39 weeks today 💜

Now that it's finally not too:
~ hot
~ rainy
~ smokey

I can finally be the outdoorsy fit Prego I thought I would be all summer 😅🤦🏼‍♀️

Lil Nug has officially dropped, so the real waiting game has begun 🫣 I'm not over analyzing every single sensation, are you?!

As I have classically been terrible with social posts, I am not likely to be posting any super great content in the next few months while I figure out motherhood and the accompanying exhaustion. But, I will likely start picking up 1:1 clients again before the end of the year. Feel free to DM or email me with any concerns!

What is dry needling, and how can it help you?!

Dry needling uses a verrrrryyy thin needle that reaches the muscle belly (goes deeper than acupuncture) and hooks up to some gentle electrical stimulation to help address muscular dysfunction. So, it can take a wimpy and lazy muscle (i.e. flat glutes after pregnancy) to help wake them up and get better activation, and it can take overactive/tight/painful muscles and get them to relax (helloooo guarding muscles after surgery/childbirth/life stress). Basically needling can act like Ctrl+Alt+Delete for your muscles to reset. Additionally, it has wonderful effects by chatting with the nerves at a better proximity, calming down pain channels.

GLPR is now offering dry needling, which can be included as part of your regular visit package, or can exist on its own (once you have been evaluated and deemed that this would be a helpful intervention).

I am still acting as a mobile practice until maternity leave, meaning I come to you! Enjoy the convenience of tight muscle relaxation in your own home. Reach out today for more info.

Most people are nervous to come in for pelvic floor physical therapy, and a lot of it is related to the unknown. My approach is aimed at improving comfort discussing uncomfortable topics, and using strategies that are effective time and again to improve bowel, bladder and sexual dysfunction.

This spring, if you feel like you are wetting more than your garden, it may be time to give your pelvic floor a tune-up!

I am a pelvic health physical therapist who works one-on-one with clients to improve their pelvic floor range of motion, strength, core stability, and more! So whether you are having pain with intimacy🍆, want to have delightful bowel movements again💩, or want to prevent leakage💦, I'm your gal!

I am currently driving to homes in the greater Lansing area, and starting May 1, will have office space at the Rooted Collective in East Lansing. Little ones are invited to come if you get stuck on childcare ☺️

That's right! I and my boxes of gloves and l**e are back in Lansing to settle! I will still be a mobile practice, seeing people in their homes, but am currently working out a room rental for an in-office set-up 🤙🏼

Leaking when you sneeze? Having pain with intimacy? Want to improve your bowel movements? Send me a DM or email me at alainavincedpt@gmail.com !

Hey friends! I made another online program! This mini program is aimed at helping people address their hip pain. This may be from repetitive microtraumas like running, weakness or chronic pain like with joint hypermobility, and/or from hip impingement or labral tears.

Some of you may remember my hip injury from several years ago... This program has some of the same rehab techniques I used myself, but ramped up since I have taken a few extra courses. This knowledge helped me prevent another big hip injury from occurring last year when I was training for the marathon.

So if you know anyone that is having hip pain and wants to DIY it, share this link. And if anyone needs any one-on-one treatment, I am always available for virtual visits 🙂

Start this mini course today to decrease hip pain, address muscular imbalances, and improve strength.
