Today is World Menopause Day — a reminder that this chapter is not the end of strength, movement, or confidence.
Menopause can bring changes to your pelvic floor, bladder, and sexual health — but you don’t have to just ‘deal with it.’
Pelvic floor physical therapy can help you feel strong, supported, and in control again.
Let’s break the stigma and start the conversation. 💜

Struggling with nausea, feeling full quickly, or heart palpitations — but not getting real answers?
It could be more than just “indigestion.”

A hiatal hernia happens when part of your stomach pushes up through your diaphragm. It's surprisingly common — and often missed — because doctors usually treat the symptoms, not the root cause.

That’s where NeuroKinetic Therapy (NKT) comes in.

At Forged Functional Therapy, we use NKT to assess and correct the imbalances that may be causing or contributing to a hiatal hernia — like diaphragm dysfunction, overactive abdominal muscles, or poor core stability.

✅ Address the problem at its source
✅ Improve breathing, digestion, and posture
✅ Get real, lasting relief

Don’t settle for a band-aid fix. Let’s get to the root.

15 years of low back and leg pain — gone.
This client had tried everything: stretches, exercises, even rest. Nothing worked.
Until we used NeuroKinetic Therapy (NKT) to take a deeper look at what was really going on.

Through testing, we found two key dysfunctions:

1️⃣ A disconnect between the right and left sides of the lower back — their body wasn’t coordinating across the spine the way it should.
2️⃣ A broken connection between the lat and glute, which are meant to work as a team to stabilize and support movement.

Once we identified and corrected those faulty patterns, the results were immediate:
👉 Pain-free after 15 years.

That’s the power of finding the root cause instead of chasing symptoms.

If you’re dealing with pain that won’t go away, it’s time to stop guessing.
