Truly—I want to be the help, the hug, or the heartfelt listening that you need 💜

This tends to be an uncomfortable topic for a lot of people, but I want to help spread the word—intimacy should NOT be painful. Not before having a baby, not after having a baby, not while breastfeeding, not while in perimenopause or post menopause. Never.

It’s not supposed to be painful. If it is, PT CAN HELP 🤗 Please know that there’s a lot we can do in pelvic floor therapy to address this problem.

I completely understand that many people aren’t comfortable talking about or asking about this topic, so I meet patients at their comfort level. Nothing is TMI in the pelvic health world 🙃 Just know that you shouldn’t have to suffer through or have a glass of wine to make it tolerable. PT can help!

I explained the meaning of Memorial Day to the girls today, and my heart ached for the people who experience more pain and grief today. For many, it’s a holiday to get extra time for fun, relaxation, or to-do lists. For others, it’s a day filled with heaviness and grief while honoring missed loved ones. 💔

Forever grateful for those that paid the ultimate price and keeping their loved ones in my prayers today 🙏🏼🇺🇸

Koch PT offers a lot of services that aren’t typically thought of as physical therapy. It’s so much more than hips and shoulders here! (Although I do treat lots of those too 😉)

Pelvic floor therapy can help with so many things:
🖤 Fertility optimization
🖤 Prehab (aka rehabilitation BEFORE cancer treatments) and rehab during and anytime after treatments for breast cancer and pelvic cancers
🖤 Pediatric bowel and bladder issues—bedwetting, toilet refusal and potty training problems, urinary urgency and frequency, constipation, daytime leaks, and more!

So while I try to share the most about advocating for women to have the support they need—especially during pregnancy and anytime after since we’re often underserved or overlooked—there are several other specialities offered at Koch PT to help those who deserve care and attention to feel their best during their situation!

As always, if you have ANY questions, feel free to reach out to me. If you know of someone dealing with a hard time and could maybe use some help, feel free to share this with them too 🤗

I know it can be a little tougher for moms to take care of themselves whenever school is out and the kids are home more…but summer break can be the *perfect* time to address bowel and bladder issues for kids!

So if you’ve been waiting for your child to outgrow toileting troubles like constipation, daytime urine or stool leaks, bedwetting, urgency & frequency, toilet refusal, potty training problems, etc. NOW is the time 🤗

No child is too old for pelvic floor therapy. If they’re having issues, it can help get them on the path to dryness, more confidence and greater comfort (because things like constipation don’t magically go away when you grow up 🫢). And we only do what the child is comfortable with (which goes for adults too—no pressure to do anything you don’t want to).

Reach out with any questions! Online booking is available at KochPT.com

Yes, a tennis ball! Whether you’re traveling or just wanting to address some aches and pains at home, a tennis ball is a great way to self-massage muscles.

You can roll it under your foot for plantar fasciitis. You can sit on it for pelvic floor tension, sciatica, and tailbone pain (within your tolerance 🙃). You can lean up against it at a wall for back and shoulder blade pain. So many helpful uses!

Cheap, small and easy to pack, and effective. Triple win 🙌🏼 10/10 recommend.

Have you used a tennis ball for this before?

We went to Sauders Village for my daughter’s field trip this morning and I couldn’t help but notice—we’ve come a lonnnng way in our plumbing and toileting options over the past 100 years! 😆 (Yes, that’s a chamber pot 😝)

Thankfully, now we can focus on making the whole process even more efficient and easy! 😉

I tend to be a very non-judgmental person that can see both (or several) sides of a scenario, so it takes something to make me cringe. 😣 Let me share what does…

❌ If someone already has their mind made up that “this won’t work,” then it makes it a lot harder to actually work. Our brains are very powerful, so if we wire it to think negatively, then it’s going to seek out the negatives. I firmly believe we are so much more than our physical being, so having a positive mindset can greatly impact our physical outcomes and symptoms! Just give it a chance 😉

❌ I’ve heard from multiple patients that another provider told them that they “don’t need pelvic floor therapy” or they “could try it if they really want to but it probably won’t help.” Unless you specialize in the muscles and joints of the pelvis and bowel/bladder/s€xual function, you really don’t know if it could help (and the research and professional experience shows that it DOES help 😉). I can’t imagine discouraging someone from trying something that could bring them relief for something that compromises their quality of life. If you think pelvic floor therapy might help you, be sure to advocate for yourself—or reach out directly to me with any questions. You deserve to feel your best!

❌ I’ve said it 100 times, but I need to keep spreading the news—pelvic floor therapy is soooo much more than kegels. The pelvic floor is so much more complex than other muscles. Your stress levels affect it. Your bowel and bladder habits affect it. Your hormones affect it! You have 2-3 openings in your pelvic floor with things going in and out…other muscles like the biceps don’t even come close to functioning the same way, so why would we treat it the same way—essentially with a bunch of bicep curls?!

As someone who is so passionate about helping people, do you see why these make me cringe? 😂 I bet it wasn’t what you expected!

Did you know that certain exercises are wayyy better at engaging and strengthening your pelvic floor compared to kegels? AND they’re more functional! Because let’s be real—sitting and doing kegels at stoplights isn’t going to help you with much else in your daily life. Lunges, on the other hand, will help you care for your kids, garden, do tasks around the house, and so much more!

It’s gotta be FUNctional!
