What’s the hidden secret to ending your hip pain?

Understanding anatomy!!!! 🤓
The hips are much more than just your glutes - they’re deeply connected to the pelvis and pelvic floor. That’s why it’s important to zoom out and look at the hips from all angles in order to address pain, mobility, and strength ⭐️

➡️ Want to learn more hidden secrets on how to resolve your hip pain? Join me on Sunday 4/27 from 3-5pm for a Happy Hips Yoga Therapy workshop to resolve your hip discomfort through yoga & PT exercises, guided relaxation, and breathwork.

How much do you know about women’s health? 🤔
March is a month for women 💁🏼‍♀️💃 let’s celebrate women by understanding more about women’s health!

✨It wasn’t until my last clinical training in physical therapy school that I finally learned about the importance of pelvic health for women. And I was so shocked at how little I knew!! 😮 When we take the time to normalize and understand female anatomy and cyclical changes, women have a better chance at getting the medical and wellness support they deserve✨

So here are the top 3 most important women’s health facts drawn from my clinical experience and studies in both physical therapy & yoga therapy I believe everyone should know. Enjoy! 😍

Happy 🩷🩷

I remember when I first saw a pregnancy anatomy photo when studying physical therapy - it truly amazed me how a woman’s body can transform and change in such a short period of time!!

Did you know?
🤰During pregnancy the core and pelvic floor muscles stretch and expand to be able to withstand the pressures and forces put on them by a growing baby🤰A pregnant women’s blood volume almost doubles during pregnancy
🤰Issues like urinary incontinence and pelvic pain during pregnancy are common but not normal

With so many significant changes happening during pregnancy it’s important to take care of your body 🫶🏻 PT and yoga therapy can help ⭐️

Enjoying a moment to pause 😌 a pause from doing more, buying more, producing more, being more.

🙏🏻Pausing is the first step towards gratitude. And gratitude is a big step towards the yogic practice of Santosha/contentment, being ok with this moment exactly as it is right now.🙏🏻

Sending a big Happy Thanksgiving to everyone celebrating! 🍂 I hope you find a moment to pause amongst the busyness this week.
