Pelvic Health Physical Therapy reminder: if you’ve been told to “just do Kegels” and you’re still leaking, feeling heaviness/pressure, or dealing with pelvic pain… it might not be that you need more squeezing.

I wrote my most recent guest blog for V-Well breaking down why that one-size-fits-all advice can miss the mark, and what signs can hint that your pelvic floor may be overactive (aka needs to learn how to relax + coordinate, not just strengthen).
This is my last blog I’ve written for V-Well to date—hopefully more to come.

Pelvic health nerds🤓, sunshine🌞, and so many belly laughs🤣 at CSM Anaheim 2026.

Back at CSM for the first time in a while and it felt so good to be back. I carved out time to learn from some amazing minds, but the real magic was connecting with pelvic health PTs from all over the country – especially Tracy - and Sheree

I feel so lucky to have spent time with both of them, helping out with Tracy’s company and meeting so many future pelvic health clinicians who are excited about this work.

While I was there, there was plenty of learning, a ton of laughs, new memories, and something really special about being in a room full of people who are out there every day fighting the good fight for pelvic health.

Vulvar itching, tearing, or pain and being told ‘it’s just yeast’? It might be lichen sclerosus and you deserve real answers, not dismissal.

In this blog I wrote for , I walk through symptoms, diagnosis, and why early treatment matters so much. Share this with someone who keeps being told ‘everything looks fine’ when it doesn’t feel fine

Having play time with my friend and former PT classmate before attending the annual physical therapy conference. It is fun to head back to my old stomping grounds!

I had the pleasure of collaborating with and being featured on VWell.com, where I wrote about the benefits of v*ginal dilators.

I didn’t come into pelvic health with a personal story.
I came in with curiosity and stayed because of the patients.
The questions we ask matter.
Being heard matters.
Small changes can have a huge impact.

"Just Do Kegels" may not be the answer. In fact I just had a patient this week that I told them, "No more kegels". Her kegels were making this worse!

And yes, you read that right. If your pelvic floor muscles are already tight and overactive, adding more contractions (Kegels) is like doing shoulder shrugs when your traps are already in your shoulders. This will lead to more tension — not relief.

In my latest blog, and trying out substack 🤷🏼‍♀️ I break down:
✔️ What an overactive pelvic floor actually is
✔️ Why symptoms like leaking, pressure, and pain don’t always mean weakness
✔️ Red flags that Kegels might be doing more harm than good
✔️ What to focus on instead (spoiler: it’s all about relaxation and release)

Sometimes you don't need a superhuman powerful pelvic floor —it may need to let go.

📖 Read the full blog if you’ve ever thought:
👉 “I’ve been doing Kegels, but it’s not helping…”
👉 “Why is s*x or sitting still painful?”
👉 “How do I know if my pelvic floor is tight or weak?”

And if you made it this far and like substack - take a look over there!

✨ Research alert! ✨

Did you know that over 70% of women experience joint pain, muscle loss, and bone density changes during menopause? A groundbreaking review introduces the term "The musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause" to describe these often-overlooked symptoms linked to the loss of estrogen during the menopause transition.

This work by Vonda J. Wright, Jonathan D. Schwartzman, Rafael Itinoche, and Jocelyn Wittstein highlights the urgent need for awareness, prevention, and active treatment to protect quality of life for millions of women worldwide.

Bladder leaks? Common — but NOT normal.

1 in 3 women experience urinary leakage… but most are told to just “deal with it.”
Whether it’s a little leak when you sneeze or rushing to the bathroom with urgency — it doesn’t have to stay that way.

Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy can help you regain control, confidence, and comfort.
It’s not just about Kegels — it’s about understanding your body and giving it the right support.

You’re not alone — and you don’t have to live with it.

Menopause: A Health Milestone, Not Just a Hormonal Shift

Menopause isn’t just the end of your reproductive years—it’s a powerful checkpoint in your health journey.

According to NAMS (2020), your quality of life (QOL) during midlife isn’t just shaped by hot flashes or hormone levels. It’s also deeply connected to your personal values, goals, and expectations.

Here’s what the research tells us:

✅ Menopause is a natural transition, not a disease
✅ QOL includes how you view your life within your culture, community, and priorities
✅ Your overall health perception isn’t defined by menopause itself
✅ This is a chance to reassess your health and redefine your goals

Think of it as a reset button—a time to reflect, refocus, and realign with what matters most to you.
