While pelvic exams are never a requirement of pelvic floor PT, they offer us an opportunity of better understanding what’s happening in your body. But when does a re**al exam make sense versus a vaginal exam?

Read through today’s post to learn more and drop all of your questions below!

This week, we’re going ti be talking all about pelvic exams. We’ll talk about vaginal exams and re**al exams. We’ll talk about why we do them, what you may experience and how the differ from a traditional pelvic exam done at your OB’s office.

But to start us off - know that they’re never a requirement. While we get great information from pelvic exams, which is why we do them, what matters most is that you’re comfortable an on board with every aspect of assessment and treatment.

If a pelvic exam is what’s keeping you from seeing a pelvic floor PT, we have so many more tools in our tool box.

So what questions do you have about pelvic exams? Ask and I’ll be answering all week!

Staying hydrated and moving your body are two simple, evidence based ways to manage period pain. I love this study because of the simplicity of it and how easy it is to apply. Movement isn’t always possible - time, energy and health can all get in the way. But hydration is another great way to manage pain.

What helps you most with your period pain??

Stress urinary incontinence occurs when pressure in the abdomen overpowers support from your pelvic floor.

That can happen more easily with when the pelvic floor is weak, but it can also happen more easily when there’s already something sitting within the pelvis, like stool. Not to mention the additional strain placed on you pelvic floor by chronically pushing to have a BM.

Constipation can aggravate so many pelvic floor symptoms - like tailbone pain, heaviness in the pelvis, pain with s*x... and definitely urinary incontinence.

So if you’re struggling with constipation and any other pelvic floor symptoms - try managing the constipation and see what happens.

Easy things you can try on your own:
🥗Consider adding psyillium husk and other forms of soluble fiber to your diet.
🚶🏻‍♀️Add movement to your day. Walking, yoga, weightlifting...whatever you enjoy.
💧Stay hydrated! Drink 50% your body weight (lbs) in ounces an add more if it’s hot or you’re physically active.

And if that isn’t enough, consider pelvic floor PT. We can use manual techniques to improve bowel mechanics while guiding dietary and habit changes specific to you.

Di you know up to 70% of women report bowel changes across their menstrual cycle? And yet, no one really talks about it.

In this episode, we break down what’s actually happening physiologically during your luteal and menstrual phases, why progesterone slows things down (hello constipation), why prostaglandins speed everything up (cue diarrhea, and how those shifts connect. We cover practical, evidence-informed strategies you can use to manage symptoms-and when pelvic floor PT might play a role.

Did you know that twice a month our entire team gets together for clinical education? Sometimes it’s journal club, sometimes it’s taking a class together or case conversations. This month we had an amazing presentation on perimenopause and menopause management.

This is unfortunately the best picture we got from a really wonderful presentation by Abby Brown, CNM, NAMS about treatment options for symptoms associated with perimenopause and menopause. Abby works as a nurse practitioner at and is a wealth of knowledge for women in Austin!

Endometriosis and IBS have some overlapping symptoms. If you have pain that cycles with your menstrual cycle as well as GI symptoms, thinking about how your symptoms show up can help you work towards the right diagnosis.

Want your practice to be the top-listed Clinic in Austin?

Hello, Austin!

I want to introduce myself to you all. My name is Rebecca Maidansky and I am a pelvic floor physical therapist and the founder of Lady Bird Physical Therapy. I came to Austin, by way of San Francisco, from Philadelphia. That’s where I got my Doctorate in Physical Therapy. I used to joke that I got here by taking a wrong turn somewhere, but who can blame me? I moved in July.

I’ve always been a vocal advocate of women’s rights and health. Too often I hear new mom’s say “I wish I had known..,” Why didn’t anyone tell me...” My mission is to reach more people and help guide them through the beautiful but wild ride that is pregnancy and the postpartum period. I want you to know what changes you can expect in your body and how to best prepare for them.

I also want you to know how valuable physical therapy can be for you. If you are having pain while sitting, walking, having s*x, exercising, taking care of your child... doing anything, physical therapy can help you. You are not alone. If you are having difficulty controlling your bladder when you cough, sneeze, laugh or walk, physical therapy can help. These are common experiences. If you are having trouble controlling your gas, getting in and out of bed, or if you generally feel weak, once again, physical therapy can help.

Obviously, I’m bias, but I love conservative care. I love that PT is an option that has no negative side effects. I love that I can help you reclaim your body and life. I love that I can help you avoid pain and surgery.
