✨ And great news—It’s not just for sneezes! (It’s just easier to remember if it rhymes, right? 🙃)
Also known as the “knack” in the pelvic health world, this is a simple technique where you gently engage your pelvic floor right before you sneeze, cough, or laugh.

This quick contraction helps support the urethra and bladder, reducing the chance of leaks when pressure suddenly increases. 💨💦

A small move can make a big impact! 🙌🏼

Pelvic floor therapy ≠ just kegels.
Let’s clear that up real quick. 🙃
It’s about so much more—like posture, breathwork, muscle coordination, pressure management, and learning how to relax and engage the right way.

If you’ve read or been told to “just do kegels” and it didn’t help… you’re not alone. And it doesn’t mean something’s wrong with you—it means you deserve a deeper approach.

✨ Pelvic floor therapy looks at the whole picture. And that’s where the real magic happens. 😉

Your body’s not broken—it’s just stuck in “go mode.”

When we’re stressed, our bodies kick into fight, flight, or freeze—a totally normal survival response. But here’s the thing: that response needs a way to complete or it just lingers… like an open tab in your brain you forgot to close. 🫣

Movement is one of the best ways to help your body complete the stress cycle and return to a sense of safety.

You don’t need a full workout. A walk, a stretch, a dance party in your kitchen—these simple movements signal to your nervous system that the danger has passed, and it’s okay to exhale.

So if you’re feeling stuck, tense, or zapped of energy… move. Your body’s trying to help you heal. 💛

I know pelvic floor therapy isn’t the kind of thing people usually talk about… but honestly? It’s life-changing, so we should talk about it. 🖤

It can feel super personal, but the more we share with our loved ones, the more we help each other know that we’re not alone in our struggles—that goes for pelvic floor issues, battles with anxiety and overwhelm, and everything else in between. We’re stronger when we can lean on and help each other. 🤗

So if you know that your sister struggles with constipation and bloating, or that your friend stopped attending workout classes because she’s afraid she’ll leak, or that your nephew might not be able to attend preschool this year because he’s still having toilet troubles, SHARE the good news that pelvic floor therapy exists and it can help! 🤗

Tailbone pain might be from a fall—or maybe it’s from prolonged sitting at work, certain sports or activities, or childbirth trauma. Regardless of the cause, there’s a good chance your pelvic floor might be involved (especially if you have other pelvic floor symptoms like issues with urination, bowel movements, and pain with intimacy). 😣Tension, trauma, or poor alignment in the pelvic floor can pull on the tailbone—leading to chronic discomfort that just won’t go away. The good news? Pelvic floor therapy can help relieve pain, improve mobility, and get you back to sitting comfortably again. Don’t suffer in silence—you and your tailbone deserve better!

I had the opportunity to speak with the Trinity Preschool staff this morning about pediatric pelvic health, and it was such a great experience!

Sharing a topic I’m so passionate about—and seeing the staff’s genuine interest and dedication to supporting kiddos with toileting challenges—was incredibly rewarding.
It’s encouraging to see educators who truly want to be aware, proactive, and supportive when it comes to children’s pelvic health! 💛🚽

You don’t have to suffer in silence—or hide in embarrassment.
Leaking when you laugh, pressure “down there,” or always knowing where the nearest bathroom is… it’s more common than you think, and it’s absolutely treatable.
The same thing goes for your kiddo’s ongoing 💩 problems, accidents, toilet refusal, and bedwetting.
Pelvic floor issues are very common—You are not alone, and you don’t have to suffer through it when healing is possible. 💛

Isn’t that great?! Research has shown that strength training for 3x/week for 15 weeks lead to a decrease in hot flashes by 44%…and was still continuing to improve! 🤯

That’s . Whether you’re perimenopausal or dealing with the repercussions of a hormone-dependent cancer, hot flashes can significantly impact a woman’s life 🥵 So that’s another great reason to exercise! 💪🏼

Not sure where to start or have aches and pains holding you back? PT can help guide you to feeling your best! 🤗

I LOVE it when a patient realizes how great pelvic floor therapy is 🙌🏼 It truly is life-changing! 🖤

What’s holding you back from being your best you?
👎🏼 Fear of discomfort or awkwardness? I get it! I meet you where you’re at and what you’re comfortable with 🤗
👎🏼 Not wanting to take time for yourself? You can’t pour from an empty cup ☕️ Your loved ones deserve a happy, healthy you.
👎🏼 Unsure of the financial commitment of therapy? The knowledge and guidance that you can gain from a session or two can be invaluable. We can work together to craft a plan of care that suits your financial needs. Any steps towards your goals and feeling better is better than nothing!

🚽✨ Let’s talk p**p posture for this edition of “What is THAT?” ✨💩

Ever heard of the Squatty Potty? It’s more than just a bathroom stool—it’s a game changer for your gut and your pelvic floor!

👣 Elevating your feet helps you:
✔️ Align your body into a more natural squat position
✔️ Reduce straining (a major pelvic floor enemy!)
✔️ Promote more complete and easier bowel movements

Now pair that with Pelvic Floor Therapy, and you’ve got a powerhouse combo! 💪
Pelvic PT can help you:
🔹 Retrain muscles for better bowel + bladder control
🔹 Reduce constipation, leakage, and pressure
🔹 Improve coordination and relax tight muscles

Your body was made to move and p**p efficiently. Don’t settle for struggle when relief is just a stool and a skilled PT away. 😉
