💪 I work with women who want to run, jump and lift heavy without pain, leaking or pressure. And news flash 📢- doing 💯s of kegels a day won’t help with that.

‼️Your pelvic floor doesn’t work in isolation, so we shouldn’t train it that way either. If you’ve been told to do kegels to fix your pelvic floor symptoms, then you’ve been fed the wrong info.

🙌 Want to get relief for good? Send me a message and let’s chat.

💫 Here to give some love to all the c-section mamas!

A c-section is major surgery and needs rehab too. The surgeon has to cut through seven layers of tissue to get to the baby! As the scar heals, it can develop adhesions that create pain, pelvic floor symptoms, and an unwanted appearance. My favorite treatments for c-section scar adhesions are cupping and dry needling. Oftentimes, patients feel better after only a session or two of using these techniques! Once the adhesions have been broken down, then the work can begin to rebuild strength.

💫 Need help with your c-section recovery? Call, email or DM today!

💫 Closing out Endometriosis Awareness Month with some lesser known facts about this highly under diagnosed disease that affects up to 11% of women.

💫 Treatment for endometriosis requires a multi-disciplinary approach. Pelvic health physical therapists are a major part of that team with their ability to help to manage symptoms from pelvic pain, sciatica, and bowel or bladder issues. If you or someone you know are suffering from endometriosis, or suspect that you may have it, a pelvic floor PT is essential for your team.

✨ Just like any medical professional, there is a huge variation in skill, experience, and personality of each PT. Make sure you find yourself someone who digs deep to find the root cause of your symptoms, takes a whole body approach, and takes (has) the time to listen to your story. Trust me, it will make all the difference in your results! ✨

✨This is a common one! And the answer is no, I am out of network with insurance. Let me explain.

✨ I want you to get better. And I want you to get the best care I know how to provide. In order to do that, I need to be free from the constraints that insurance puts on us as providers. Insurance companies like to tell providers what to do. For example, they will limit the number of visits a patient is allowed, or limit the type of treatment provided. Allow your provider to decide what your treatment plan should look like- not your insurance company.

✨Secondly, insurance companies will only allow providers to treat the body part that is symptomatic. In order to treat you as a whole person and get to the root of the issue, we need to treat the ENTIRE body, not just one part. For example, sometimes your foot biomechanics are contributing to your incontinence while running. I want to be able to treat your foot and ankle, not just your pelvis, in order to help! Furthermore, if you come in with a migraine one day, I want to be able to help you with that, even though it’s not what you originally sought out care for.

✨Third, because reimbursement rates keep getting lower and lower, many insurance based PTs are forced to see more and more patients per day. The PT then has to see multiple patients at a time, and patients are passed onto a tech or aide for part of the treatment. This ends up with subpar care, and the patients not getting better, or taking longer to get better. Again, I want to provide the best care possible I know how, so passing my patient s off to a less qualified person and juggling multiple patients at once is just a no-go for me.

✨This is a complicated topic, but those are a few big reasons why I choose to be out of network with insurance companies. Now, that being said, I do provide a superbill after each and every visit that can be submitted for reimbursement. And many of my patients use FSA and HSA funds.

✨ Questions? Shoot me a DM, or contact me through my website (linked in bio).

✨Many of my postpartum patients are concerned about their lower belly pooch or ‘mommy tummy’. Unfortunately getting rid of this is not as simple as doing a bunch of crunches and planks, which only work the front side of your abs. In actuality, your core is made up of a complex system of muscles that encompass your entire trunk- front, back, top and bottom. Without strengthening and coordinating all the different systems, then your abs will have difficulty firing, and your mommy tummy will remain.

✨For postpartum rehab we work more than just the front side of your abs. We work to strengthen, coordinate, and balance all of the systems below to allow the system to provide increased stability. A fun biproduct of that is tighter flatter abs☺️

👉FRONT- re**us abdominus, transverse abdominus, external and internal obliques
👉BACK- multifidus, erector spinae, quadratus lumborum
👉TOP- Diaphragm
👉BOTTOM- Pelvic floor

✨Need some help in getting all those muscles firing again? I’ve got you. Shoot me a DM, give me a call, or send me an email.

✨ You’re not alone! This is an extremely common phenomenon in postpartum women. Pregnancy changes our posture to accommodate for the growing belly. On top of that, weakness in the core muscles postpartum causes women to compensate with other muscles to provide the stability needed to stand up, walk, and lift and carry a baby (and a stroller, and a car seat, and a diaper bag too!). All of this compensation contributes to the changes we see in our bodies postpartum.
✨ But just because these changes are common, does not mean you have to live with them forever! ✨Performing targeted and specific exercises addressing breathing and specific muscular activation can reverse these postural changes.
✨ This benefits not only your appearance, but also helps to bring the body back into alignment to be the strongest and healthiest it can be for all that baby and toddler chasing!
✨Ready to fix your posture, get stronger, and grow your booty🍑? I’ve got you!! DM me for an appointment today!
