Pivotal Pelvis

02/10/2026

Receiving care when you need it has somehow turned into a luxury service that feels unattainable to many. At Pivotal Pelvis I am proud to say that over 85% of my clients got started with me within a single week of their initial consultation.

Those that dont typically are just scheduling for their convenience preparing for support at later part of their pregnancies, or ever after they return from vacation.

The point is, we are here and we are available. Get on the schedule today! 📆

Are you a mom in Sonoma County (Petaluma, Santa Rosa, Sonoma, Windsor, etc.) dealing with a pelvic floor issue?

PELVIC FLOOR ISSUES....
- could be that you are leaking when you cough/sneeze, or can't hold your bladder at all in moments where you're sick 🤮
- could be that going #2 is taking a lot longer, and requires multiple wipes to get yourself clean
- maybe it hurts to get intimate or just feels different (and you do not want it to stay like that forever)
- or you just feel the weakness in your core that carrying a baby for 40 weeks can do to your body...you feel it when you pick up the baby or try to return to exercises you've done before...

As the only pelvic health occupational therapist in Sonoma County serving adult men and women, I want to be the one to break this down clearly, because pelvic floor exercises are so much more than “just do Kegels,” and your symptoms deserve real answers.

You may benefit from pelvic floor exercises (and a tailored OT approach) if you’re experiencing any of the following:

• Leaking urine with coughing, sneezing, laughing, jumping, or exercise
• Urinary urgency or frequency that interrupts your day
• Constipation or bowel leakage
• Pelvic pressure or heaviness that worsens with activity
• Pain with intimacy
• Chronic hip, back, or pelvic pain
• Diastasis recti or core weakness postpartum
• Difficulty holding urine
• Painful periods or endometriosis-related discomfort

These symptoms are common, but they’re not normal and they don’t have to be your “new normal,” no matter how long you’ve had them.

Pelvic floor exercises, when done through an OT lens, focus on coordination, breath, posture, daily habits, and functional movement.

Polycystic O***y Syndrome isn’t about hormones or irregular cycles, it can affect your entire pelvic system. Here’s how 👇

Chronic bloating = added pressure on your pelvic floor
Constipation = straining, tight muscles, and pain
Stress = nervous system overload and poor muscle coordination
Pain with s*x = muscle tension, inflammation, or reduced lubrication
Fatigue = breath holding, clenching, and poor posture

✨ Pelvic floor therapy supports your body in SO many ways throughout this condition through reducing tension and pain, improving how you p**p, p*e, and move, calming your nervous system, and helping you feel strong, supported, and in control.

You don’t need to wait for your symptoms to “get worse” especially if your body feels out of sync, it’s already asking for support.

Our least favorite myth for EVERY trimester… “You don’t need to worry about pelvic floor therapy until after the baby comes” said by way too many well-meaning providers.

And honestly? We hate this advice. Because here’s what it implies:

1. That pelvic floor therapy is just a reaction to problems.
2. That leaking, pressure, pain, or prep don’t matter until you’re already struggling.
3. That your pregnant body isn’t worth supporting now.

But pelvic floor therapy isn’t just about fixing things postpartum. It’s about setting you up for a smoother birth, a stronger recovery, and a better understanding of how your body works before things feel hard.

As a pelvic floor OT I help with:

– Managing pain as your body changes
– Learning how to push safely
– Reducing tearing risk
– Supporting bladder + bowel health
– Building connection to your core and breath
– Creating a recovery plan before the chaos hits

So no, we’re not waiting. Your care doesn’t start after birth. It starts the moment your body begins to change.

Was it:
- Peeing “just a little” when you laughed?
- Lower back pain that wouldn’t go away?
- That weird heaviness in your pelvis at the end of the day?
- Or the “oh, I just have a small bladder” excuse you told yourself 10x a day?

If any of these sound familiar, pelvic floor therapy might help:

🪑 You shift constantly because sitting makes your tailbone or hips ache
💧 You leak on the way to the bathroom or can’t quite make it in time
🧼 You feel stiff, sore, or uncoordinated trying to wipe after using the bathroom

These symptoms often get brushed off as “just aging,” posture problems, or unrelated to the pelvic floor, but they’re all connected to how your core and pelvic muscles are functioning.

Pelvic floor therapy addresses these day-to-day frustrations with practical strategies, movement retraining, and education so you can feel more comfortable and confident in your body again.

02/09/2026

If you’ve ever stood up after a long meeting or drive and thought, “Wow, my pelvis feels like it aged 30 years,” you’re not being dramatic. Your body’s trying to tell you something.

✨ Prolonged sitting can mess with pressure management, posture, and even how your pelvic floor muscles engage (or overwork). Add in stress or poor support, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for discomfort.

But good news is pelvic floor therapy can help you:

✔️ Learn how to sit without clenching or collapsing

✔️ Move smarter (even in small ways!) throughout the day

✔️ Unwind tension and retrain your nervous system

✔️ Actually feel better at the end of your workday

If your desk chair has become your arch nemesis, let’s talk. There’s a better way to sit, move, and feel.

Feeling like your core just isn’t there yet after having a baby?

It makes sense, pregnancy and delivery stretch and challenge your deep core muscles in ways traditional workouts don’t address. 🌿

If you’re ready to get back to:

🏃‍♀️ Running

🧘‍♀️ Yoga and Pilates

🏋️‍♀️ Strength training

🚶‍♀️ Long walks or hikes

🎾 Tennis, pickleball, or rec sports

💪 Lifting your kids (or just the groceries!) with ease
..then rebuilding your foundation needs to start from the inside out.

Postpartum recovery isn’t about doing more crunches, it’s about retraining your deep core (including your pelvic floor) to work with your body again.

At Pivotal Pelvis, we specialize in safe, functional core rehab designed for real life, not just the gym.

✨ Let’s rebuild your strength, stability, and confidence together.
