Early postpartum isn’t the time to “bounce back.” It’s the time to rebuild forward.

Here are the Top 3 things pelvic floor PTs recommend early postpartum (that actually make a difference):

1) Prioritize pressure management

Your core + pelvic floor are healing.
That means learning how to breathe + move without bearing down—especially with:
• getting out of bed
• lifting baby + carseat
• stairs
• coughing/sneezing

2) Walk… but don’t worship walking

Walking is great. But if your symptoms increase (heaviness, leaking, pain), it’s a sign your body needs more support + slower progression.

3) Get assessed early (even if you had a “normal delivery”)

Because “normal” doesn’t always mean:
✔️ your pelvic floor is coordinated
✔️ your core is functioning well
✔️ your symptoms will resolve on their own

You deserve more than “just do Kegels.”
You deserve a plan.

If you’re early postpartum and experiencing leaking, heaviness, pain, pressure, or just don’t feel like yourself… pelvic floor PT can help.

Ballet dancers are elite athletes… but most aren’t trained like one.

Here’s the hot take: Ballet culture often prioritizes rehearsal + technique… and calls that “training.”

But dancing more isn’t the same as getting stronger. And a theraband routine isn’t a strength program.

A 2025 Meta-Analysis published in Frontiers of Physiology reviewed 15 studies on dancers and found that strength training led to major improvements in muscle strength and power compared to dancers who didn’t strength train.

And here’s the part dancers NEED to hear: It didn’t significantly change things like body weight, body fat, flexibility, or endurance.

Translation?

Strength training helps dancers become stronger and more powerful…

without “bulking,” losing flexibility, or changing the dancer aesthetic.

Technique is important. Rehearsal is important.

But if you want longevity, injury resilience, and true athletic performance?

You have to train like an athlete — not just rehearse like an artist.

TMJ pain is almost never “just a jaw problem.”

And that’s exactly why it often doesn’t respond to a mouthguard alone.

A splint can help protect teeth and reduce overload…but it doesn’t answer the bigger question: Why is your system clenching, guarding, or flaring up in the first place?

TMJ pain is often layered with things like:
🧠 stress + nervous system tension
😴 poor sleep / fatigue
🤕 headaches or migraines
🧍♀️ neck + upper back dysfunction
🌪️ breathing pattern issues
💥 chronic pain sensitivity

So if we treat it like a purely mechanical hinge problem, we miss the real driver.

Your jaw is part of a whole system. And treatment should reflect that.

If you’ve been told “just wear this night guard” but you’re still in pain… you’re not broken. You’re under-assessed. Let’s get to the root cause.

Grip strength might be one of the most underrated health metrics we have.

Not because it tells us how strong your hands are…
…but because it can reflect overall strength, resilience, and longevity.

Research continues to show that lower grip strength is associated with higher risk of:
⚡️ all-cause mortality
⚡️ cardiovascular events
⚡️ disability and functional decline

In other words… grip strength is starting to act like a “vital sign” for aging well.

Swipe through the studies.

And if you want a simple goal?
Train your grip like your future depends on it. (Because it might.)

We couldnt help but share this review because it represents all of our values in one experience!

"I found out a few years ago that I’m hypermobile, and I have had gut and pelvic floor issues, but I’ve struggled to understand what that really meant for my body and find someone who could actually help connect all the pieces. I was constantly in pain, and nothing seemed to help. Working with Sara has been the first time I’ve truly felt seen, supported, and actually informed about what’s going on.

She listens to my concerns every session, and everything she does is thoughtful, intentional, and tailored to exactly what my body needs. She’s extremely knowledgeable about the body, understands how everything works together, and is not only excellent at diagnosing the root of the problem but also at explaining it in a way that makes sense. For the first time in years, I’m finally seeing real improvement. I’m gaining confidence at the gym and in my day-to-day life because of the approaches and understanding she’s given me.
If you’re dealing with complex issues that haven’t been understood elsewhere, I can’t recommend Sara Koehl enough. She is knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly dedicated to helping you strengthen every aspect of your body through a holistic approach."

Grip strength is more than a fitness metric—it’s one of the strongest predictors of longevity and overall health as we age.

We were honored to be featured in and discussing why grip strength matters, how it reflects nervous system and musculoskeletal health, and what you can do to maintain it over time.

Longevity isn’t about doing more—it’s about preserving the basics that let you keep living well. Strong hands. Strong foundation. 🌊

….turns out your not the only uncoordinated person in the class 🤣

Coordination work challenges how your brain organizes movement—not how “good” you are at Pilates. We work this muscle for a reason… it shows up in how you carry the groceries, put away all the holiday decor and play pickleball! Coordination is the secret sauce in injury prevention because it improves the brains ability to manage multiple joints at the same time!

PS—while we know you feel goofy during certain coordination exercises… embrace it, a lot of magic happens there!

Massage guns are everywhere—but not all of them are right for your body or goals.

We were honored to be featured in Women’s Health sharing how to choose the right massage gun, what actually matters (and what doesn’t), and how to use them without irritating already-sensitive tissue.

Recovery tools should support your nervous system and movement—not replace thoughtful care. When used well, massage guns can be a helpful adjunct, not a fix-all. 🌊
