Bear with me for a second — I know a torn ACL and pelvic pain are not the same thing. But the recommendation structure is identical: take ibuprofen or see an orthopedic surgeon. As if those are equivalent options. One is something you do at home. One is a specialist who figures out what’s actually wrong.

That’s exactly what’s happening when a provider says “try kegels OR do pelvic floor therapy” in the same breath.

Here’s what matters: pain with in*******se is most often caused by a pelvic floor that is overactive — not weak. When the muscles are already holding tension, more contraction can make symptoms worse.

Pelvic floor PT begins with a real evaluation — assessing muscle tone, tissue quality, coordination, and contributing factors from the hips and spine — before any treatment begins.

If you’ve been doing kegels and not improving, you’re not failing. You just need a different starting point. And that’s fixable.

She came in with lower back pain and left knowing exactly how to train smarter with her hypermobile body. 🙌🏼

No “stop going to the gym.” No generic rest protocol. Just real answers and the tools to keep showing up for herself long-term.

At Renew Health, we believe the goal is never to pull you out of the gym. Sometimes we make short-term modifications to create the space your body needs to heal.

But the bigger win?

Teaching you how to progress back to your full routine and giving you the self-awareness to know when and how to adjust on your own.

That’s what this work actually looks like.

Drop a 🔥 if you’ve ever been told to just “rest and stop lifting” and it didn’t sit right with you.

Hip internal rotation is one of the most overlooked pieces of pelvic floor function 👀

Your hips and pelvic floor don’t work in isolation — they share muscles, fascia, pressure systems, and movement strategies.

When the hips lose internal rotation, the body often compensates through the low back, pelvis, or pelvic floor itself.

That can show up as:
• Pelvic tension
• Leakage with impact
• Hip pinching
• SI joint discomfort
• Difficulty generating power or absorbing force

Good pelvic floor rehab isn’t just “Kegels.”

It’s restoring the ability of the entire system to move, rotate, load, and breathe well together 🔄

Sometimes improving pelvic floor symptoms starts with giving the hips back the motion they were missing.

If you’ve “tried everything” for symptoms like urinary urgency, frequency, leaking, constipation, pelvic pain, painful intimacy or pressure/heaviness… but you’ve NEVER done pelvic floor physical therapy…

Then there’s a very good chance you were never given the exact treatment your body actually needed in the first place.

I’m currently working with a client who spent an entire YEAR dealing with constipation and right lower abdominal/pelvic pain.

She saw doctors.
She had scans. It’s important to rule out red flags.
She was told everything “looked fine.”
And eventually she was left with no real answers.

Until one day a friend asked her:
“Have you ever tried pelvic floor therapy?”

She had never even heard of it.

She called our office for an evaluation, and within 4 visits:
✔️ She was pooping every single day
✔️ Her pain was completely gone
✔️ Her symptoms stopped running her life

And now we’re continuing to support her so those symptoms stay gone.

A whole year of struggling… improved in ONE month.

Your symptoms are not “all in your head” just because imaging was normal.
Muscles, nerves, coordination, pressure management, bowel habits, breathing patterns, scar tissue, tension, and pelvic floor dysfunction often do NOT show up on standard scans.

You deserve more than being told:
“Everything looks normal.”

There are answers.
And there are treatments specifically designed for this.

Pelvic floor therapy changes lives every single day — and more people deserve to know it exists.

If your low back is sore after glute work this is could be why.

When the glutes aren’t doing their job during hip extension, the lumbar spine picks up the slack. Instead of the femur moving on the pelvis, the pelvis tips forward and the low back extends.

It looks like hip extension. But it’s not. It’s lumbar compensation and over time it loads the wrong structures, contributes to back pain, and means your glutes are getting a fraction of the stimulus you think they are.

We see this constantly - in deadlifts, in kickbacks, in glute bridges, in banded work.

What we want instead:
✅ Femur driving back behind the pelvis
✅ Pelvis staying neutral, not anteriorly tilting into the movement
✅ Glute reaching full contraction without the low back having to move at all

Less range. More control. Actually loading the glute.

If you’ve been dealing with low back pain that shows up during or after lower body training this pattern is worth looking at. It’s one of the first things we assess at Renew Health because it shows up in almost everyone.

Save this for your next glute session. 👇

And if your back has been talking to you during workouts and you’re not sure why — send us a DM. That’s exactly what we’re here for.

This weekend, folks not only learned the ins and outs of the pelvic floor, but also how it relates to low back pain, SI joint pain, tailbone pain, sciatic pain and hip pain.

This is what we see DAILY in our practice.

Our goal is to provide hope and help for folks who have tried everything else, but didn’t get the results they had hoped for.

This is exactly what we specialize in at Renew Health.

If you have questions and simply want to hop on a call with one of our providers to chat through how our process is different than others in the area, use the link in bio to connect. 🤍

Pelvic floors and PRs. Turns out they’re not mutually exclusive.

Grateful for every person who came ready to learn, asked questions, and was ready to stop accepting leaking as “just part of life.”

It’s not. And you don’t have to stop exercising.

Thankful for for hanging out with us on a Saturday morning!

Listen to your body is not medical guidance.

Unfortunately, most providers don’t have the time to educate and provide patients with next steps or clarity. Women have been on the receiving end of that gap for too long.

You can’t listen to a body you’ve never been in.

Pregnancy and postpartum aren’t just physical changes, they’re completely foreign experiences with no baseline and no reference point. There is no “talk” when it comes to perimenopause and menopause.

And then we wonder why so many women normalize things that were never normal to begin with.

Leakage isn’t inevitable.
Pain is not something you “deal with”.
Pressure is not something to push through and ignore.

These are clinical findings. They have names. They have causes. And they have solutions.

The problem was never your body.

It was that nobody ever taught you what to expect or what to do when something felt wrong.

You deserved better than ‘just listen.’ You still do.

And we are FOREVER grateful to the providers who advocate for their patients, for the providers who listen, and for the providers who figure out the next step!

It’s a collaborative effort 🫶🏽 and our patients deserve the absolute best team!

It’s never just the pelvic floor.

What you’re seeing here is a full-system conversation—foot pressure, knee alignment, hip control, rib cage, breath… all feeding into how the pelvic floor responds.

Because the pelvic floor doesn’t act in isolation.
It reflexively adapts to what the rest of the body is doing.

So instead of cueing “engage your pelvic floor,” we build positions and patterns that let it do its job automatically.

This is how you get strength that actually transfers—without over-gripping, compensating, or burning out the system.
