A common misconception about pelvic physical therapy is that all it consists of is Kegel exercises. While pelvic floor muscle exercises are very important they are only ONE very small piece of the care provided by pelvic floor physical therapists. Other treatments utilize neuroscience, knowledge and adjustment of posture and body alignment, behavior retraining, down-training techniques, relaxation and breathing techniques, manual therapy including myofascial release, scar tissue/adhesion mobilization and release, bowel and bladder retraining, etc. Which treatment is used depends on the specific needs of each patient. These treatments are used as part of a team approach along with OBGYN, nurse midwives, colorectal, urogynecology, urology, gastroenterology, family practice among many other types of providers, to provide patients with multi-disciplinary comprehensive care.

Postpartum STRONG is more than an exercise class.

It’s a space where women told us they felt:
• Safe asking questions
• Supported instead of judged
• Reassured they weren’t alone

Yes, you’ll get stronger. 💪

But you’ll also gain understanding, confidence, and community.
You don’t have to navigate postpartum recovery alone — and you don’t have to keep guessing.

We start January 20th!

One of the biggest fears we hear is:
“Is it too late for me?”

Here’s the truth-

Women joined our last Postpartum STRONG class at:
• 6 months postpartum
• 3 years postpartum
• 15+ years postpartum

And they still saw meaningful changes.

Postpartum isn’t a short phase — it’s a lifelong chapter. 💜

And symptoms don’t mean you missed your window.
If your body still doesn’t feel like you, support can still help. 💛

Here’s something many women are surprised to learn:
Strength is not the same as squeezing harder.

In fact, many postpartum women already hold too much tension — which is why kegels alone don’t fix leaks, pressure, or discomfort.

Postpartum STRONG focuses on:
✔️ Coordination (not just contraction)
✔️ Breath + movement working together
✔️ Strength that adapts to lifting, running, and daily life

This is not a bootcamp.

It’s a progressive, pelvic PT–led class designed to help your body work with you, not against you.

We start January 20 🎉

If you’ve ever thought:
• “I don’t know if I’m doing this correctly.”
• “I’m worried lifting might make things worse.”
• “I should feel stronger by now…”

Please hear this: you are not broken. 💜

Most postpartum women were never taught how to reconnect strength, breath, and pelvic floor — they were just told to “do kegels” and figure it out.

In Postpartum STRONG, we slow things down so you can finally understand:
✔️ How to move without fear
✔️ How to lift with confidence
✔️ How to build strength that actually carries over to real life

This is guidance — not guessing.

📆 Class begins January 20th

“I finally stopped overthinking every workout.”

That sentence came up again and again in end-of-class evaluations from our last Postpartum STRONG group.

Before starting, many women told us they felt stuck:
– Unsure if exercises were helping or hurting
– Afraid to lift heavier
– Constantly wondering, “Am I doing this right?”

By the end of the class, something shifted. 💜
They didn’t just feel stronger — they trusted their body again.
They understood how to use their core and pelvic floor together.
They stopped second-guessing every squat, lift, or workout.

✨That’s what Postpartum STRONG is really about. ✨

➡️ Our next class starts January 20th
