Having an ostomy does not mean you are fragile.

But it also does not mean you should be handed vague advice like “just exercise” with zero guidance on how to move, brace, breathe, lift, strengthen, and return to the activities you actually care about.

After ostomy surgery, many people are worried about hernia, prolapse, pressure, leaking, pain, or “doing something wrong.”

That fear makes sense — but fear should not be the whole rehab plan.

Core rehab after ostomy should include:
✔️ Learning how to manage abdominal pressure
✔️ Rebuilding the abdominal wall gradually
✔️ Coordinating breath, core, and pelvic floor
✔️ Progressing exercise safely
✔️ Returning to lifting, walking, running, sports, parenting, work, and life
✔️ Reducing fear around movement

A stronger abdominal wall is protective. Avoiding movement forever is not the answer.

You deserve more than “be careful.”
You deserve a real plan.

We help people with ostomies rebuild strength, confidence, and trust in their bodies — one step at a time.

Have an ostomy and not sure where to start? Reach out. This is exactly the kind of rehab we love doing.

Let’s stop pretending insurance-based PT is automatically the “cheaper” option. Sometimes it’s not cheaper. Sometimes it’s just worse and expensive.

High deductibles, copays, coinsurance, and surprise bills can leave people paying a small fortune for rushed care, minimal one-on-one attention, and treatment that barely scratches the surface.

We don’t know every detail behind this specific bill, but the bigger point stands: insurance coverage does not guarantee affordability, value, or quality.

At our practice, you get a full hour, one-on-one, with your physical therapist. Every visit. No aides. No assistants. No being passed around. No getting 10 minutes of actual skilled care and then being parked on a table or sent off to do exercises alone.

You are paying for expertise, attention, clinical reasoning, and care that is individualized and evidence-based.

And honestly? We are a bargain.
A real bargain.
Because what we offer is high-level, focused, personal care from clinicians who know what they’re doing and are fully invested in getting patients better.

That kind of care is rare. And it is absolutely worth paying for.

Truthfully, Esther, Fiana, and Dassi are the kind of PTs I would want treating me myself. No question.

Your gut is not “just sensitive.”

Stress, anxiety, tension, breathing patterns, pelvic floor coordination, movement, and nutrition all play a role in how your gut feels and functions.

If you deal with bloating, indigestion, constipation, abdominal pain, or that constant “everything feels off” feeling, this workshop is for you.

Join us for The Gut & Body Reset — an evening focused on calming the nervous system, improving gut-brain communication, supporting abdominal and pelvic floor coordination, and learning how food can nourish your microbiome and overall health.

You’ll leave with practical tools you can actually use:
breath work, relaxation strategies, self-massage, movement, and gut-supportive nutrition.

92 years young and THRIVING 🙌💪
After waking up 7x a night for an entire year 😴➡️🚽… she’s now down to just 2x a night in only a few pelvic floor PT sessions.
No new meds. No surgery. Just the right plan and a body that was ready to respond. 💥
Age is not a limit. It’s never “too late.” 🩷
So proud of her dedication and so grateful for the trust my patients place in me.

Still feeling dry, irritated, urgent, or uncomfortable… even though you’re “doing all the right things”?

You’re not broken. And you’re definitely not alone.

For many women, estrogen changes during perimenopause and menopause affect the bladder, urethra, v***a, va**na, and pelvic floor.

✨ When estrogen isn’t enough, the magic is in the combination:

• Pelvic floor physical therapy
• Local estrogen (used correctly 👀)
• Or high-quality va**nal moisturizers & lubricants if estrogen isn’t your thing

The goal isn’t just “tolerable.”
The goal is comfortable, confident, and symptom-free—when you p*e, move, exercise, and have s*x.

If you’re overwhelmed, confused, or stuck in trial-and-error mode → that’s where we come in. We help you connect the dots and guide you to what actually works.

Save this. Share it. And if this sounds like you, let’s talk. 💬

Time to set the record straight on abdominal separation after pregnancy aka diastasis recti (ps. men can have a separation too as can anyone including children and teens).

10 years ago the word on the street was not to move and to do the “right” exercises with the goal of “closing the gap” of the two halves of your abdominal wall. Women were told to stop doing crunches, avoid twisting and extending their back. Patients would show up to PT terrified, weak, and stiff as a board walking around like they had a literal stick up their a$$.

This was all based on some weak studies and theories but when more appropriate research was done we found that instead of helping women heal from pregnancy we were scaring them and not achieving anything to show for it other than a bunch of postpartum women who couldn’t find their ab muscles to save their lives.

Fast forward 5 years and we found that the gap we were so obsessed with didn’t mean much. Strength and function were all that mattered. How do you build that? With progressive loading exercises just like any rehabilitation program.

But not everyone moved forward… some pelvic floor clinics and practitioners as well as trainers, instructors and coaches continue to peddle outdated science and fear mongering and although it is fewer than before we still find ourselves blowing our patients minds when we tell them to stop protecting their abs as if they are some fragile sheath waiting to be ripped apart and start activating and strengthening them within the system of their core instead.

Find a practitioner that empowers you. If someone tells you to stop moving … run away. It’s never the answer. You aren’t that fragile.

Hastings Yoga introduced me to yoga and my Friday morning classes with almost 10 years ago was an integral part of my rehab from my childbirth related injury early on. Since then I have enjoyed many meditations and lunch time vinyasas and have incorporated yoga into my own workouts as well as into the home programs of my patients.

I am so happy to be able to host them in our studio weekday evenings so that they stay in our community.

Yoga and pelvic floor PT complement each other and we are excited for this collaboration and many more in the future.
