Feeling weaker after an illness or hospital stay? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to push through it.

Occupational Therapists help you rebuild strength and independence by focusing on what matters most: your daily life. From simple tasks to full routines, we use practical strategies, energy conservation, and environment tweaks to make things feel doable again.

Recovery isn’t just about doing more—it’s about balancing movement with rest so your body can truly heal.

You deserve to feel like yourself again.

Pelvic floor issues are common—but they are NOT something you just have to live with.

Occupational Therapists (OTs) take a whole-person approach to pelvic health. That means we don’t just look at symptoms—we look at how those symptoms are impacting your daily life, routines, habits, and overall well-being.

From toileting and dressing to movement, exercise, and intimacy, pelvic floor dysfunction can show up in ways people don’t always expect. That’s where OT comes in.

With training in nervous system regulation, sensory processing, and trauma-informed care, we help you build real-life strategies that work for your body and your routine.

We also address strength, coordination, and pressure management of the abdominal and pelvic floor—meeting you exactly where you are and working toward goals that matter to you.

Pain. Leakage. Urgency.
Common? Yes.
Normal? No.

And there is no age limit to feeling better in your body.

If something feels off, it’s worth addressing. You deserve support that looks at the full picture.

-Targeted exercises to improve strength and stability
-Education on safely navigating your home and community

⚖️ Balance Screen
With Cathy
• Feeling unsteady on your feet?
• Worried about falling?
• Avoiding stairs or uneven ground?
• Holding onto furniture or walls for support?
👉 A quick balance screen can help identify fall risk and provide recommendations to keep you steady and confident.

🦴 Joint Pain Screen
With Courtney
Does this sound like you?
• Pain that keeps you up at night?
• Difficulty reaching into cabinets?
• Trouble getting in and out of your car?
• Stiffness when turning to check blind spots?
• Struggling to put on socks or shoes?
👉 If you answered “yes” to any of these, your joints may not be moving as well as they should. A joint pain screen can help determine if physical therapy could reduce pain and improve mobility.

✔ No Cost
✔ No Referral Needed
✔ Quick & Easy Screening

Take the first step toward better movement and less pain!

Wellness Tip Wednesday 🧠➡️💪
Train your weak links, not just your strengths.

Most people stay active but still deal with nagging aches—knees, back, shoulders. The issue usually isn’t a lack of effort… it’s avoiding the positions and muscles that actually need attention.

In the clinic, we focus on identifying and strengthening those weak links to build a more resilient body.

Try this today:
• Spend 5 minutes on what you typically avoid (deep knee bend, single-leg balance, overhead mobility)
• Slow it down and control the full range
• Stop short of pain, but don’t avoid challenge

This is how you bulletproof your body long-term—not by doing more, but by doing what matters.

Target the gap. Build the foundation.

Think you have a “small bladder”? Let’s talk 👇

🚫 It’s actually very unlikely that your bladder is physically small (unless you’ve had surgery or radiation).

👉 What’s more common? You may have trained your bladder—and your brain—to act that way.

Habits like:
• Going “just in case”
• Rushing to the bathroom at the first slight urge
• Not letting your bladder fully fill

Over time, your body learns this pattern. Your brain starts signaling “time to go!” earlier and earlier…even when your bladder isn’t actually full.

🧠 The result? It feels like you have a small bladder—but it’s more about conditioning than anatomy.

The good news 👇
✨ You can retrain your bladder
✨ You can improve urgency and frequency
✨ You can feel more in control again

Pelvic floor therapy helps you build healthier bladder habits and retrain that brain–bladder connection so it works for you, not against you.

You don’t have to plan your day around the nearest bathroom 💙
