Pelvic floor dysfunction often goes unnoticed—yet the symptoms can impact everything from daily comfort to long-term pelvic health.

If you’ve experienced urinary leaking, heaviness in the pelvis, pain with in*******se, constipation, or persistent low-back or pelvic pain, your pelvic floor may be asking for attention.

These symptoms are common, but they are not something you need to live with. A well-functioning pelvic floor supports your bladder, bowel, s*xual health, and core stability. When it’s not working optimally, your body will start sending signals.

Key signs to look out for:
• Leaking with coughing, sneezing, or exercise
• Pain or discomfort with in*******se
• Pelvic pressure or heaviness
• Difficulty emptying the bladder or bowels
• Ongoing pelvic, hip, or low-back pain

Pelvic floor dysfunction is treatable, and individualized care can make a significant difference. If these signs feel familiar, reach out—we’re here to help you understand what’s going on and guide you toward lasting relief and support.

Struggling to sleep comfortably during pregnancy? You’re not alone. As your body changes, so do your sleep needs — and small adjustments can make a big difference. Here are a few evidence-based tips to support better rest:

• Favor left-side sleeping starting in the second trimester to optimize circulation and decrease pressure on major vessels.
• Use simple pillow support — one between the knees/ankles and one under the head is often more effective (and less bulky) than a full-body pregnancy pillow.
• Support your abdomen with a thin pillow or wedge as your bump grows to reduce strain on your back and hips.
• Place a pillow behind your back to limit rolling and ease shoulder or hip discomfort.
• Consider a mattress topper if you’re waking up stiff — a softer surface can protect pressure-sensitive joints.

Quality sleep is essential for both maternal well-being and fetal development. If pain or discomfort continues, a pelvic health evaluation can help identify what your body needs during each trimester.

This season, let’s talk about something that can feel a little “spooky” after giving birth — postpartum vaginal dryness.

After delivery, estrogen levels drop significantly. That decrease can lead to less natural lubrication, thinner vaginal tissue, and reduced blood flow — all of which can make intimacy uncomfortable or even painful.

In fact, research shows that up to 45% of postpartum women experience vaginal dryness, and more than half report pain with in*******se in the months that follow.

It’s not “just part of motherhood,” and it’s not something you need to silently endure.

Here’s what can help:
• Use a non-prescription vaginal moisturizer daily (such as Replens® or Luvena®).
• Apply a silicone- or water-based lubricant (like Uberlube®, Astroglide®, or BioNude®) before intimacy.
• If symptoms persist, your provider may recommend a topical estrogen cream to restore comfort and tissue health.

Remember — your body has been through incredible changes, and healing takes time. Pain isn’t something to “push through.” Addressing it early can help you return to intimacy with confidence, comfort, and connection.

You deserve to feel good in your body again. 💛

Post‐baby life can zap your energy and libido — but what you eat can totally flip the script. Think salmon for mood & circulation, berries for gut + vaginal health, avocados to support lubrication, almonds + pumpkin seeds for zinc & drive, yogurt for your inner microbiome.

Nutrition isn’t glamorous, but it’s the foundation of better s*x, better recovery, and better YOU. Let’s reclaim that spark

Pregnancy puts extra stress on your pelvic floor muscles — the “hammock” that supports your uterus, bladder, and re**um.

Starting a targeted strengthening program early on helps you:
• Improve muscle strength & coordination 🏋️‍♀️
• Reduce the risk of urinary incontinence or prolapse later
• Better prepare for labour and delivery — and rebound more confidently postpartum

If you’re pregnant (and have approval from your OBGYN), investing time in pelvic-floor “prehab” can make a real difference.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a time to highlight prevention, education, and empowerment. While breast cancer can affect anyone, women over 40 and those with a family history have a higher risk — making regular mammograms and self-exams essential.

Early detection saves lives, but overall wellness supports prevention and recovery.

Maintaining a balanced diet, managing stress, staying active, and seeking restorative therapies like physical therapy can all contribute to better health outcomes.

Are you currently trying to get pregnant? Or maybe thinking about having a baby in the near future?

Fertility can be affected by many different factors, such as hormones, menstrual cycles, stress, certain pelvic inflammatory conditions, and mechanical/ environmental factors.

Hormonal influences, low egg count, or pelvic conditions, such as endometriosis, can necessitate a visit with the fertility specialist.

How do you optimize your fertility and ability to conceive? Pay attention to the factors that you can easily control: diet, stress, weight, and the environment.

Babywearing keeps your little one close while giving you freedom to move — but it only works well when it’s done safely and comfortably.

Wearing your baby the right way helps protect your back and shoulders, supports your core as you recover postpartum, and keeps your baby snug and secure. 🧡

Think of it as more than convenience — it’s a way to bond, reduce stress, and make daily life a little smoother.

Small adjustments in how you wear your carrier can make a big difference in your comfort and your baby’s safety.

✨ Save this for later and share with a parent friend who babywears!

Sleep = self-care 😴 Growing a little one has its perks … and its challenges. Here’s to side-sleeping, extra pillows, and waking up feeling a little more like yourself.

New baby, new beginnings. Start with breathing, pelvic floor lifts, and deep core activation. Every tiny moment counts. 🌸

Pain during s*x isn’t uncommon—and it’s not in your head. From postpartum recovery and hormonal shifts to untreated pelvic conditions or past trauma, there are many reasons behind it.

Pelvic floor physical therapy can help you heal, restore comfort, and reclaim intimacy. 💪💕

Pelvic girdle pain (PGP) is one of those pregnancy things nobody warns you about—but so many moms experience it.

About 1 in 5 pregnancies are affected, and it can show up as aches in the front, back, hips, or even into the thighs and low back.

Everyday moves like stairs or rolling in bed can feel harder—but the good news is, PGP is temporary and often improves after birth.

Supportive care like PT, gentle movement, and belts can make a big difference.
