✨Meet Therese✨

We are so fortunate to have Therese joining the Paradigm team starting next week! Therese will be the first friendly face you see when you walk through the door on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
From the first time you call the office to schedule, until you leave the office after your final visit, Therese will be there to ensure things run smoothly for the duration of your plan of care.

Therese's previous experiences working in similar pelvic health settings make her the perfect addition to our team.

While there are no guarantees what your birthing experience may look like, a certain level of preparedness is associated with less reported fear, lower risk of high degree perineal tears, less utilization of pain interventions, and lower risk of unplanned cesarean sections.
Looking for guidance, or know someone who is?
EmpowHERed Birth was created with you in mind.

Due to recent flooding along the Potomac River, Potomac Park, where we typically meet, is completely under water. Even if it recedes by tomorrow, I'm concerned about the tow path potentially being a boggy mess.
Tomorrow, we will instead plan to meet at the main parking lot at Veteran's Park in Smithsburg, MD.
It has a great walking path that's over a mile long (We will plan on 2 laps!), and also has my personal favorite playground for littles in the county.

Can't wait to see everyone there!

✨Postural Changes of Pregnancy✨

Many providers want to blame the hormone Relaxin for all of the aches and pains that women deal with during pregnancy. Did you know that this hormone actually peaks at around 12-14 weeks?

So, when that pesky pelvic girdle pain (SI joint or p***c symphysis) starts up later than 12-14 weeks, seemingly out of nowhere, why are we blaming Relaxin?

The truth is, it's so much more complicated than that. As your uterus and baby grow, there are lots of biomechanical and postural changes that take place, putting increased and different stresses and strains on muscles, ligaments, and other connective tissues.

Why do we bring this up?

Often, when women bring up their aches and pains during pregnancy, they're met with, "Well, your ligaments are super stretchy right now, it'll get better after the baby is born."
In reality, there are so many things we can do as pelvic floor physical therapists to help you combat these aches and pains by optimizing your spine, hip, and rib cage mobility early, keeping you strong, and educating you on ways to move your body to reduce the stresses and strains that drive pain.

Suffering through your pregnancy doesn't have to be a rite of passage. Give us a call today at 240-267-2924, and see how we can help!
