Treating a scar that is 6 days old while simultaneously tickling a 2 year old belly. THIS is postpartum care.

Shockwave has incredible healing capacity for wounds and scars. It brings blood flow to the tissue and enhances regeneration. When we are able to treat the tissue in the earlier stages of healing, we see results in a much shorter duration.

Have a planned c-section, recent c-section or perineum tearing? Book with us ASAP. It’s also never too late to get back some tissue mobility and function as well ❤️

Old scars and new scars welcome!

Counseling services and a ton of s*x educational content coming to very very soon… stay tuned 👏👏👏

This post is for the CrossFit folks out there💪🦵

Does your workout include a built in bathroom trip to prevent leakage? And then you still leak 🥺🥺🥺

Pro tip: Do not p*e after the strength, especially if you just trained HARD. Your pelvic floor muscles activate during intense training and they will not release enough to p*e until you have done some recovery. You will not empty fully until the muscles have relaxed.

If you leak, see a PT and learn all the ways to train your bladder and pelvic floor and become fully continent.

Bending over that crib or bathtub does not have to cause you back pain.

You must add in hinges in order baby-proof your back! Start out as a mobility and motor planning drill and eventually add some load (e.g. a good morning or dead lift pattern).

Find your favorite swiffer, broom or dowel and put it behind your back. Feel the outward curves of the spine press against the dowel: head, rib cage and sacrum. Take a few breaths centering the weight over your full feet and feel the contact between you and the dowel.

Begin to hinge from your hips and notice where and when you lose contact with the dowel. Begin again and again until you maintain the contact throughout the range of motion. Keep the weight centered over the feet (don’t rock back or forward). Your knees will unlock.

Progress this slowly and mindfully. Then play with lowering your hips a bit from bottom position (my 2nd variation in the video) to prepare for when that crib gets lowered.

This is a great way to learn how to use your legs when you bend forward!

These kinds of tricks and so many more when you work with us folks at ❤️💕

Bloat is not just about food and drink. There’s a link between your the movement system and bloat.

Pelvic Floor PT is an integral part of this treatment to help manage bloat AND improve the quality of abdominal activation (and aesthetic 🙃).

The process involves some down-training of muscles and activation of others, behavioral modifications and lots thoracic mobility.

This, my friends, is functional physical therapy at its finest. Thanks to the for always offering the best webinars!

DM to book or snag the link in profile ❤️
