“Key in door” urgency and incontinence…

is the phenomenon of suddenly needing to empty your bladder upon arriving home

if your runway time to make it to the bathroom is getting shorter, you can get ahead of it before it becomes more problematic (large leaks)

Pelvic PT is the solve! (and yes, you can use our bathroom to empty your bladder before visits!)

Endometriosis

- 1 in 10 individuals with a uterus of reproductive age lives with this condition (likely more prevalent due to it being under-diagnosed)

- is most commonly diagnosed in women in their 30s and 40s, but is present during the reproductive years

- can be a primary cause of infertility

- is often a delayed diagnosis, which prolongs suffering

- excision surgery is the current intervention, coupled with hormone management

- pelvic floor dysfunction is present and feeds into the pain cycle

- pelvic health physical therapy is an essential treatment adjunct to surgery and for all those seeking a nonsurgical option

- pain management should include medications to reduce suffering and tension (injections can help the pelvic floor and nerves calm down)

- surgery addresses the lesions but not the dysfunction. Get a team to help you navigate your recovery.

Fascia, our full body connective network…

It helps transmit force across the body, supports organs, contains nerve fibers helping the body register pain and feel movement, and allows muscles to glide properly.

Headache? Back ache? Stiff joints? Endometriosis? C-section scar? Pregnant? All will impact your fascia and physical therapy can help.

Find time for movement during these cold and busy days. A simple side bend with a few deep breaths can ward off muscle tension and improve your performance.

Feel your ribs expand on your inhale, move that diaphragm!

Traveling this holiday season?
Here’s some things to remember if you’re experiencing pain or pelvic floor issues:

- stay hydrated (drink extra water and even more when consuming alcohol)

- keep moving (you’ll be seated on your flight, avoid sitting in the terminal before boarding)

- minimize your stress response (expect delays and use deep breathing techniques to keep calm and relax tight muscles)

- plan your movement (get in time to exercise and do your PT routine, you’ll feel better!)

- listen to your body’s cues to empty your bladder and bowels (even if on a plane). Delaying can lead to constipation and difficulty emptying.

- Lastly, enjoy your time with loved ones! 💗

Are you gripping your glutes right now?! STOP!

We often hear patients say they can’t feel their glutes with exercise, excessive gripping could be why. Not to mention, this tightens your pelvic floor (and not in a good way) and loads your lower back.

This tucked posture will often come up postpartum, especially when carrying or wearing your baby. It’s also a common compensation during hip hinge exercises (RDLs, bridges, squats). Avoid leaning back and picture sending your SIT bones back as you hinge down. Press through your heels and return upright, firing the glutes. This will also keep your pelvic floor moving in a healthy way, both eccentricity and concentrically loading the muscles.

It’s ok to tuck your pelvis with some exercises, especially in barre or with some pilates movements, but you should be training your body in hip hinges as well! (Your pelvic floor, glutes, and lumbar spine will thank you!)

The rib cage…

Often an overlooked connection when addressing pelvic floor dysfunction, back pain and neck pain. It’s where your diaphragm anchors, links to your thoracic spine and is an integral part of controlling intra-abdominal pressure. It’s also the location of our solar plexus, associated with self-confidence and personal power. The ribs are greatly affected by pregnancy and require specific focus when restoring core strength.

As we celebrate our sixth anniversary, we’re filled with immense gratitude for all of our patients, referrals and cheerleaders along the way! We love helping our neighbors and bumping into you in the gym, dog park, kiddie parks and piers of BBP, and in DUMBO’s local spots! (esp in our building lobby) 💗

Thank you for choosing us when it comes to your health! Helping our neighbors get back to the things that bring them joy is our absolute pleasure! Opening this practice 5 months before the pandemic was interesting timing, but our amazing patients and their strong word of mouth kept us going! 💗

Thank you to the wonderful women who helped us get going and gave us the courage do it! You’re the best and 💗

We’re excited for the future! Get ready for some running content with 🏃🏽‍♀️

Puppy pose is a great way to relax your pelvic floor!

Start on all fours and walk hands out to lower your chest and head to the mat. Keep your hips stacked over knees, with knees, hips and feet in the same line.

Use your inhale to fill your ribs. Widen your feet another inch and take another inhale as you imagine your SITS bones widening. Continue for 10 breaths.

LOW BACK PAIN

80-90% of individuals experience it at some point in their life. It can be incredibly challenging when it doesn’t dissipate quickly.

Here’s some tips:
✔️ keep moving, but avoid painful activity
✔️check you stress and your self talk (your back isn’t weak, it’s resilient!)
✔️prioritize your sleep and diet
✔️use your core when initiating movement (your deep core is literally an internal back brace)
✔️get in to see your local PT, we can get to the root cause and get you back to movement (and assess your pelvic floor as a factor!)

Pelvic floor and foot connection?

We often see this oversimplified on social media:
“Are you leaking? Check your feet!”

The answer isn’t simply to stretch your feet or roll a golf ball on your arch. Our bodies synchronize to optimize movements, with muscles co-contracting to promote stability and power.

If your foot is stiff it can affect the way you absorb load, push off your big toe, rotate your femur, and track your knee. This affects the ability of your pelvic floor to lengthen and shorten.

We use our orthopedic expertise to determine how this impacts your pelvic floor function and develop a plan specific to your body.

This is why pelvic floor PT is orthopedic PT! 🙌
