Congrats to In Bloom Physio clients Jaclyn and Kaitlyn on crossing the Berlin Marathon finish line yesterday!

It’s been so inspiring watching both of these strong runner moms put in the work over the months and years we’ve worked together - from navigating the initial postpartum return-to-run progression to managing aches and pains that cropped up during marathon training. They overcame plenty of obstacles to get to the finish line, including travel delays and unseasonably hot weather in Berlin, but as always, they showed up with grit, strength, and determination. 💪

Drop them a congrats in the comments - and if you’re a runner, share your favorite post-race recovery routine!

Lots of new followers around here (hello to everyone who found me from the a few weeks ago - remember when that was a thing?), so I wanted to take a moment to reintroduce myself!

I’m Dr. Kristen Lund, a physical therapist and owner of In Bloom Physio. You can call me Kristen!

I love working with people who are active (or looking to become active), motivated, and eager to get back to the things they love to do, without pain or pelvic floor dysfunction.

I’m from nearby Columbus, Indiana, and have been a PT since 2017. I’m passionate about bridging the gap between the orthopedics/sports medicine world, where I started my career, and the pelvic health field!

When I’m not taking care of patients (or doing ridiculous viral video stunts in the office), you can find me with my nose in a book, spending time with my husband and our two young daughters, or in the audience at theatre and dance performances.

The best way to reach me if you’d like to work together or just chat: Fill out the contact form on my website, linked in bio. In the meantime, introduce yourself in the comments. I’d love to meet you! 👋

PSA: Not all physical therapy is created equal! 📣 If you’ve tried PT before and it didn’t help, the problem might not have been PT in general, but that you weren’t getting high-quality care. Finding a highly skilled and compassionate therapist, and a practice that lets them do their best work, can make all the difference in your recovery.

If you’re struggling with pain or pelvic floor issues, and you haven’t gotten the results you wanted from past PT, you’re not alone - I hear this frequently from my patients. I’d love to talk with you, hear your story, and have the opportunity to walk alongside you on your path to healing. Reach out via the contact form on my website (link in bio).

I couldn’t let Pride Month slip away without saying this:

I’m proud to be an ally in the ongoing fight for equality and acceptance. This is true every day and every month, not just in June, but feels especially important to say right now.

As a healthcare provider and a human, I recognize the significant healthcare disparities and discrimination the LGBTQ+ community faces. I do my best to keep learning, growing, and trying to be part of the solution by providing inclusive and compassionate care to everyone who walks through my doors.

Please know this: Whoever you are, whoever and however you love, you are welcome, safe, and celebrated here. 🌈

I founded In Bloom Physio because I know healthcare can be better than the status quo, and I’m passionate about getting to know you as a person, tailoring your treatment to your needs and goals, and providing the kind of care I want for myself and my loved ones. I’m so thankful for everyone who trusts me to help them feel better and reach their goals, and takes the time to share feedback like these recent Google reviews.

Online reviews are vital, especially for small practices like mine, in helping people make informed decisions about their providers. (Yes, even if your doctor sends a referral to a different clinic, you can choose where you want to go!)

If we’ve worked together and you had a great experience, please consider leaving a Google review (link in stories). If we haven’t yet worked together, why not write a review for another local small business of your choice - you’ll make their day! ☀️

Happy Global Running Day! 🏃‍♀️

Here I am in 2016, about to cross the finish line of my first marathon. It was my last year of physical therapy school, and running was a lifeline on my journey to becoming a PT. It gave me a chance to step out from the fluorescent lights of the lab, leave behind the never-ending PowerPoints and stacks of flash cards, and take a respite from the stress of graduate school. Those hours in nature, moving my body and letting my brain unwind, kept me balanced.

As the months went by and the miles ramped up, I showed myself, over and over, that I could accomplish things I never imagined I could do. My confidence grew, both on the run and in the rest of my life, that I could rise to any challenge in front of me. It’s never just about the running, is it?

As a physical therapist, I love working with runners - they’re motivated, resilient, and disciplined. Unfortunately, they also have frequent struggles with the healthcare system, including a lack of providers who understand the sport and its demands, and the dreaded blanket advice to “just stop running.”

If you’ve ever been told to stop running because of injuries or pelvic floor issues, I’d love to help you find a way back to doing what you love. Reach out via the contact form on my website, linked in bio.

Lots of new followers lately, and it’s been awhile since I introduced myself, so: Hi! 👋 I’m Dr. Kristen Lund (you can call me Kristen). I’m the founder of In Bloom Physio and an orthopedic and pelvic floor physical therapist. What that means: I help people overcome pain and pelvic floor issues so they can live their best, most active lives.

Some things to know about me:

👩🏻‍⚕️ I’ve been a physical therapist for eight years, and I’m board certified as an orthopedic clinical specialist - a designation held by around 6% of PTs that shows expertise in the field. I took the six-hour OCS exam when I was six months pregnant. There were many snacks involved.

