Did you know that the position of the tailbone can affect urinary urgency?

If the tailbone is flexed, it will shorten all of the pelvic floor muscles that attach onto it and create pressure on the pelvic organs (i.e. the bladder!!).

Clinicians… if your patients are reporting urinary urgency, don’t forget to look at the coccyx!

This kind of detailed, whole-body assessment is key to creating real, lasting change for your patients, and that’s exactly what we’ll be diving into in our upcoming course The Pelvic Floor & More: Treatment for Pelvic Pain, happening October 25–26 in Orange County.

💡 Lab-heavy, hands-on, and with a 3:1 student-to-instructor ratio, you’ll get one-on-one mentoring from master clinicians… not just another crowded lecture.

Spots are limited, so if you’re ready to take your treatment to the next level, this course is for you!

When methylation isn’t running smoothly, the right nutrients can make a big difference. Our go-to stack:

🌱 Methylated B + Folate (essential for MTHFR)
🐟 Fish Oil (anti-inflammatory support)
💤 Magnesium Glycinate (calm + muscle recovery)
⚡️ B6 + B12 (nerve + energy balance)
🌿 L-Theanine (nervous system support)
🧠 Lion’s Mane (brain + nerve health)

✨ Supporting MTHFR means supporting your energy, mood, hormones, detox, AND pelvic health.

Ever feel like your body is working against you?

👉You’re exhausted but can’t sleep.
👉You have sugar cravings and you keep gaining weight even when you barely eat
👉Your periods are all over the place, moods are swinging wildly… and yet you’re told “that’s just peri-menopause or part of menopause”

But deep down, you know it’s more than that.

One overlooked factor? The MTHFR gene mutation.

When this gene isn’t running smoothly, it can quietly throw off your:

∙ Hormones (estrogen piles up, thyroid slows down)
∙ Energy (poor methylation = low energy production)
∙ Detox pathways (toxins + hormones don’t clear the way they should)

And it doesn’t stop there.. it can ripple all the way into your pelvis!

✔️More pain sensitivity + slower healing
✔️Nerve irritation = heightened pelvic pain
✔️Hormone + detox overload → cycle changes, fertility struggles, pelvic congestion
✔️Immune flares that aggravate bladder, gut, or pelvic pain
✔️Weaker nutrient absorption → slower pelvic tissue repair

Your pelvic floor never works in isolation. If methylation is off, pelvic symptoms may be starting upstream.

Whole-body healing means looking beyond the pelvis… and that’s where the breakthroughs happen.

Hey pelvic healers! This needs to be on your radar whether you have “IC” or some other pelvic pain diagnosis.

If you missed our pelvic healing tree post, go back and check it out! You can’t treat the fruits without treating the roots.🌱🌳

Your bladder pain might just be the tip of the iceberg.

Interstitial Cystitis (IC) isn’t just about burning or urgency. If you have IC, you can also experience:

✔️Pelvic pressure or discomfort
✔️Pain during intimacy
✔️Frequent urination that disrupts daily life
✔️Lower back or hip pain
✔️Digestive or abdominal discomfort

IC affects everyone differently, and symptoms can be frustrating and confusing. Find yourself a good pelvic floor therapist who will help you understand the full picture of what your body is telling you.

If you need one, we are here for you! Send us a DM or reach out to us at:

When it comes to Interstitial Cystitis (IC), is the bladder the victim or is it the driver?

Contrary to popular belief, the root cause of IC is very often not stemming from the bladder itself. Rather, IC is often the RESULT of other things in the body that are influencing the bladder, causing it to be the victim. We are often putting on our detective hat in the clinic to figure out the true root cause of each individual patient’s presentation.

Thankfully, many providers have done research on this condition to create subtypes surrounding the various possible causes of IC. In 2015, Dr. Christopher Payne created a clear treatment outline for IC that outlines 5 subtypes of this diagnosis.

In our practice, we have found that many of our patients have the third phenotype - Myofascial Pain Syndrome. These patients tend to have history of childbirth trauma, repeat UTIs, and other pelvic floor dysfunction. The most common treatment for this type of IC is pelvic floor physical therapy.

With that being said, if you are experiencing these symptoms, book a free 15-minute discovery call with one of our physical therapists at (714) 770-8222.💜

You can’t treat the fruits without treating the roots.

When it comes to pelvic pain, what you see on the surface (the leaves) is only part of the story.

Beneath the surface are the branches and trunk: the diagnoses that give a name to the pain but still don’t explain why it’s happening.

To truly heal, we have to look even deeper… down to the roots. Things like past trauma, nervous system dysregulation, gut health, hormones, and old injuries can all play a role.

This Pain Awareness Month, let this be your reminder: there is hope and healing when we stop chasing symptoms and start addressing the causes.💜

Front of the hip hurting? It might be your nerves.
⁣
Not all anterior hip pain is from muscles or joints. Sometimes, it’s nerve-related and often overlooked. Here are a few key players:⁣
⁣
🧠 Genitofemoral nerve – sharp or aching pain in the groin, inner thigh, or testicle/labia.⁣
🧠 Ilioinguinal nerve – pain or tingling along the groin crease, often after surgery or injury.⁣
🧠 Iliohypogastric nerve – discomfort near the lower belly or side of the hip.⁣
🧠 Femoral nerve – pain or weakness in the front of the thigh.⁣
🧠 Perineal nerve – sitting pain that wraps to the front of the pelvis.⁣
⁣
If your hip pain isn’t improving with stretching or strengthening, it might be time to look deeper. Nerves matter!
