✨ Did you know your pelvic floor might not be the only thing holding tension? ✨

Sometimes the secret to better pelvic floor function isn’t just in the pelvis.
It can be in your spine, hips, ribs, or even your feet! 👣

In pelvic floor physical therapy, we often use gentle joint mobilizations or manipulations outside the pelvis to restore healthy movement patterns. When your body moves well as a whole, your pelvic floor can finally relax, coordinate, and support you the way it’s meant to. 💪🏽💫

✅ Easier core activation
✅ Less pelvic pain or pressure
✅ Improved bladder and bowel control
✅ Better posture and breath connection

Everything in the body is connected — freeing one area often brings relief to another.

So if you’ve been working on your pelvic floor but progress feels “stuck,” it might be time to look beyond the pelvis. 🌿

TMJ DRY NEEDLING

At The Fem PT we pride ourselves in providing holistic care for the entire body! Tension in the TMJ can create pain, popping in the jaw, and can be related to tension in the pelvis!

This was a comfortable treatment and not only did I feel a release happen in my TMJ muscles but I also felt my sinuses open!

Pair this treatment with manual therapy to the neck and you are headed in the right direction for improved comfort in this area!

🫶🏻WELCOME JOY KNAPTON, IBCLC🫶🏻

We are SO thrilled to welcome Joy Knapton to our team at The Fem PT. She brings expertise and many years of experience and is already well known in our Lynchburg community. You can now book with her online at thefempt.com !

Get to know Joy:

Joy Knapton is a dedicated mother of four beautiful children, ranging in age from 5 to 21 years old. With a heart full of compassion and a passion for supporting families, she has spent many years working as a labor coach, doula, resource mom, lactation counselor, and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). Her work has always centered around nurturing mothers and babies, especially during the transformative journey of breastfeeding.

Joy has her Bachelors of Science in Health Promotions 2003 and became a CLC in 2012 and IBCLC in 2016, and over the years, she has cultivated a wealth of knowledge and experience in various settings—home visits, office consultations, in-patient care, and solo practice. She has also led breastfeeding support groups, guiding families through common challenges such as latching, positioning, and feeding multiples.

In addition to her expertise in lactation, Joy offers support with a range of other topics including baby-wearing, mental wellness with breastfeeding, introducing solids, bottle feeding, pumping, and weaning. She is also skilled in helping mothers navigate the tricky transition back to work while maintaining breastfeeding.

Joy’s passion for lactation began when she recognized a gap in breastfeeding support while working as a home visitor in a maternal health program. Her fascination with the impact of early breastfeeding experiences grew as she moved through various roles in women’s health, from labor coaching to working as a family resources specialist. Each family she works with inspires her, and she considers it an honor to be part of their breastfeeding journey.

Living in Lynchburg, VA with her four kids, husband, and dog, Joy’s life is full, vibrant, and beautiful, just like the families she supports.
