Next week on the Lake Norman Woman Podcast, we’re joined by Darlene Ryan, pelvic floor physical therapist and founder of Fundamental Physical Therapy.

After more than 20 years working within a large hospital system, Darlene launched her own practice to offer the kind of personalized, one-on-one care she believed patients truly needed. Today, she helps women and children navigate pelvic health challenges with compassion, expertise, and a deep understanding of how the body works.

This is an important conversation about women’s health, healing, and the kind of care that can truly change quality of life.

New episode drops Monday at 12:30 PM.

April 11 was international nanny training day! I got to spend part of my day hanging out with some amazing women talking about potty training, pelvic health in kids, and constipation. What an honor to help these women enhance their knowledge and improve the care they give! Thanks Safety Seat Squad for organizing!!

Not all constipation treatments are the same... some medications make p**p softer so it doesn't hurt coming out. Some push the p**p through so it doesn't stay in the colon too long. Some flush out the bowel to allow the re**um and the bladder to calm and reset. And then there are behaviors to help with p**ping - abdominal massage, timed toilet sitting, stretching and muscle control exercises. Each strategy targets a different component to managing toileting. Not every person needs every technique, but most need more than one. Layering treatment options helps to address the whole person and all their needs and moves them toward toileting success faster.

If potty time feels like a daily battle in your house… this is for you.

Constipation can look like:
🚫 Skipping days without going
🚫 Painful or large stools
🚫 Skid marks or accidents
🚫 “I don’t have to go!” (but you know they do)

The good news? There are SO many ways to help—from nutrition to medications to simple body-based strategies.

And no—you don’t have to figure it out on your own.

✨ Your child’s body can learn to p**p comfortably again. And Pelvic PT can help!

Reach out today to learn how or save this post for later and share with a parent who needs to hear this. 💛

Potty training questions? We’ve got clear, calm answers for Huntersville parents! 🚽💙 Timing varies—most kids show readiness between 18–36 months, but that’s a range, not a deadline. Regression is normal after changes like illness or starting preschool; stay patient and keep routines consistent. Constipation can stall progress, so hydration, fiber, and a gentle bowel routine help—tell us if it’s persistent. If accidents continue beyond expected ages or you notice pain, withholding, or a big change in behavior, it’s time for a pelvic‑health check so we can identify any underlying issues. You’re not alone—small steps add up. Look for our potty training readiness classes or call our clinic to chat with our pediatric team: https://wix.to/ggPQnbD

Wondering what happens at your child’s first pediatric pelvic floor visit? We’ll walk you through every step so you feel confident and supported. 😊

At our Huntersville clinic, we begin with a relaxed conversation to understand symptoms and daily routines, then gently assess pelvic floor function using child-friendly methods. From bladder training and bowel management strategies to play-based exercises and parent coaching, we create a plan that fits your child’s needs. Expect small, steady improvements over weeks — and lots of encouragement along the way! 💙

Meet the P**p Troop! In effort to help kids understand our goals for therapy, we often pull out these guys... teaching kids that we don't want grouchy, mean, angry, or painful p**ps, but we would love to have happy, calm and pleasant p**ps! Exercises, toileting techniques and diet changes are all part of what we use to find that perfect p**p! 💩
