Thank you, Halo Fitness community, for having me!

I loved getting to join you all this past weekend and dive into The Missing Link: Pelvic Health, Strength & Recovery workshop. 💚

Such an awesome group — thoughtful questions, great energy, and so many athletes who truly care about moving well, lifting confidently, and understanding how their pelvic floor supports performance.

If you ever have questions about pelvic floor or orthopedic concerns, or you want support staying strong and injury-resilient, I’m always here to help. Links in bio to connect!

Thank you again, Halo Fitness Experience — excited for what’s ahead! ✨

KT Tape & Belly Bands: What’s the Truth?

Myth: KT tape or belly bands always help during pregnancy.
�Truth: The research doesn’t actually support KT tape or belly bands for abdominal support or for preventing or treating abdominal separation (diastasis recti).

While these tools can provide short-term comfort or even help cue better posture, they aren’t a one-size-fits-all fix. In some cases, belly bands can actually increase downward pressure if your pelvic floor isn’t properly supported.

Your pregnancy concerns deserve more than a quick fix.

At Zia Physiotherapy, we look beyond tape and bands — we create personalized strategies to support your body, relieve pain, and help you move with confidence through every stage of pregnancy.

Running smarter starts before your first step.

We had an awesome time Sunday morning with Washington Running Club diving into runner readiness, breathwork, and movement screens for injury prevention and performance optimization.

From balloon breathing (yes, really 🎈) to single-leg strength and stability work, these runners learned how small tweaks in movement and breathing can make a big difference on the road.

Thanks to everyone who joined and brought great energy on a chilly DC morning!

Progress looks different for everyone — for this patient, it meant feeling confident and strong again.

Real results. Real care. Real progress.

💡Pelvic Health Spotlight 💡
Pelvic floor issues show up in more ways than just leaking urine.

Here are 3 signs your body may need extra support:
1. A heavy, dragging, or pressure sensation in the va**na or pelvis ⬇️

2. Ongoing hip, back, or pelvic pain that doesn’t resolve 🌿

3. Chronic constipation or straining when you p**p 💩

These symptoms are COMMON, but NOT “normal” or something you just have to live with.

At ZIA, we specialize in pelvic health, helping you move better, recover stronger, and live with more confidence.

Not endless exercises that don’t fit your goals.

Just individualized care to help you move, feel, and perform with confidence again. 💪

Even if you don’t have a specific injury, you can still benefit from PT.

Here are 3 signs it might be time to check in with a PT:

1. You feel stiff, tight, or limited in your favorite activities
2. You keep having small aches that come and go
3. You want to prevent injury while training or staying active

At ZIA, we believe in proactive care — helping you move better before pain or injury holds you back.

Request an appointment through the link in our bio and let’s keep you moving your best.

🌿 Recovery is part of training, too 🌿

Your recovery is just as important as the time you spend working out.

It’s during rest that your body rebuilds, adapts, and grows stronger.

At ZIA, we don’t just treat pain, we teach you how to balance training, recovery, and daily life so you can move better, feel better, and stay strong for the long term.

What’s your go-to recovery habit? Share it below!

🌿 Pelvic Health PT supports you through every stage of motherhood 🌿

• Pregnancy: manage back + pelvic pain, support posture + core, and prepare for delivery
• Postpartum: recover, rebuild strength, and return to the movement you enjoy most ✨

At ZIA, we also offer a Prenatal & Postpartum Care Package designed to give you the support you need before and after birth. With sessions during late pregnancy and again after delivery, we focus on birth prep, scar healing, core + pelvic floor recovery, and a safe return to activities you love.

You don’t have to choose between healing and doing what you enjoy — you can have both!

3 mistakes slowing your recovery 🤔

1. Only stretching, never strengthening
2. Treating the symptom (where it hurts) instead of the cause
3. Stopping PT when pain fades—before strength + movement are restored

Real change happens when we rebuild capacity, not just chase pain relief.

At Zia, we pair hands on care with strength + movement so results stick.
