Are you leaking when you exercise? Pelvic floor therapy can help!

09/14/2023

Every woman who has been pregnant has experienced significant changes to her body; specifically to her core, pelvic floor, hips, back, and ribs. Since these are the foundation of her frame, these changes can also impact her shoulders, neck, knees and feet. While she will notice many of these changes immediately, some of the secondary changes may take years to manifest.

Women commonly experience back, hip or pelvic pain and often have urinary leakage or hesitancy postpartum. They can also experience changes in their bowels or increased risk of prolapse postpartum, a risk that can worsen without proper management.

Unfortunately, many OB/GYN’s and primary care providers lack understanding of the pelvic floor, and the dramatic difference therapy can make for their patients long term.

There is so much more to pelvic floor therapy than kegels for incontinence!

Pelvic floor therapists assess how a patient moves, how the upper core communicates with the lower, and how it handles off-loading. They look at rib position over the pelvis and its impact on posture & stability with functional activities. They assess how the patient functionally manages intra-abdominal pressure, and use internal assessment of the pelvic floor muscles to assess strength, pain, and any prolapse.

The pelvic floor is a hammock for our organs. When we consider that this hammock supports a rapidly growing baby human nine months, and the incredible stretching the muscles, fascia, & skin undergo, it's easy to see why some experience these struggle after birth.

Pelvic Floor Therapists are uniquely qualified to help women have a successful return to optimal function by teaching appropriate pressure management, increase muscle strength, restore appropriate muscle balance, and train functional tissue loading. They have an in-depth knowledge of how the core and pelvic floor interact to provide stability, reduce pain, and prevent future injuries.

Whether you haven't had your baby yet, or your had your last child years ago, pelvic floor therapy may be beneficial for you! Call and ask The Well today!

If you're suffering from brain fog, decreased libido, hot flashes, infertility, mood swings, or erectile dysfunction, an in-depth evaluation of your hormones may serve you well!

At Tʜᴇ Wᴇʟʟ, we are now offering Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy! 👏 We understand your concerns and are here to help.

What is special about bioidentical hormones? These hormones have the exact molecular structure as the hormones naturally produced by the human body. Other types of lab-made hormones do not. At Tʜᴇ Wᴇʟʟ, we choose to avoid synthetic hormones that do not reflect your biology, so that your outcomes are increased, while adverse reactions are decreased.

To determine if hormone replacement therapy is right for you, we partner with ZRT Laboratory to bring you the most accurate and convenient hormone testing experience to our patients.

Rather than just starting you on hormones, however, we evaluate your body for environmental toxins and make sure your liver is detoxified and functioning appropriately before adding further demands on it. We look at the big picture, and treat body as the interconnected masterpiece it is! 🙌

So if you're ready to turn that fan off and be in the mood again, give us a call and get ready to live vibrantly again! ✨
