Thank you Broadway Dental for having me come talk to them about jaw pain last week! They were an awesome group.

Did you know Proven Physical Therapy treats jaw pain? There is a correlation with the pelvic floor and your jaw. Proven PT uses a whole body approach to treat jaw pain and has a lot of patient success stories that had suffered with jaw pain for years prior to PT.

This is what pelvic health PT can look like.

The days of laying on your back just doing Kegels are gone... or at least they should be. When was the last time you leaked urine laying on your back? Or was it maybe when you stepped quickly off a curb, while you were lifting weights, or while you were on a walk.

Proven Physical Therapy believes in strengthening the pelvic floor through functional movements and coordinating your pelvic floor to actually help your body.

Some success stories in the last couple months:
-Grandma was able to play with her grandkids and get on and off the floor with no problem because she had good leg strength and no leaking.
-Busy mom returned to running and lifting program with NO leakage following years of leaking and avoiding running.
-Athlete was able to lift heavier and enjoy a full workout without feelings of heaviness or pelvic pain.
-Woman was able to AVOID a major surgery because she was able to improve her pelvic floor strength and coordination - saving her recovery time and money!

Pelvic health PT can absolutely change your life. What are you waiting for? Call or text Proven at 712-318-1919 to get your evaluation scheduled. Telehealth is also available and can be a great way to get started on your pelvic health journey right from the comfort of your home.

Move Better. Feel Better. Live Better. That is the Proven motto.

Let’s talk pelvic health.

So many of you are told to “just do Kegels” or “that’s just a normal part of…”. Please know that although pelvic symptoms are common, they do not have to be your normal!

The pelvic floor is a set of muscles and can be trained to be stronger and more coordinated.

Incontinence is not a normal part of aging and leaking when you laugh or jump doesn’t have to be your normal.

Pelvic health is related to hip and low back pain. Over 70% of women over the age of 30 with low back pain have some sort of pelvic health dysfunction.

These are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to pelvic health myths.

Please don’t just ignore your pelvic symptoms. Pelvic health PT can be life changing. Call Proven at 712-318-1919 to get your pelvic health journey started.

Move Better. Feel Better. Live Better.

What is Dry Needling?

Dry Needling is a therapeutic technique where thin needles are inserted into muscle "trigger points" to relieve pain, muscle tightness, and movement issues. It stimulates a twitch response that increases blood flow and elicits a healing response. Dry Needling can also help improve athletic recovery and reduce muscle soreness.

Dr. Marissa is certified in dry needling and has taken multiple courses to be able to dry needle muscles from your head to your toes.

While walking is great for health, it is not a strength program.

You need to strength train if you want to age well.

We lose 3-8% of our muscle mass per decade after the age of 30. After the age of 60 it is even more per decade! You can significantly reduce that with a strength program. It doesn't have to be fancy and you don't have to have experience to start one. The important step is to just start!

Benefits of a strength program:
-Build and maintain muscle strength
-Improves bone density
-Boosts metabolism
-Enhances joint health
-Improves balance and stability
-Reduces risk of chronic illnesses
-Improves sleep quality
-Boosts mood and self-esteem

And if you're wondering... no, walking with a weighted vest is also not a strength program.

Proven Physical Therapy is here to help get you started! Call 712-318-1919.

Move Better. Feel Better. Live Better.

Pain isn't forever.

Many people are told myths... and often by providers they should be able to trust.

100% of the things listed are absolutely true.

Back pain is the most common pain in the US

Disc herniations are common - 97% of them can heal without surgery

Degeneration is a normal age related change - your pain is likely from not moving as you age rather than the actual degeneration itself...

Your spine is incredibly resilient and strong!

If you want to debunk more myths and get to feeling better, give Proven a call. 712-318-1919

To use or not to use lift straps? It depends!

Grip strength is incredibly important - it is related to dementia and mortality. Improving your grip is always a good idea!

BUT if your grip is holding you back on your lower body gains, it may be beneficial to use straps to help hold onto the heavier weight to challenge your muscles enough.

Ditch the straps when your hands can keep up with your leg work or if you’re lifting upper body.

Move Better. Feel Better. Live Better.
