So often people come to us and say, "I'm not constipated! I p**p a little all day long."

When asked if they return to the bathroom because they don't feel empty, then most of the time they say yes.

This is a sign of constipation!

You should have half your body weight in oz of water spread throughout the day (i.e. 120lbs = 60oz) and plenty of fiber in your diet. If that doesn't do the trick, then come see us and we can help!

Imagine this: I'm sitting in my treatment room during my lunch break getting caught up on some notes when I hear the most BEAUTIFUL cello music fill the whole office. To my absolute joy, I realized it was my client preparing for her next session with me.

As an occupational therapist (OT), we differ from PTs in that we specialize in activity analysis of your "occupations." Occupations are considered everything you do throughout your day to occupy your time: self care, taking care of your chores/errands and family, your job, and your favorite leisure activities such as playing a musical instrument.

For her, the symptoms she presents with impair her ability to enjoy one of her favorite occupations--playing the Cello.

I love working at Fettle & Fit and being outside of an insurance-based model, because it allows me to truly be an occupational therapist and have sessions like this without restrictions or stipulations.

What occupations would you like to get back to doing without limitation?

Meet our team, and maybe see a side you didn't see before.

Our Intuitive:
Elizabeth shines the brightest in her role as pelvic floor occupational therapist when she connects to the heart of her client, allows them to be vulnerable and hears when they realize she is in the career she was meant to be in.

Our Lightbringer:
If you've met Anastasia then you know she is our sparkly patient coordinator, marketer and lots of other stuff. Everyday she brings a delightful energy and positive attitude to work, excited to provide excellent care to our patients and support and cheer on co-workers.

Our Optimist:
As both our leader and foundation, Casey is the optimist. She always believes that better outcomes are possible, no matter the health issue, problem or question. She is highly motivated to find creative solutions, offer choices and constantly strives to be better and help others be better.

Postpartum can be overwhelming. You're in a new life, with a new baby and a new body. Everything is unfamiliar and its hard to know where to start. It may even hurt bending over, picking up your baby, or trying to do even a gentle stretch.

Your body changes postpartum, and that's okay. However, change can be scary and lonely and feel weird. Getting back into exercising can feel daunting. We know. We see it everyday and we're here for you.

Working with our pelvic floor therapists after birth can help you understand your "new" body and how to feel comfortable as your new self. You can get back to exercising, picking up your baby without pain or leakage and going on a nightly walk.

Having hands-on therapy that guides and cues you allows you to really understand what your body needs and what feels good for you. With our team, everything we do is 1:1 with you and your therapist. You are never alone, working with someone less educated or less skilled and we are always striving to work at your pace, level and comfort. You get personalized care at Fettle & Fit and that is essential to our value system.

While Dr. Casey was away on a much deserved break, we may have had just a little too much fun. We kept the days packed and the progress going.

A highlight of my week was someone leaving their session and, as I was walking back towards my room to clean up for the day, she came back into the office calling my name. She came back just to tell me she realized she was walking away pain free! The little girl bubbled out of me as I realized I squealed with joy for her and jumped a little bit.

Have fun doing what you love! And be mischievous every chance you can.

Exercising with a toddler sometimes feels nearly impossible. As pelvic therapists, we have been asked many times to give exercises only in standing so that it can be a manageable workout around a child who only sees you as their personal jungle gym. Then let's throw a family dog in the mix too and spice things up even more! Haha. The point is, it's challenging and we completely understand.

Here at Fettle & Fit, each exercise and routine is specific to you. There is no cookie cutter recipe to success. Unlike other clinics, we cater a plan personalized to you - this includes analyzing your lifestyle and barriers to help you reach your goals. You do not get pre-printed handouts or a plan that looks like everyone else's with your same diagnosis.

Kuddos to all you moms and dads out there being an amazing example of health and self-care to your to your children! They are always watching and modeling more than we think. The time you invest in yourself makes you feel better but also teaches your kids that taking care of your health is important.

Long term use of hormonal birth control isn’t always without consequences. Although it can be great at controlling reproduction, it changes what is happening at the cellular level in your tissues, often leading to a condition called Vulvodynia.

There are other causes of vulvodynia and birth control is just one. When there is pain or inflammation is your vulvar tissue, you might tense up your pelvic floor muscles as a response, leading to more pain.

If you have pain with tampons, speculum exams or pe*******on, come see us. We’ll help you get on the right path. You don’t have to live like that!!
