Resistance training should be a non-negotiable for all women.

The research is there. We should be shouting it from the rooftops… all healthcare professionals.

The benefits of lifting cannot be denied. The consequences of not lifting can be detrimental.

Lower risk of chronic illnesses, increased metabolism, improved blood flow, reduced inflammation, better balance, improved mental wellness, more endurance for daily activities, improved bone health, improved heart health, injury prevention… and MORE.

It’s never too late or too early to start!

April is C-section Awareness Month 🤍

A C-section is not the “easy way out.” It is a major abdominal surgery, and it deserves respect, support, and proper recovery care.

Whether a C-section was planned or unexpected, the body goes through a significant experience. Healing extends far beyond the surface scar. Core strength, pelvic floor function, breathing mechanics, and overall movement all play a key role in long term recovery and health.

Common experiences after C-sections:
-Core feeling weak or disconnected
-Pain, tightness, or pulling around the scar
-Uncertainty about what is safe or appropriate during recovery

These concerns are common and there is support available.

Pelvic health physical therapy can help restore core strength safely, improve scar mobility and sensitivity, improve pelvic floor coordination, and return to exercise and daily activities with confidence.

No matter how much time has passed since delivery, it is never too late to focus on recovery.

Every birth story matters. Every recovery matters. 🤍

💪🏼Dr. Marissa was the CREW 8 week fitness challenge winner in the female division. 💪🏼

8 weeks of showing up for myself and my future self. I gained 2.7 lbs of muscle in 8 weeks.

As a physical therapist, I talk a lot about strength, consistency, and trusting the process…but this was a great reminder to live it too.

Muscle doesn’t come from perfection. It comes from showing up, staying consistent, and putting in the work. Every workout, every rep, every small decision added up.

Your future self is built by what you do today.

A lot of people in pain think their first stop should be a physician, but starting with physical therapy can actually get you better faster.

You do not need a referral to see Proven Physical Therapy.
☑ Less wait time: no waiting to get in to see a physician or orthopedic physician just to be told to try PT.
☑ Lower healthcare costs: avoid unnecessary imaging, medications, or specialists visits when you see PT first.
☑ Faster results: You feel better faster because you get to treatment earlier. A movement-based approach is what many people need.

Physical Therapists are trained to evaluate, diagnose, and treat pain. If something more serious is going on, they'll refer you to the right provider.

Proven Physical Therapy can save you time, money, and frustration... all while getting you back to what you love sooner.

Happy International Women’s Day! 💜

At Proven Physical Therapy, I’m grateful to work with incredible women every day - helping them stay strong, active, and confident through physical therapy, training, and pelvic health.

From pregnancy and postpartum to athletics and menopause, women deserve support for their bodies at every stage of life.

Here’s to strong women and taking care of our health. 💪

There is no perfect exercise or way to exercise. Consistency is what yields results. Just get started and stay consistent!

Once you build confidence and consistency, then it’s easier to dial into what is going to help you reach your goals.

If you workout on a regular basis you are already ahead of a majority of the population!

Not sure where to start? Call or text Proven. We offer remote or in person programming. 712-318-1919

✨Patient Testimonial✨

“I was dealing with pain while running and repeated injuries that kept sidelining me. I was starting to think that it was all part of aging and something that I needed to accept. Fortunately, I decided to go to Proven Physical Therapy, and I’m so glad I did! Marissa was incredibly knowledgeable and thorough. She took the time to address not just the obvious issues, but also pelvic health factors that were contributing. Her targeted approach was spot-on. Now I’m running completely pain-free and feeling stronger than before. My only regret is not seeing Marissa sooner!”

How many weeks, months, years have you been telling yourself you’ll start taking care of yourself? You’ll get stronger later. You’ll work on your balance later. You’ll worry about bone health later.

It shouldn’t be the norm to not be able to get off the floor without help, to not be able to walk through the store without a cart, to avoid certain things because you’re afraid to fall.

It doesn’t matter if you’re 30 or 60 - what you do right now predicts how you age.

You have a choice to make… choose wisely.
