What if you didn’t have to just wait to see if you had pelvic floor problems? What if you knew you could prevent them?

We love a good research update. A hot off the presses systematic review highlights that women who utilized pelvic floor muscle training in pregnancy were less likely to experience leakage.

But if you know us, you know that doesn’t mean just do some kegels.

Pelvic floor muscle training should include establishing full range of motion of the pelvic floor (can you contract it, relax it, bear down?), coordination of the core (does it do what we want it to when we brace? Cough? Belly breathe?), and then strength (not just locally at the pelvic floor, but globally as well).

Healthier pregnancies —> healthier outcomes. If we are exercising in pregnancy, in ways that reinforce pelvic floor strength AND ALSO ways that build up the resiliency of our system, small things that come up in daily life are less likely to push us past symptom thresholds.

You don’t have to wait for problems to come on before choosing to build coordination and strength, and building up your capacity for whatever life throws your way, even in pregnancy 💪

“Make yourself strong, not small”

Bracing can be a tough mechanic to figure out. Not everyone even really thinks about using their core in and out of the gym, much less what that means to do so.

For those of us who do, there is so much confusion on what it even means to do so. Do we push the belly out, like so many people have been told to with a weightlifting belt?

Or maybe we’ve been to PT before, or been told by a fitness professional or coach to “bring the belly button to the spine”.

Neither of these are ideal, but let’s specifically tackle “belly button to spine”

When we think about that cue, almost everyone will suck in. The belly will tuck up and under the ribs. And we effectively get “smaller”

This feels normal for so many of us, particularly women, because we spend so much of our lives trying to be smaller (whether in a physical sense or otherwise).

But when we do that, we aren’t using all the layers of our abs available to us. We aren’t functionally recruiting the muscles that will help us do hard things, like deadlift a barbell or carry screaming toddlers who don’t want to leave yet home from the park.

Instead, we want to create tension ACROSS the core. use ALL the layers available to us. Make ourselves STRONG, not SMALL.

You don’t need to take up less space, sis. You need to own the space you’re in💪

This weekend, the doctors of Disrupt honed some skills and sharpened some swords🗡️

Manual therapy is a key piece of what we use when we work with patients. It improves muscle firing, it communicates with the nervous system, and it just plain feels good. And if we can do something that makes someone feel better, and allows them to move their bodies and build strength and resiliency, or plug back in to their lives when they were worried it was going to sideline them, we are here for it.

This was the first course we took together, and it certainly won’t be the last. Learning together, sweating together, and getting better together. In the gym, in the clinic, and on the weekend too 💪

Also have to brag that Dr. Rachel officially earned her ICE Certified Specialist: Orthopedics title through this weekend. We strive to deliver the best possible care and stand out in our community as experts, and this certification highlights that

Who is ready for some cracking and clanging? 🏋️‍♀️

Why are we gatekeeping exercise?

Recently, I’ve had multiple clients say they want to return to a certain type of exercise, “if they’re allowed to,” looking to me for permission. One in particular was a mom hoping to get back to running. Both for fitness and mental health reasons, she missed her outlet, but she was worried that every time she ran, she was making her urinary urgency worse. She stopped running altogether. She had tried pelvic floor PT in the past and it didn’t really seem to work for her, mostly because they never talked about why she was there in the first place: TO RUN.

In her first session with me, we talked about some strategies to suppress urgency while running, went over a couple mobility exercises to focus on before her run, and I gave her back the autonomy to do the thing she loved and missed. During her most recent session, she told me she’d been able to go a continuous 5 miles with her sister. It was the southeast Texas heat and a cardiovascular system that was lagging behind, not the urge to p*e that held her back from more. If you’re looking for someone to give you the go ahead for really finding your limits and reaching new exercise related goals, you’re in the right place!

YES, send it, my friend! We’ll be cheering right along side you.

Dabbling in new activities (🏇), an office revamp because designing things is my #3 passion outside of physical therapy and teaching, and a lot of fitness, some with friends and some with my tiny sidekick💪

Bracing-the forgotten piece of good form

Any movement we do that crosses the midline (think squatting, overhead pressing, deadlifting, core work, loaded lunging) requires some degree of core activation.

But HOW? No one is ever really taught, and if we are-we are often taught wrong.

Pushing belly out creates an elongation of the abdominal wall, rather than creating tension across it. Pressure out will lead to equal and opposite pressure down (which can lead to pelvic floor dysfunction or issues with hernias). But aside from creating pelvic concerns, it’s a performance disadvantage.

When we brace, we want to think about utilizing all 4 layers of the core wall-obliques, transverse abs, AND re**us. Some of our favorite cues are “brace like someone is going to karate chop your belly”, or “pull your ribs to your pelvis and your pelvic bones together in the front”

Want to learn to brace well and add pounds to that bar? We got your back….er…front💪

Our greatest role as physical therapists is to remove barriers to exercise. People don’t need help finding reasons not to move. Everything about our life makes it hard to carve out the time. Work schedules. Cost of living and ability to pay for gyms. Family schedules. Feeling exhausted from constantly having to do’s. Pain. Pelvic floor issues. Misinformation that keeps people afraid of seeking out an active lifestyle. There is enough noise out there.

Our job is to empower people to find a way to move that feels good. It’s to help get rid of the pain so they can find the exercise routine they love. It’s educating them on what actually is okay during certain seasons of life (like pregnancy, postpartum, menopause, or after an injury-and spoiler alert it’s probably way more than you think). The last thing someone needs is an arbitrary timeline. The last thing they need is to be told they will worsen their problem by going to the gym. The last thing they need is a push towards rest and sedentary behaviors. We believe in empowering movement, and removing any barrier that holds you back from achieving that

My first day at Disrupt vs. now…
I started while Dr. Rachel was on maternity leave… just me, four pregnant and postpartum clients, and a single Thursday morning at our first office on Research Forest. I was only working one day a week and honestly wasn’t sure the commute would be worth it.

Spoiler alert: it was.

Now, I get to treat 12–18 clients a week across three locations. I lead prenatal classes, help parents prepare for labor and postpartum, and support people of all age: women in every life stage, men working through injuries, and even kids finding relief from toileting issues.

Since joining Disrupt, I’ve taken dry needling, pelvic health, and athlete-specific courses. I’ve earned a specialty certification. I’ve built a schedule that gives me more freedom to care for myself, so I can show up even better for my clients. And best of all…I’ve formed meaningful relationships with the people I treat, many of whom continue to return through different seasons of life.

I’m so grateful for what these last 2.5 years have held, and I am excited for what’s ahead.
Whether you’re navigating a new season, or just looking for someone to walk alongside you, we’re here for it.
