Physical therapy focused on pelvic floor, pregnancy and post partum care.

I will forever be reminding you that there is so much more to a healthy pelvic floor than just doing kegels.

If you have any type of pelvic pain, then kegels are probably not for you.

For people with pelvic pain, they often have tight and overactive pelvic floor muscles. We don’t want to do kegels and make already tight muscles even tighter.

Pelvic floor therapy can treat a lot of different things.

These are the conditions I treated in the clinic this week.

My patients range in age from 21 to 71.

It’s never too early or late to seek help.

Rehab and fitness exercises are often the same, just at a different level of difficulty.

This exercise is another example of the same exercise in fitness and rehab, just with a different name.

03/20/2026

The exercises are similar in rehab/physical therapy and fitness, just named differently and with different degrees of difficulty.

Physical therapy should eventually (maybe not at the beginning) look like the activities you want to do.

Bladder leakage is about much more than just doing kegels.

These are some exercises a person should be able to do before running if they have had bladder leakage.

Making sure the legs are strong to absorb the impact of running will take pressure off the pelvic floor muscles.

Unpopular opinion here, but most people should not be doing kegels during pregnancy.

If the end goal is a v@ginal birth, then we need the pelvic floor muscles to get out of the way for that, so we need to train them to relax and get out of the way.

If you’re not having bladder leakage then you probably don’t need to do kegels during pregnancy.

If you’re going to do kegels, during pregnancy or anytime, do them slowly and intentionally.

Kegels are not the only way to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles.

We often need to strengthen and challenge the muscles surrounding the pelvis, as well.

If kegels haven’t been effective for you, then you might need to do other strengthening exercises.

See a pelvic floor therapist to figure out what is needed for you!

You don’t have to worry about wearing dark pants to exercise class because you’re afraid of leaking when you run or jump.

Pelvic physical therapy can solve this problem!

I’m not sure who started telling people this was a normal part of adulthood. It isn’t and it doesn’t have to be.

The answer to this leakage is usually not kegels, either.

Leaking with exercise can be caused by pelvic floor muscle weakness, hip weakness, leg weakness, poor technique or tight pelvic floor muscles.

Those are some of the common causes I’ve seen in my clients.

Most people come to me after they’ve tried doing more kegels and they are still leaking.

Let’s fix your problem for good so you can focus on your workout, chasing your kids around, or jumping on the trampoline with them.

Let’s take your mind off of leaking so you can enjoy the rest of life.

Cycling is usually a safe exercise choice for those with pelvic floor problems, unless the bike is what is causing the pelvic problem.

For a lot of my patients the bike is a good option for cardio as it is less pressure on the pelvic floor than impact activity like running and jumping.

So, if the bike feels good, then it is safe for your pelvic floor.

If you are unsure, then work with a pelvic floor therapist to figure out what works best for you.

Spring is here, at least in Southern California it is hot outside. Spring means more bike rides.

I treat a lot of cyclists who have pelvic pain and these are 3 of the common exercises I give them.

Cyclists often have pelvic pain because of tightness in their spine, hips or pelvis. That stiffness sitting on a bike for a prolonged period of time can become a problem.

Cyclists also need core strength so their programming is a mix of stretches and strengthening.

If you have pelvic pain on the bike give these a try.

Also, go see a pelvic floor therapist. Cycling shouldn’t be painful or cause numbness.

These are some of the most common stretches I give to my patients who have endometriosis and pelvic pain.

If you have pelvic pain give them a try and let me know how they feel.

March is endometriosis awareness month and many people with endo can have re**al and bowel endometriosis, which can cause pain on the backside.

These stretches are ones I give to my patients who have tailbone pain and to those who have re**al pain or pain on their backside.
