I have heard this a lot this week. Clients telling me they thought their situation was hopeless.

They succumbed to living in pain every day for years. Managing it with chiro or PT or massage but no resolution or even lasting diminishing of pain.

They have read about how others have given way to a “new normal” whether it’s because someone told them that that was the best they could expect or because they themselves thought pain and diminished quality of life is expected in their situation.

I’m here to tell you that interventions that do not reduce your pain and or improve your ability to do the things you enjoy are purely Band-Aids addressing symptoms and they’re not addressing root cause solutions.

If you think you are not worth the effort, whoever will?

Don’t let the common misperception that pain and dysfunction is a normal state of being.

With Shore Country Day School – I just got recognized as one of their top fans! 🎉

Ok, so this IS a silly badge on paper- if you know me I am not a social media fan. But, truthfully I will ALWAYS be a fan of Shore. I could not be more amazed by how my girls have become critical thinkers from the education they have received at Shore Country Day School. They have been taught to be out of the box thinkers, analyzers and idea generators. I am grateful.

Breath holding during exercise is a very real strategy that many people employ when exercising and when doing daily life.

Most of my clients struggle with pelvic floor dysfunction or back pain and breath holding when exercising, lifting or even just getting up from a chair can strain the pelvic floor.

Learning to manage pressure effectively makes activities of daily life pelvic floor and core exercises!

A client asked this today because she is getting inundated with conflicting recommendations.

It is hard to know what is right and it’s also hard to have carryover of recommendations across age ranges, physical wellness levels and more!

many years ago, I was covering in a nursing home and the doc learned I did pelvic PT. He sent me to a woman who was totally in content to do pelvic floor PT. She peed every time she stood up. She did not need PFPT she needed general strength.

A client came postpartum with a tight pelvic floor. We worked to relax it but that took connecting with her pelvic floor and feeling the difference in relaxing vs. gripping. Then we needed to integrate that into functional strength.

When I I injured my knee and got back to running I leaked. I needed more hip strength and control with impact.

Different solutions for different root causes!

Too many women make light of a little leak here and there.

they don’t realize that this is setting them up for trajectory of different risk factors as they age.

They don’t realize that there’s something they can do about it.

Meet client A: she peed literally bending over to pick something up off the floor several times during the week. Her incontinence was gone in four visits.

Meet client B: she had been leaking for over a decade before coming in to see me. She enjoyed high impact exercises and running. Within 8 spaced out visits most of her symptoms were gone.

moral of the story, your long-term health is worth it.

Ditching the aggravation of leaking when you should just be living, life is priceless.

Prevention is key!

So many women have a dry spell so to speak when kids are little. Maybe another when kids stay up later than you and your partner.

Without consistent use the body does not make the same amount of lubrication (this goes for joints too!)

Add in natural changes that begin to occur during perimenopause (as young as mid to late 30’s) and we have the perfect recipe for dry and atrophied (thinning) tissue!

Daily moisturizer can help!

DM me with questions!

My happiest and earliest child memories go back to helping my mom in our community garden when I was little.

I’m not sure if she ever knew that Whole Foods eating would become a lifelong passion from that or not, but I am grateful.

Pelvic floor dysfunction does not come from the same root cause for all. These are potential@drivers and key components to building better pelvic health.

Did you know that seeing a pelvic floor PT does not always mean internal work?
