Health Elevated Pelvic Health Therapy

Health Elevated Pelvic Health Therapy Bladder Leaks. Pelvic Pain. Prolapse. These are common but they are not normal. Amy Underwood is Southwest Michigan’s premier Concierge Occupational Therapist.

Health Elevated helps women get to the root cause of pelvic floor dysfunction so they can move, exercise, work, and live without planning their life around symptoms. As the founder of Health Elevated, Amy specializes in pelvic health services for people who are ready to get out of survival mode, trust their body and love their life again. With nearly 20 years of experience providing physical rehabilitation services across the globe, Amy has treated a wide range of conditions from bowel and bladder issues, to picky eating in kids, to pregnancy and postpartum symptoms, and has helped thousands of adults and children of all ages create breakthrough results and outcomes that significantly improved their immediate quality of life, while empowering them with tools to permanently overcome their health challenges. Amy is widely regarded by her patients as not just an expert, but also an advocate for helping them regain control, confidence, and comfort in their body. When it comes to dealing with uncomfortable conversations about pelvic health, no topic is too taboo, and she skillfully talks to her patients about long term solutions to non-discussed and frequently dismissed concerns (without bringing in any shame or shoulds!)
As a dedicated mother of two young children, (Charlie and Esme,) her passion for helping others extends beyond her professional expertise, as she understands first hand what it is like to balance parenthood, a career, and personal health goals. Amy’s clients know and love her for her ability to listen deeply, and to look outside of common diagnosis for the root cause, and then help them solve the problem in a way that works for them. She believes that just because something is common does not mean it is normal, or that you should have to live with it for the rest of your life. She believes that for many pelvic floor issues that have been previously dismissed as normal, there is help and hope. which is why she offers personalized, hands-on and proven treatment plans that focus on helping her patients get to feeling better starting with the first visit.

L**e talk, part 1. 🫡

The in-the-moment kind… because friction is not the goal.

Nobody really teaches us this stuff! If you've ever had questions about l**e but didn't know who to ask, that's exactly why we make these.

Part 2 is coming and it's just as good. 👀

Lower back pain that never quite goes away? Your pelvic floor might be part of the picture.

These muscles work closely with your deep core and low back to stabilize your body. When the pelvic floor is tight, weak, or not coordinating well, your lower back often picks up the slack.

The result: lingering back pain that stretching or massage alone doesn’t fix.

As odd as it may seem, sometimes the missing piece in back pain is the pelvic floor.

PSA: Your time on the toilet is not a race. 🚫 🏎️ Pushing urine out can train your pelvic floor to work against your bladder and lead to urgency, leaking and incomplete emptying over time.

Let it flow on its own — relax, breathe, and give it a few extra seconds. 🙏

I hear this all the time from women—
“My C-section scar is healed… but it still doesn’t feel right.”

Maybe it feels tight, sensitive, numb, or just different when you move, exercise, or even wear certain clothes.

This is actually really common—and not something most of us were ever taught to understand.

I put together a short blog explaining *why this happens* and what’s going on beneath the surface in a way that’s easy to follow.

If you’ve ever noticed this in your own body, you can read more here:

Don't laugh off these inconveniences with your girlfriends. 🙅‍♀️ This is your body telling you something. While I do agree that finding humor in the struggle can provide a moment of levity, I want to remind you that symptoms are information. Paying attention sooner can change how you feel long term.

It got me thinking about something I’ve been noticing more—not just in books, but in real life conversations too.
A lot of romantasy we love includes themes of intensity and tension when it comes to intimacy. It makes for a great story… but it can sometimes blur what’s actually normal in real life.
Just a gentle reminder 💛
Pain with intimacy isn’t something you’re meant to just “push through.”
Many women experience things like:
• discomfort
• dryness
• tightness or pressure
…and assume it’s just stress, hormones, or something they have to live with.
It’s actually really common—but that doesn’t mean it’s something you have to ignore.
I recently wrote a blog post exploring this a bit more—how what we read and see can shape expectations, and why these symptoms are worth paying attention to.
If this is something you’ve experienced, you’re definitely not alone. Health Elevated Pelvic Health Therapy

Nearly 1 in 4 women live with a pelvic floor disorder, and quality of life plummets in women who have pelvic floor-related conditions, including:

- Pelvic floor dysfunction
- Symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse
- Colorectal symptoms
- Urinary symptoms

Prolapse symptoms have the biggest impact, and the emotional component is the biggest influence on quality of life. Let's fix this together.
