Your diaphragm, the breathing muscle, is attached to your rib cage. Your diaphragm and your pelvic floor are supposed to work together to manage the pressure in your abdomen.

If your ribs don't move well, the diaphragm tends to sit lower which puts more pressure on your internal organs like your bladder. If you have pressure on your bladder, you are more likely to leak urine.

So, what can cause the ribs not to move well? Well, in pregnancy, your ribs have to adjust to make room for that growing baby. Your ribs might not move well if you have ever had a broken rib or an injury to them. You also might also be holding your breath or shallow breathing, which would cause the lower ribs not to move.

In pelvic floor physical therapy at Awaken Pelvic Therapy, we will always look at your rib cage and how they move. Because we believe that you should get down to the reason WHY you are having symptoms, and sometimes, that means that we have to work on your rib cage to help you with your pelvic floor issues.

If you are interested in really getting down to WHY you have pelvic floor issues, come see us at Awaken Pelvic Therapy. We can help you get your life back. (810)656-9862

Hi! I'm Koleen Adams. I am a pelvic floor physical therapist, and I am the owner of Awaken Pelvic Therapy. When you come to Awaken, every single visit will be with me. So, why not get to know me a bit before you even come into my office for pelvic floor therapy?

I have been a physical therapist for almost 20 years and have helped a lot of people with their pelvic floor issues. I love to play indoor volleyball in my spare time. I am not a fan of sand volleyball because the sand gets everywhere! My favorite song is "Cheeseburger in Paradise" because how can you not have fun when you are listening to Jimmy Buffett? And my favorite movie is The Notebook. I have seen it hundreds of times, and I bawl my eyes out like a baby EVERY SINGLE TIME.

So, what are your favorite activities, songs and movies?

Coffee, carbonation, alcohol, and acidic foods can be bladder irritants. You don't have to give these things up forever, but we do need to know if the foods you're eating irritating your bladder.

When we work together in pelvic floor physical therapy, we address everything from foods, to posture, to stress, to sleep, to how your pelvic floor muscles work, literally everything.

When you are looking for a pelvic floor physical therapist, make sure you find someone who isn't afraid to ask all the questions and isn't afraid to talk about what you eat.

Awaken Pelvic Therapy is a pelvic floor physical therapy office in Lapeer where our goal is to help you get your life back, and that INCLUDES being able to drink or eat anything you want without bladder symptoms.

Call or text us with any questions or to set up an appointment. (810)656-9862

Pelvic floor physical therapy IS physical therapy, it is just specialized to focus on issues related to peeing, pooping and in*******se. At Awaken Pelvic Therapy, we do take a whole-body approach because the pelvic floor is literally connected to everybody part, including your jaw AND your toes.

We also make sure that your program is sustainable and easy to complete at home, because, well, life is busy, and it's hard enough to make time for an appointment. At Awaken Pelvic Therapy, we make sure you understand the WHY behind your pain and help you to treat it without medication or surgery.

Physical therapy at Awaken Pelvic Therapy is different, not just because we specialize in pelvic floor issues, but because we made sure that you deserve better care. We want to help you get your life back.

Scar tissue is the body's natural way to heal an opening. It happens as an automatic process to a cut or break in any tissue. We know that it is so necessary to help you close a wound or an opening.

We also know that scar tissue is not like the original tissue that was there. It doesn't move exactly the same, it doesn't behave exactly the same. When you have a surgery, doctors try really hard to make sure you have the least amount of scar tissue as possible.

Once that surgery is over, we really have no idea what that scar tissue is going to grab onto or pull on. This can result in puckering of your skin, pain with movement, even issues with your organs working normally.

Pelvic floor physical therapists are experts at helping you get your scar tissue moving better. My name is Koleen Adams, and I am a pelvic floor physical therapist and the owner of Awaken Pelvic Therapy.

I want to make sure that your scar tissue is not causing your back pain.
I want to make sure that your scar tissue is not causing your bowel issues.
I want to make sure your scar tissue is the reason that in*******se is painful.
I also want to make sure your scar is pretty, if that's what you want.

After your surgery, including a c-section, go see a physical therapist who is a specialist in what you need who can help you with EVERYTHING you need including your scar. ESPECIALLY YOUR SCAR!!!!

Call or text us at Awaken Pelvic Therapy today, where we specialize only in pelvic floor issues, but that absolutely includes your scar, no matter where it is located. (810)656-9862

In France, every woman DOES get pelvic floor therapy after every baby. So why don't we do this in America?

I have no idea, but I can tell you that in France, they also don't have issues with incontinence in women 35 years and older. Sounds like a coincidence. We do know that not every doctor is talking about pelvic floor therapy with every woman after every birth. We do have a lot of great doctors that are talking with women after a really rough birth.

Here is my recommendation: Make an appointment for pelvic floor physical therapy for 6-8 weeks after your due date. You can schedule this appointment when you are still pregnant, it will help to get you on the calendar. After you have a baby, it's hard to remember to make all the appointments you need to right away.

If you want to step up your game even more, make an appointment for pelvic floor physical therapy during your third trimester. We can talk about how to be prepared for birth, what to do in early postpartum, what to expect for that first bowel movement, and how to push.

I do offer an in-home visit at 2 weeks postpartum for my current clients where we can start our exercises early and safely. Our bodies need some help learning how to work once the baby is born, and YouTube is not going to give you the individualized care you need.

At Awaken Pelvic Therapy, we help women after they have had a baby whether their babies are 2 weeks or 40 years old and we can help you! Call or text us anytime. (810)656-9862

As the snow starts to fall, and the air gets colder, we don't get outside as often. We don't move our bodies as often. But it is still so important for us to move our bodies.

Here are so options to keep you active: take an extra lap up and down the stairs, do a workout from You Tube, bundle up and still go for a walk outside, stand up from a chair 10 times in a row, or walk sideways up and down the hallway.

If you need other suggestions on how to keep your body moving, or if you are looking for an individualized strength training program, call us at Awaken Pelvic Therapy. We will look at how your whole body moves together and makes sure that you are not causing any injuries. Call or text us anytime at (810)656-9862.

Awaken Pelvic Therapy is different than any physical therapy clinic that takes insurance, and it's not just because Koleen is a pelvic floor specialist. We believe that you deserve different care of a higher quality, where you are treated as a whole person.

We believe that you should always know exactly what your therapy will cost you, no surprises here.

We believe that you should get MORE time with your specialist, instead of more time with a PT tech, who honestly knows about as much as your neighbor does about how bodies are supposed to move.

We believe that you should always have access to your specialist and be able to email with any questions anytime.

We believe that you should EXPECT some improvement within 2-3 visits.

We would love to help you get better quality physical therapy and to help you get your life back. Call or text us anytime at (810)656-9862.

Some people would pick the ability to fly, or to become invisible, or to have superhuman strength. I will always pick a well-regulated nervous system for my superpower.

If I can regulate my own nervous system, it keeps me out of fight-or-flight. It keeps me from freaking out over the smallest thing. It helps me to sleep better.

A well-regulated nervous system also helps my pelvic floor because when you are in fight-or-flight, your pelvic floor tends to be tight. That can lead to pain, leaking urine, and constipation.

At Awaken Pelvic Therapy, we will help you with your pelvic floor AND your nervous system because the two are so closely connected. So now that you know my super power, what would YOUR super power be?
