Your pelvic floor muscles do more than you think, and sometimes the issue isn’t weakness, it’s too much tension.

A tight pelvic floor can show up in ways many people don’t expect, from pelvic pain and constipation to difficulty urinating or pain with intimacy.

The key? These muscles need to be able to both contract AND relax. When they stay constantly tight, it can disrupt normal bladder, bowel, and pelvic function.

Pelvic floor physical therapy helps retrain these muscles so they can move and function the way they’re supposed to.

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, you’re not alone, and there are solutions.

✨ Your body deserves care that gets to the root of the problem.

Kegels are often the first thing people hear about when it comes to pelvic floor health… but they aren’t the answer to everything.

While Kegels can be helpful for some conditions, they aren’t always the right place to start.

🔹 If you’re experiencing leakage:
Strengthening the pelvic floor with Kegels may be helpful because they train the muscles that support the bladder.

🔹 If you’re experiencing pelvic pain:
Kegels can actually make symptoms worse. Pain is often related to a pelvic floor that is too tight or not coordinating properly.

🔹 The key is proper assessment:
Your pelvic floor might need strengthening, relaxation, coordination training, or a combination of all three.

That’s where pelvic floor physical therapy comes in. A pelvic floor PT can evaluate what your muscles are actually doing and guide you through the right exercises for your body.

Pelvic health isn’t one-size-fits-all. Education and the right treatment plan make all the difference. 💛

Tailbone pain that won’t go away? It might not be what you think.

Many people stretch more, sit on cushions, or avoid activity — but the real issue could be pelvic floor tension, glute weakness, or prolonged compression patterns.

If you’ve been dealing with persistent tailbone pain, we’re here to help you get to the root cause. DM us or click the link in our bio to schedule an evaluation.

The p***c symphysis is the joint where your two pelvic bones meet in the front. During pregnancy, postpartum, or even with repetitive strain, that joint can become irritated when the muscles around it aren’t coordinating well.

That’s where a pelvic sling reset comes in 👇

Your pelvic sling includes:
• Deep core muscles
• Pelvic floor
• Inner thighs (adductors)
• Glutes

When these muscles work together, they create compression and support across the front of the pelvis — helping calm pain and improve stability.

This exercise focuses on:
✨ Gentle adductor engagement
✨ Coordinated breath work
✨ Deep core activation
✨ Restoring balanced tension across the pelvis

It’s not about squeezing harder.
It’s about reconnecting the system.

If you’re feeling pain with rolling in bed, getting out of the car, standing on one leg, or walking — your pelvis may need support, not just stretching.

Save this and try it with slow, controlled breathing. And if pain persists, a pelvic floor PT can assess what your body specifically needs.

✨ Your ribs + your pelvic floor are more connected than you think.

If you struggle with pelvic floor tension, leaking, core weakness, or a “can’t quite get my abs to engage” feeling… your rib cage positioning might be part of the story.

When the ribs flare up and out, the diaphragm can’t stack over the pelvis—throwing off pressure, posture, and pelvic floor coordination.
When the ribs are neutral? Everything works together again. 🌬️💛

Swipe through to learn how rib flare affects your pelvic floor, and what better alignment can do for your core + breath + strength.

Pelvic floor therapy isn’t just for recovery, it’s also about preparation. 💪

Before surgery, therapy helps build strength, mobility, and awareness so your body is ready to heal.
After surgery, it supports gentle recovery, restores function, and helps you reconnect with your body confidently. 💜

Healing starts before the procedure, and continues with the right support after.

Did you know stress doesn’t just live in your mind, it lives in your muscles too? Just like your shoulders or jaw tense up, your pelvic floor can tighten under stress.

⚡ Chronic tension may lead to:
➡️ Pelvic pain
➡️ Constipation
➡️ Pain with intimacy

🌿 The good news? Simple breathing techniques can help relax the pelvic floor and release tension. Pair that with pelvic floor PT, and you’ll feel stronger, calmer, and more in control.

Your pelvic floor does way more than you might think.✨
From bladder control to core stability, it’s the unsung hero of your body.

Pelvic floor therapy isn’t just for postpartum recovery—it’s for ANYONE looking to feel stronger, more supported, and more in control.🙌🏼

Let’s break the stigma and talk about it.

We’re Thrilled to Introduce Erin Floyd, PTA!
Join us in welcoming our newest team member, who brings a wealth of expertise and a passion for patient care. With a strong background in manual therapy, Erin is excited to help our patients reach their goals and live healthier, more active lives.

Here’s a little about Erin:

I moved to El Paso, TX from Boston, MA to be with my parents, (who are retired military) where I went to school to receive my A.A.S. in Physical Therapist Assistant from Western Technical College in 2015. I moved to DFW in 2016 and found a great community of triathletes, with whom I trained with in preparation for the Age Group National Championships, 1 full Ironman and 2 half Ironman races. At the end of 2019, I made the decision to return to school at Pima Medical Institute, to get my Bachelors of Science in Physical Therapist Assistant. I received my Orthopedic Manual Therapy Specialization last year so that I can better serve my patients. Watching my patients meet their goals, brings me so much joy. My goals are to continue to grow my skillset to help as many people as possible. I believe that I am blessed, to be a blessing (to someone else).
