⁣
But in reality, the pelvic floor is the base of your spine — and when it’s not functioning well, the back has to compensate.⁣
⁣
When the pelvic floor is:⁣
⁣
Too tight → it limits mobility, affects load transfer, and constant tension can drive neural sensitization. ⁣
⁣
Too weak → it can’t stabilize the pelvis, leaving the back muscles to pick up the slack.⁣
⁣
Out of sync → the whole system (hips, diaphragm, spine) loses coordination, which shows up as pain or stiffness.⁣
⁣
That’s why many people keep stretching or strengthening their back, but the pain returns. They’re treating the symptom, not the root cause⁣.
⁣
💡 Pelvic floor therapy looks deeper:⁣
⁣
We assess how your core, hips, and pelvic floor share the load.⁣
⁣
We retrain your body so the back isn’t overcompensating.⁣
⁣
We build strength + mobility that actually lasts while leaning into an education first model so that you know exactly why you’ve been having back pain and you know what to do to fix it long-term. ⁣
⁣
So if you’ve had “mystery” back pain that doesn’t get better with traditional PT, chiropractic, or adjustments… it may be time to check in with a provider who doesn’t chase symptoms.⁣
⁣
✨ Your back pain might not just be a back problem — it could be a pelvic floor problem.

✨Postpartum health isn’t just about physical recovery - it’s about mental wellness, too.⁣
⁣
A new 2025 study by Deprato et al. shows that postpartum exercise 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲𝘀 symptoms of depression and boosts 𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘺 and 𝘲𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦. ⁣
⁣
A combination of 𝗮𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗰 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲-𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 - for example, walking plus light strength training - is effective for improving postpartum mental health. The key is consistency as reaching ~ 𝟴𝟬 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸 can make a meaningful difference in how new moms feel 💚. ⁣
⁣
Leaking, heaviness, pelvic pain, or core instability can make even simple workouts feel impossible - which doesn’t just affect the pelvic floor, but the entire body’s ability to move and recover.
⁣
At Renew Health, we help remove those barriers with pelvic floor evaluations, targeted treatment, and safe return-to-exercise programming. ⁣
⁣
Because caring for your 𝘱𝘦𝘭𝘷𝘪𝘤 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩 is also caring for your 𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩 💪🏽🧠. ⁣

⁣
At Renew Health, we take the time to figure out 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘥𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 your pain. When you know what’s happening in your body, you gain the tools and confidence to finally break free from the cycle of flare-ups and setbacks.⁣

Quick update - Our office will close early this Thursday and remain closed through Monday, September 1st. We’ll be back in the clinic on Tuesday! 🫶🏽

During COVID, we questioned everything.

Our jobs. Our relationships. Even what happiness looked like.

We were burned out and broken down…but also ready for a change.

So we quit.

We built a practice that actually reflects our values -

And we built a business that gives other pelvic floor therapists the mentorship we wish we had -

This isn’t just our career. It’s our calling.

And we are so glad you’re here.

✨If stretching and rest were enough…you wouldn’t still be in pain (and you wouldn’t still feel “tight” 5 years later). ✨

Pain (or even tightness) that lingers is usually a sign your body need more than just time off and a few stretches.

The truth?
✅ Stretching alone is rarely a solution to any pain problem.
✅ You can not stretch your way out of a loading problem.
✅ You can not stretch your way out of a nervous system problem.

If your neck feels tighter after therapy, this might be why…

Most people are told to do chin tucks lying down - which often just overuses the traps, adds more load to the spine, and does little to retrain the right muscles (in this case, the deep neck flexors).

Here’s a better, seated alternative that keeps your neck away from a heavily loaded position, actually targets the deep neck flexor muscles, and builds strength - without the strain.

If you aren’t getting this type of education in therapy…you’re missing out. Keep following along for more tips!

Neck pain that just won’t quit? 😬 the problem might not be your neck at all - it could be coming from your thoracic spine (mid-back).

When your mid-back can’t extend or rotate well, your neck is forced to pick up the slack - often leading to:

⚡️ increased muscle tension
⚡️ joint irritation
⚡️ even nerve sensitivity

So if you’ve been hammering away at neck stretches without relief, it’s time to look lower 👀

🚫 Why “Down & Back” Might Be Wrecking Your Shoulders & Neck

We’ve all heard it… “Pull your shoulder blades down and back.”
And while it sounds like good posture advice, here’s the problem 👇

When you lock your shoulder blades down and back all the time:
⚠️ You keep the upper back and shoulder stabilizers in a shortened position, NOT ideal for strengthening

⚠️ You limit your shoulder’s ability to move naturally overhead

⚠️ You often increase tension in the neck, especially if you’re already load-sensitive in the cervical spine by kicking on those traps

Your shoulders were designed to MOVE — glide up, down, forward, back — depending on the task.

🔑 The real goal isn’t to “pin” them in place… it’s to teach them to move well and with strength through their full range.

💡 If you’ve been stuck in “down & back” mode, it might be time to rethink your posture and lifting cues.

📌 Follow for more movement tips that protect your neck, improve strength, and keep you moving freely.

📱 Neck + Shoulder Relief Tip

The next time you’re reading or scrolling, try this:
👉 Stack a few pillows to prop your arms up.
Why? It reduces load through your spine and keeps your upper traps from working overtime.

Here’s the truth:

❌ Sexy “fix your neck pain in 3 moves” videos won’t get you lasting relief.

✅ Figuring out the root cause, modifying your daily habits, and having a tailored plan WILL.

You don’t need more random exercises.
You need a strategy.
And you need to take action.

💬 Drop a “PLAN” in the comments if you’re ready to stop chasing quick fixes and start feeling good for real.

For someone with cervical spine load sensitivity or neural sensitivity, common stretches like upper trap/levator scap pulls or aggressive chin tucks may actually prolong systems instead of relieving them.

The problem - these muscles often feel “tight” because they’re guarding due to irritation in the cervical spine or nerve roots.

Chin tucks can create increase shearing especially if performed inappropriately or in a loaded position.

⚠️ Just trying to “stretch symptoms” away doesn’t address the root cause and can make the nervous system feel even more threatened, leading to that pain cycle.

Continue to follow along for BETTER technique with chin tucks and deep neck flexor strengthening.
