I deadlift.

Not because I’m chasing numbers.
Not because it looks impressive on Instagram.

I deadlift because my body needs it.

As a pelvic floor PT and Pilates instructor, I see what happens when we avoid load for too long.
We lose options.
We lose confidence.
We lose capacity.

And as someone who’s hypermobile, navigating perimenopause, with a history of pelvic pain and a nervous system that likes to keep me on my toes (hi POTS)… I don’t get to skip strength.

I need it.

Deadlifts give me:
• Structure where my body has too much freedom
• Feedback I can trust
• A way to build strength without relying on end ranges
• A chance to practice pressure management under load
• Resilience—not just physically, but mentally

Also—this video is my 5th heavy set.
It should look hard.

And if you look closely, you’ll see me start to shift into my right hip. That’s my tell.

So instead of ignoring it or pushing through, I adjusted—
added some single-leg work with the weight held to the outside of the working leg to challenge lateral hip stability and clean up that pattern.

That is the work.

Not perfection.
Not forcing symmetry.
But noticing… and responding.

This isn’t about “pushing through.”

It’s about building a body that can handle more… without flaring, guarding, or shutting down.

Some days that means heavy.
Some days that means light.
Some days that means modifying, regressing, or walking away.

Strength is not the opposite of sensitivity.
It’s what allows a sensitive system to feel safe doing more.

⸻

If you’re dealing with pelvic pain, hypermobility, hormonal shifts, or autonomic stuff—
you’re not fragile.

But you do need the right entry point.

Better begins today.

Pilates is more fun when we allow space to celebrate movement.

Over-cueing can be absolutely detrimental to a person’s movement practice, confidence, and motivation.

Remember: there are no bad movements.

Movement should be fun.

Allow yourself to play.

Give yourself the gift of judgment-free movement.

We have fun 🤣

You might think that being a pelvic floor PT + Pilates instructor would make me immune to injury…
Nope.

Bodies don’t care what you do for a living.

Lately I’ve been dealing with numbness + tingling in my upper back and struggling with shoulder and scapular control (shout out to my bendy body buddies 👋).

So instead of forcing my usual lifting routine, I pulled things back and used Pilates to rebuild:
→ finding shoulder centration
→ improving scapular control
→ layering in serratus + rotator cuff
→ progressing into more dynamic, functional patterns

Nothing fancy. No complex choreography.
Just going back to the basics and actually feeling what my body is doing.

Test. Retest. Adjust. Repeat.

Some things worked. Some didn’t (and you’ll see me pivot in real time).
That’s the process.

My thoracic stiffness + neural symptoms also told me this wasn’t just a “shoulder issue,” so I’ve been layering in sensory work (visual + vestibular), which has been huge.

And the win:
✨ no numbness or tingling after this session

Right in the sweet spot.

A few moments from our Pelvic Pain: Pathway to Relief Workshop last month 🤍

So many important conversations, questions, and “aha” moments. Pelvic pain can feel confusing and isolating—but it doesn’t have to stay that way.

If you missed this one, we’re hosting an encore workshop in May.

Comment “workshop” and we’ll send you the details to register ✨

If your body has been holding tension, guarding, or feeling “on” all the time… this practice is an invitation to soften.

This guided meditation combines grounding, sensory awareness, and a gentle body scan to help you reconnect with your body and shift into a more relaxed, supported state.

You’ll be guided through:
• Settling into a comfortable, supported position
• A full sensory visualization to create a sense of safety and calm
• A slow body scan to release tension from head to toe
• Breath awareness to encourage expansion and ease
• Gentle pelvic floor relaxation (without forcing or effort)

This is not about doing it “right.”
It’s about noticing, allowing, and giving your body permission to let go.

⸻

This meditation may be especially helpful if you’re navigating:
• Pelvic pain or pelvic floor tension
• Chronic stress or nervous system dysregulation
• Difficulty relaxing or feeling safe in your body
• Flare days or periods of increased symptoms

⸻

How to use this practice:
• Lie down in a comfortable position with support (pillows, bolster, towel roll)
• Let your breath stay natural — no forcing or controlling
• Follow the cues, but always adjust based on what feels good in your body
• If anything doesn’t feel right, skip it

You can return to this practice anytime your body needs a reset.

⸻

At Core Moves Pelvic Floor PT and Pilates, we believe healing happens when the body feels safe enough to let go — not when it’s pushed harder.

If every time you try to exercise you end up in a flare, it makes sense that you’d start to avoid movement altogether.

This is something we see all the time with pelvic pain and core dysfunction.

It’s not that your body isn’t capable.
It’s that the relationship between movement and feeling good has been disrupted.

When movement leads to pain, your body learns that movement isn’t safe.
And over time, that breaks trust.

So instead of pushing harder or proving what your body can do,
our focus is on rebuilding that trust.

Starting with movement that feels safe.
Comfortable.
Doable.

Because when movement feels good again,
you can actually build something that lasts.

If this resonates with you, you’re not alone—and you’re not broken. There is a way to get moving and stay moving.

Core Moves Central Nervous System Reset 🧠✨| Columbus, OH

If your body feels on edge…
tight…
guarded…
or stuck in overdrive —

Sometimes the answer isn’t “stretch harder.”

It’s signal safety.

This reset sequence works through:
• scalp massage
• facial soft tissue
• gentle cranial nerve input
• jaw motor control
• humming + vibration

Why?

Because the nervous system listens closely to:
your face
your jaw
your breath
your vocal cords

When we soften the input at the top,
the rest of the system often follows.

Less bracing.
More breath.
More access to movement.

Try this before:
• mobility work
• strength training
• bed
• or during a flare day

Small inputs.
Big shifts.

As always — meet your body with curiosity, not force.

Save this for later. 🤍

Movement of the Month: Shine Your Heart ✨

Thoracic extension isn’t about forcing a backbend.

It’s about reclaiming space
through the middle of your spine —
literally giving your heart room to move inside the ribcage.

It’s about staying upright and fluid.
Capable of moving through the world
without being confined to rigid posture.

When your upper back moves well:
• your neck doesn’t have to overwork
• your shoulders feel lighter
• your breath expands more easily
• your pelvis doesn’t have to compensate

Here are a few of my favorite drills:

☝🏼 Single-finger spinal mapping – proprioception + awareness
🧱 Thoracic extension over a foam roller – segmental opening
🦢 Prone Swan with a Pilates ball – integrating core + adding gentle load
🌀 Thread the Needle – rotation + breath
🧍‍♀️ Wall-referenced Y-W-T – organizing head, neck, and shoulders upright

Remember:

Extension is not compression.

Think length.
Think lift.
Think “shine your heart” forward —
not crank your ribs up.

Small, consistent reps > aggressive stretching.

Save this.
Try 1–2 today.

Let your spine move freely —
with encouragement into extension.

As always, meet your body with patience and curiosity,
not judgment and expectation.

The fenceline of your tolerance will slowly expand —
and your freedom to move comfortably will expand with it.
