🔥 Restore + Renew: New Moon Edition 🌑
Yoga & Acupuncture with Dr. Jenn + Carole

Join us for an intimate evening of movement, stillness, and healing as we gather under the energy of the New Moon and Lunar New Year.

This Restore + Renew is inspired by the Year of the Fire Horse — a symbol of strength, freedom, and forward momentum. Fire invites transformation: a chance to release what no longer serves, burn away old stories, and rise renewed with clarity and purpose.

Through gentle yoga and thoughtfully chosen acupuncture points, we’ll move together, set intentions together, and heal together — harnessing the fresh energy of the new moon to begin again.

🗓 Saturday, Feb 22
⏰ 4:30–6:00 PM
📍 Root to Rise Studio | Scarborough
💫 $55 | Limited spots

Space is limited! Sign up here: https://www.roottorisephysicaltherapy.com/events/restore-renew-yoga-acupuncture-2-25

Come as you are. Leave feeling lighter, clearer, and reignited.

✨ Free Diastasis Recti Workshop ✨
📅 February 23rd
📍 Root To Rise Studio – Scarborough

What is diastasis recti really—and is healing just about “closing the gap”? (Spoiler: no.)

Join us for a free educational workshop where we’ll break down:
• What the deep core actually is
• How the abdominal & pelvic “canister” works
• What diastasis recti is (and isn’t)
• Why pressure management, breath, and coordination matter more than gap size
• Everyday strategies for posture, lifting, and movement
• How pelvic floor floor therapy supports healing and function

Perfect for anyone pregnant, postpartum, or curious about their core—no experience needed.

🧘‍♀️ Education + gentle movement + Q&A

🎉 Happy 1-Year Anniversary, Kristen! 🎉

We can’t believe it’s already been a year since Kristen joined the Root To Rise team 💛 From day one, her presence, skill, and compassion have been such a gift to our community.

Kristen brings a deeply thoughtful, grounded approach to acupuncture, meeting each person exactly where they are and helping them feel supported, regulated, and truly cared for. Our patients feel it, our team feels it, and we are so grateful to work alongside her.

Thank you, Kristen, for your dedication, your heart, and the calm you bring into every room ✨ We’re so lucky to have you and can’t wait to see what the years ahead hold!

✨ Welcome to Root To Rise, Leanna! ✨

We’re so excited to welcome Leanna, Kline, our Doctor of Physical Therapy Intern from the University of New England, who will be joining us for the next 3 months!

Her passion for pelvic health was shaped through both professional and personal experiences working as a nursing assistant at Spaulding Rehab and witnessing firsthand how pelvic floor therapy can transform quality of life. Seeing the impact pelvic health care had on her mom’s recovery and return to the activities she loves (including figure skating!) further inspired her path into women’s and pelvic health.

When she’s not in the clinic, you’ll find her practicing yoga, reading a good book, or hanging out with her two cats, Ziggy & Zoro 🐾

We’re so glad to have her learning and growing alongside our team. Be sure to say hi when you see her in the clinic!

We believe healing happens best when care is truly personal.

Every acupuncture session in our clinic is 1:1 meaning your acupuncturist has their full attention with you the entire time. We don’t leave the room to treat someone else. Your session is unhurried, focused, and fully centered on your body and your needs.

Acupuncture can support relief from back pain, headaches, neck tension, and chronic pain by calming the nervous system and supporting your body’s natural healing response.

Can’t wait for this!!

🌿 Health Fair: Authentic Care, Rooted in Community

There’s something really special about a health fair, and not just because you can grab free resources or meet new providers…

A health fair is a reminder that your health doesn’t have to be complicated or corporate.

It can be:
✨ local
✨ personal
✨ community-rooted
✨ and built around REAL human connection

When you attend a health fair with small local healthcare and wellness businesses, you’re doing something powerful:

✅ You’re learning what support actually exists right in your own town
✅ You’re finding providers who take time to listen (not rush)
✅ You’re discovering options you may not even know were available
✅ And you’re supporting people who are truly invested in helping the community thrive

This is what “authentic healthcare” looks like: real conversations, real relationships, and real support.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, anxious, stuck in survival mode, or simply curious about what’s available to help you feel better — Come join us Saturday February 7, 2026 from 12p to 3 p at Yoga Etc. in Yarmouth, Maine!

Because community care matters. 🤍🌲

Hello everyone!! Happy New Year! I'm so excited that there was so much interest in this workshop and I can't wait to see so many of you on Monday! I noticed there was an error in the time on my previous graphic so here is the updated one! The workshop will be at 6pm on January 6th (vs 5pm)

We still have some space for both in studio and virtual if you're interested in joining! Please reach out if you have any questions!! Here is the post caption:

Ever wonder what your pelvic floor actually does? Or why no one taught us this stuff sooner? Let’s fix that. 💛

We're hosting a FREE 90-minute Pelvic Floor 101 workshop where we’ll break down anatomy, function, common symptoms, and when to seek support — all in a way that feels simple, relatable, and even fun.

You’ll walk away with practical tools you can start using right away to support your core, breath, and pelvic health.

Perfect for pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, or literally anyone with a pelvic floor. 😉

✨ Looking Ahead to 2026 ✨

As we begin to look ahead into 2026, we’re excited to share that Root To Rise is interested in connecting with a few prenatal and vinyasa yoga teachers who may be interested in joining our team!

We’re seeking teachers who:
🤍 Are passionate about supporting people through pregnancy and beyond
🤍 Value thoughtful cueing, breath, and functional movement
🤍 Appreciate collaboration with pelvic health physical therapists
🤍 Enjoy creating classes that feel inclusive, empowering, and supportive
🤍 Has weekend availability

Prenatal teachers should hold a prenatal yoga certification or have significant experience teaching prenatal populations.

Vinyasa teachers should have completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training (or higher) and have teaching experience.

If you (or someone you love) teach prenatal and/or vinyasa yoga and feel aligned with this work (and are curious about teaching weekend classes with us) we’d love to hear from you!

📩 Please reach out via DM or email us at jenn@roottorisephysicaltherapy.com to start the conversation.

We’re excited to continue growing our community with intention in 2026! 💫

https://www.roottorisephysicaltherapy.com/blog/pelvic-floor-myths-and-truths-scarborough-bath-mainePelvic floor therapy is often misunderstood—and those myths can keep people from getting the support they need.

We hear things like:
❌ “It’s only for postpartum”
❌ “Kegels fix everything”
❌ “If I don’t have bladder issues, my pelvic floor isn’t involved”

The truth? Pelvic floor physical therapy can support people at many stages of life, for a wide range of concerns—from pelvic pain to back and hip pain to overall core function.

We wrote a new blog breaking down the most common pelvic floor myths (and the facts behind them), from a pelvic floor therapista serving Scarborough and Bath, Maine.

✨ Celebrating 6 Years with Carole✨

This week we’re celebrating 6 years of having this incredible human as part of the Root To Rise family 💛

Carole was our very first team member, and from the beginning she helped shape not just what we do, but who we are. Over the years, she has been an integral part of our growth and leadership, helping lay the foundation for the practice we are today.

She has patients she’s supported nearly every week throughout her entire time with us, building deep, meaningful relationships and walking alongside them through seasons of healing and change. That kind of consistency and care is truly special.

She brings so much heart, integrity, and wisdom with grounded leadership to our team, and we are deeply grateful for the way she shows up for her patients, her colleagues, and this community. 💜

Here’s to 6 years of dedication, compassion, and presence. We are so lucky to have you ✨
