avoid doing everything at once. Take short breaks to stand tall, reset your posture, and move in the opposite direction.

Use your core for support
Gently engage your deep core and breathe — you don’t need to “brace hard” to stay supported.

Bring the work to you
Raise laundry baskets, sit for folding, and use a small stool or knee when working low to the ground.

💙 Your back is meant to move — just not overload.

If everyday tasks are causing pain, physical therapy can help you move with confidence and less strain.

❄️ Simple Ways to Prevent Falls This Winter ❄️

Small changes can make a big difference when it comes to winter safety.

✔️ Wear shoes or boots with good traction
✔️ Take shorter steps on icy surfaces
✔️ Use handrails whenever available
✔️ Keep hands free for balance
✔️ Stay active to maintain strength and mobility

Falls are not a normal part of aging, and fear of falling doesn’t have to limit your life.

If you’re feeling weaker, unsteady, or fearful of falling, we're here to help!

At Total Balance Therapy, we can help you improve your strength, balance, and movement strategies so you can stay confident and safe all winter long.

Why Core Strength ≠ Sit Ups

Core strength is about support and stability, not just how strong your abs look.

Sit ups mainly work the outer abdominal muscles and can increase pressure through the abdomen and pelvic floor. For some people, this can contribute to leaking, pelvic pressure, pain, or prolapse symptoms.

True core strength comes from your deep core system working together:
✔️ Diaphragm
✔️ Deep abdominal muscles
✔️ Pelvic floor muscles

That’s why in physical therapy we focus on breathing, deep core activation, and functional movements — not endless sit ups.

💙 A strong core supports your spine, pelvic floor, and daily movement — without excess strain.

❄️ Why Do Falls Increase in the Winter? ❄️

Winter brings hidden challenges that can increase your risk of falling—even for people who are normally steady on their feet.

Common winter risk factors include:
• Ice and snow that are hard to see
• Bulky winter footwear that affects balance
• Reduced activity leading to strength loss
• Moving quickly between warm indoor surfaces and slick outdoor ones

Falls are not just about slipping—they’re often related to balance, strength, and reaction time.

These are things we can work to improve!

At Total Balance Therapy, we can help you improve your strength, balance, and movement strategies so you can stay confident and safe all winter long.
