If your ribs stick out when you lie down and you feel like your back is miles off the ground, you might need some more space in your back!

The rib cage lies under lots of muscles and can get pushed forward if those muscles are over utilized and stiffen up.

Using the breath is a powerful way to release some of the stiffness and gain some space through the back.
Try these before your next workout and see how you feel!

Inner thighs don’t get enough love, and they’re so important for pelvic floor health and pelvis stability! These are a few exercises I like to get them fired up 🔥

1. Standing adductor sliders: use a furniture slider or a paper plate and keep your weight centered between your legs as you slide out and squeeze in
2. Sumo deadlift: with your legs wide and your toes slightly pointed out, hinge at the hips and squeeze inner thighs to stand
3. Copenhagen lifts/hold: with your top knee or shin on a bench, lift into a side plank. You can lift/lower for reps, or just hold!

So many women think that pelvic floor physical therapy means lying on a table for an hour doing kegels or having some sort of internal work.

While this might be a small part of some plans, most pelvic floor physical therapy is about building strength, balance, and responsiveness in the body.

Every plan is different, because every individual’s goal is different!

The reality of running with chronically wobbly ankles in the winter!

These are some of the exercises I’ve been doing to optimize my recovery so I can keep up with my training while still respecting the healing process.

Other things I’m doing:
-Taping before runs to give my ankle extra support (shoutout to for her amazing tape !!)
-Avoiding ice and anti-inflammatories (especially in the first 72ish hours to really let my body’s inflammation process do its thing!)
-Compression & elevation

Hi, I’m Julianne and I’m so happy you’re here!

There are a lot of new faces since I opened in May, and I thought I’d share some things about me.

I graduated in 2020 with my doctorate in physical therapy from BU and have loved working with people throughout their recovery journeys. In the past few years, I really found my passion in working with women and helping guide them through the complex health related challenges they experience throughout their lifespan. That passion is what inspired me to open Tidal Physical Therapy & Wellness in May of 2025.

☕️I love a specialty latte or fun coffee treat, and I prefer a hot coffee drink over cold any time of year!

👩🏼‍🍳I’m an awful cook but a serviceable baker and I’m still sourdough obsessed.

🌊 I love the beach and being near the water.

📕 I’m always reading something, and I love an easy, happy-ending beach read.

🐈‍⬛I love animals, but especially my two rescue kitties, Frankie and Olive

💧🩰Growing up I was a competitive synchronized swimmer

🏃🏼‍♀️I’m running the Boston Marathon this April (!!!) with 261 Fearless

What I love most is sharing fun and educational content and connecting with all of you 🫶 so thanks for being here!

Wiping more than 2-3 times after a bowel movement can be a sign of pelvic floor dysfunction!

If your pelvic floor can’t fully relax while you go, it can block your stool from exiting fully. This can make it feel like you’re never done wiping, or that you can’t really get everything out.

Pelvic floor PT can give you the tools to create length and improve the coordination of your pelvic floor and help you save a lot of time (and toilet paper!).

It’s not just you, pelvic floor symptoms definitely flare up for may people in the winter. The easiest and one of the most effective ways to combat that is to STAY WARM!! Layer up, even if you think it’s overboard, especially around your neck and shoulders. The pelvic floor tends to mirror that area, and if you’re cold and clenching, the same is likely happening down there, which can lead to increased urgency, leaking, and/or pain.

I was a little overzealous with deadlifts at the gym yesterday and woke up with back pain this morning. It’s the end of the day and the pain is mostly gone—here’s what I did and didn’t do:

I DIDN’T:
-ice
-take advil, Motrin, or aleve
-lie down in bed all day
-freak out

I DID:
-walk
-do my normal workout (with some weights/positions modified)
-do gentle core exercises
-unload my back throughout the day (seen in the video)

Acute pain doesn’t have to be scary! If you understand your back’s triggers, you gain a lot of control. Listen to your body, modify as needed, and keep it moving. Movement really is medicine!

Breastfeeding can be a pain in the neck, literally. These are some of the tips I give to reduce some of the load and strain and improve pain!

1. Your arms, back, and legs should be fully supported. Do a quick scan and make sure you’re not holding tension anywhere once you’re seated.
2. Use pillows and props to make sure that you bring baby up to you, not the other way around.
3. Once latched, try to lift your head and look forward. You can obviously check now and again, but try not to spend the whole time staring down!

A lot of women I work with have a goal to return to running postpartum, which I love! It’s super frustrating, though, when you try to go out and end up with pain, leaking, heaviness, or other symptoms.

There are a lot of factors to consider, but impact tolerance is a big one that a lot of women miss.

Here are some of the impact drills I often include to give you more confidence and build up your pelvic floor endurance.

PS if you’re avoiding running completely because you’re afraid of symptoms, remember that the only way to get better at something is to practice it!

Pelvic floor PT can help give you the right starting point and progressions in your return to run plan so you don’t feel totally overwhelmed.

“Bad posture” is a pretty unhelpful term, if you ask me. You could definitely consider all of these “bad” and I certainly would agree if any of them were your only posture for hours and hours.

On the flip side though, does that mean that “good posture” is sitting up stick straight all the time? No, and also that’s impossible 🙃

I think the important nuance about posture is that it’s on a spectrum, and our body (spine especially) likes movement. So rather than trying to have rod-straight and rigid posture (and beating yourself up when you can’t achieve it), try moving around more!

If you’re going to be at your computer or in meetings all day, try to adjust your position every 30 minutes or so. None of the postures have to be “perfect” they just have to be different and variable.
