Beyond Basics Physical Therapy

Beyond Basics Physical Therapy Our highly specialized experts provide 1:1 individualized care to patients. Not Medical Advice.

Individualized + Integrated care for every body:

* pelvic pain + dysfunction
* orthopedic conditions
* post-surgical rehab
* sexual pain + dysfunction
* pregnancy + postpartum support
* pediatric care
* lymphedema
* bowel + bladder dysfunction

Our individualized approach allows us to provide full attention to your needs as a whole. Our experts will spend the time pinpointing the root of your issue and treat it comprehensively. This type of care means our patients start feeling better sooner, and in fewer sessions than they would if treated at a traditional PT facility.

Living with complex pelvic pain can feel confusing, isolating, and exhausting 😮‍💨 Too often, people are told their tests look “normal” while their symptoms are anything but. That’s why we’re hosting a free live virtual panel bringing together expert clinicians across pelvic floor physical therapy, pain medicine, psychology, and rehabilitation to talk honestly about what complex pelvic pain really is and why it’s so often misunderstood.

This conversation is for:
🔸People living with pelvic pain
🔸Partners, loved ones, and caregivers
🔸Clinicians and wellness professionals who want a more integrated lens

We’ll be discussing how muscles, nerves, bladder, bowel, spine, hormones, and the nervous system can overlap, why progress can stall in fragmented care, and what coordinated, whole-person treatment can actually look like in real life.

No minimizing. No oversimplifying. Just thoughtful, validating conversation from clinicians who do this work every day.

🗓 Wednesday, March 11
⏰ 7–9 PM EDT
💻 Free virtual event

Hot take 🔥 S*x should not hurt.

Being able to control depth, angle, and support can completely change how s*x feels. Comfort is not boring. It is necessary. Your body gets a say. Always 🤍

Let’s talk about butt pain. Yes, really 🍑

If sitting, wiping, or just existing feels uncomfortable back there, your body is trying to tell you something. And no, it is not “just in your head” or something you have to live with. Sometimes the most awkward symptoms are the ones worth paying attention to.

The cervix is often overlooked until something feels off. But it plays an active role in how your body protects itself, adapts, and communicates 🤍

It changes over time, responds to hormonal shifts, and works closely with the pelvic floor and nervous system. Sensation and pain in this area are real and deserve attention.

Understanding what is typical, what is not, and when support can help is part of caring for your whole pelvic health.

Pelvic pain is never just one system 🧠🦴✨ It sits at the intersection of movement, nervous system regulation, pain science, hormones, and lived experience. And real progress often comes from curiosity, collaboration, and listening more closely.

In this episode, Dr. Amy Stein shares how pelvic health physical therapy has evolved over the last two decades and why individualized, whole-body care matters in complex pelvic pain, endometriosis, postpartum recovery, and beyond 🔍🤍

If you care about innovation, thoughtful rehab, and meeting patients where they are, this conversation is for you 💬

January is a good time to slow things down 💛 If your pelvic floor feels tight, guarded, or overstimulated, strength is not always the answer. Sometimes your body needs permission to soften.

Here are 6 gentle ways to relax the pelvic floor and support your nervous system

1️⃣Deep belly breathing with humming: The vibration from humming can help cue relaxation and reduce tension
2️⃣Warm bath: Heat encourages muscles to let go and supports overall calm
3️⃣Pelvic floor drop: A gentle release rather than a squeeze. Yes, it is the opposite of a Kegel
4️⃣Gentle hip circles: Supports mobility and helps ease tension around the pelvis
5️⃣Legs up the wall: A restorative position that supports circulation and relaxation
6️⃣Jaw and neck massage: Tension in the jaw and neck is often connected to tension in the pelvic floor

Your pelvic floor needs both strength and relaxation. Which one feels most supportive today? 👇