🌸 I opened In Bloom Physio in January 2024 in downtown Bloomington, Indiana. My vision was to bridge the gap between the fields of ortho/sports med and pelvic floor PT - taking a whole-person, fitness-forward approach to helping people do what they love.

📚 A fun fact about me: I changed careers to become a PT! My bachelor’s degree is in English, and in my previous life, I worked as a magazine writer, freelance writer and editor, and media relations director. When I’m not at work, you can often find me with my nose in a book or having a lively discussion with my book club.

Have questions or want to schedule an appointment? I’d love to hear from you! Reach out via the contact form on my website (link in bio).

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the strong mamas out there! 💐

One of the most rewarding parts of my job is working with moms-to-be during pregnancy, then seeing them back in the office postpartum with a new baby in tow. 😍 (Yes, babies are welcome in my office!)

During pregnancy, physical therapy can alleviate the discomfort and pelvic floor issues that can crop up, as well as help moms prepare for birth by practicing different breathing and pushing techniques and positions. Postpartum PT often focuses on restoring the strength and function of your pelvic floor as you transition to parenthood and resume a more active lifestyle - whether that’s a competitive sport, your favorite fitness class, or picking up your kids and chasing them around the playground. 💪

Here are a few of the babes who’ve made an appearance at the In Bloom Physio office - whether in utero, in their strollers, or both! Say hello to Camp, Eloise, James (and big brother Tommy), and Geneva Mae. 💗

I get this question often from my patients, the vast majority of whom are busy - think college students, working parents, and stay-at-home moms of multiple kids.

My answer is based on the CDC and WHO guidelines, which were developed through reviews of scientific research that shows the many benefits of physical activity: better sleep, improved mental health, and a reduced risk of numerous chronic diseases, to name a few.

My take as a physical therapist: Start where you are! Any movement is better than none. Progression to these guidelines should be gradual and individualized, taking into account any symptoms such as pain, pelvic floor dysfunction (including incontinence or prolapse symptoms), or other health concerns.

Questions? Drop them in the comments or send me a DM! And follow along for Part 2 of this post- how I incorporate physical activity into my week as a working mom of young kids.

One of my former bosses used to compare our jobs as physical therapists to Disney employees (or “cast members”). At Disney, whenever a cast member is client-facing, they’re said to be “onstage” - positive, engaged, and focused on creating a superb experience for guests. It stuck with me, and I strive to go above and beyond for my patients each and every session.

That being said, if you’re curious about what happens when I’m “offstage” with no patients in my office, here’s a look at what I’ve been up to lately!

1. I try to practice what I preach and incorporate physical and mental wellness into my workday, so if I have a spare moment and the weather’s nice, you can often find me walking on the B-Line… 🚶🏻‍♀️
2. …or doing a restorative pose and breathwork. 🧘‍♀️
3. This is 3.5 days of clinic laundry, soon to be hauled up several flights of stairs since the parking garage elevator is out of service. 🥵
4. For someone working in a small office with no microwave or communal kitchen, this little Crock Pot is a game changer for lunchtime. The Minnesota pot holder was a gift from my late, great mother-in-law, and I think of her every time I use it. 💗
5. Tea time! English breakfast is my pick-me-up of choice. (Yes, pelvic floor PTs consume bladder irritants, too.) ☕️
6. Watching video lectures over lunchtime for a continuing education course I took last month on urogynecologic conditions. 📑

What’s your go-to ritual to recharge during your day? Share in the comments!

Signing off for the next week! 👋 I’ll be chasing waterfalls in Iceland, but don’t worry - my pelvic floor PT brain never turns off, so I’ll be thinking up plenty of bladder-related social media content while doing so. 😂

I’ll respond to voicemails, emails, and DMs when I return to the office March 31.

Wishing everyone a safe and happy spring break!

Happy International Women’s Day! Today, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and accomplishments of women everywhere, while also recognizing the disparities that still exist for women and the unique health challenges we face.

Did you know:

🗣️ Pelvic floor dysfunction - such as pain, heaviness, and incontinence - affects 1 in 4 women, yet it often goes undiagnosed and untreated.

✋🏻Nearly half of women with pelvic floor dysfunction stopped their previous exercise program due to their symptoms.

❤️‍🩹 Female athletes are more vulnerable to specific injuries including ACL tears and stress fractures due to our unique anatomy and hormonal fluctuations.

🏃🏻‍♀️Nearly half of adolescent female athletes experience stress urinary incontinence - the involuntary leaking of urine with activities such as running and jumping.

As a physical therapist who specializes in orthopedic and pelvic floor rehabilitation for active women, I’m honored to walk alongside my clients on their journey to better health and performance. If you’re not able to run, jump, play, or lift as you wish, know that you’re not alone, and help is available.
