When you come to us for pelvic floor therapy, we don’t just focus on one area, we look at your entire body. 🤍

Did you know your pelvic floor is deeply connected to your back, hips, and core? This means tension and discomfort often show up in more than one place. During your session, we do a full-body evaluation to understand how everything is working together.

Through manual therapy and muscle release techniques, we can treat back and hip muscles that directly influence the pelvic floor. By restoring balance and improving mobility, we help reduce pain, release tension, and support your body’s overall function.

Your symptoms might start in one area, but your healing is always whole-body. ✨

Pregnancy comes with its fair share of changes, and sometimes your belly needs a little extra love and support. That’s where belly taping with K tape comes in. 🤍

Belly taping gently lifts and supports your growing bump, helping to reduce pressure, improve posture, and ease common discomforts like lower back pain and round ligament pain. Most of our moms say it feels like a soft hug for your belly, supportive but never restrictive.

Our very own pelvic floor therapist, Ivy, swears by belly taping during her pregnancy! She loves how much lighter and more comfortable it makes her body feel, especially on long days when her back and core are working extra hard.

Whether you’re in your second or third trimester, belly taping can be an incredible tool to help you move with more ease and confidence as your body continues to change. 💫

Endometriosis affects about 1 in 10 people with a uterus, yet so many are left feeling unheard or dismissed. If you’ve been told your pain is “normal” or “just part of having a period,” we want you to know this: we believe you, and your pain is real.

Endometriosis can show up in many ways like:

• Painful periods that leave you curled up and canceling plans.
• Chronic pelvic pain that lingers long after your period ends.
• Pain during s*x that makes intimacy uncomfortable.
• Painful bowel movements or urination, often worse during your cycle.
• Heavy or irregular bleeding that disrupts your life.
• Fatigue that feels impossible to shake.

At Empower, we help you navigate these challenges with compassion and support. Pelvic floor therapy can’t “cure” endometriosis, but it can make a huge difference in managing your symptoms. We focus on reducing pelvic muscle tension, improving mobility, easing pain, and helping you reconnect with your body. 🤍

You deserve care that listens, understands, and helps you feel in control again. If this sounds familiar, you are not alone, and we are here to support you!

Just three pelvic floor therapists who are passionate about helping women feel strong, supported, and confident in their bodies—at every age and every stage of life! 🤍

✨ Teen years and early adulthood: learning to manage period pain, pelvic discomfort, or just understanding how your body works.
✨ Pregnancy: supporting your growing belly, easing aches, and preparing for birth.
✨ Postpartum: helping you heal, reconnect with your core, and move through the challenges no one really warns you about.
✨ Perimenopause and menopause: navigating hormonal shifts, dryness, leaks, and changes in strength.
✨ Later years: staying mobile, supported, and comfortable so you can keep doing the things you love.

Wherever you are in your journey, we’re here to remind you that your pelvic floor deserves care. And you don’t have to figure it out alone!

Your pelvic floor is the foundation of so much more than you might think. It supports your bladder, bowel, uterus, and core, and it plays a huge role in your comfort, strength, and confidence. ✨

That is why pelvic floor therapy is valuable at every stage from pregnancy through postpartum.

Your recovery and comfort matter. You do not have to wait for symptoms to appear before getting support. We are here to help you through pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond. 🤍

So… when should you start pelvic floor rehab?
The short answer: probably sooner than you think.
The longer answer: whenever your body is ready, and that might look different for everyone. 🤍

Whether you’re:
✨ Newly postpartum and just cleared at 6 weeks
✨ Pregnant and preparing for birth
✨ Years into motherhood and still not feeling “right”
✨ Struggling with leaks, pain, or pelvic pressure
✨ Navigating menopause or recovering from surgery

Pelvic floor therapy can help you feel strong, connected, and supported again.

It’s not just about kegels. It’s about breath, movement, healing, and understanding your unique body.

You deserve care that meets you where you are.

Jumping isn’t off-limits forever but it has to be earned safely 🤍

In pelvic floor therapy, we use jump progression to help our clients return to high-impact movement with confidence and control.

Why does it matter?
Because your pelvic floor is part of your shock-absorbing system.

If it’s not ready, jumping can lead to:
💧 Leaking
🎈 Heaviness or prolapse symptoms
😖 Pain or pressure

That’s why we build the foundation first:
✅ Core and pelvic floor coordination
✅ Breathwork + pressure management
✅ Strength, stability, and timing
✅ Gradual exposure to impact (hello, jump squats!)

Whether you’re postpartum, navigating prolapse, or just want to move powerfully again, your body deserves the time and strategy to get there safely!

Whether you’re 6 weeks or 6 years postpartum, reconnecting with your body takes time and trust.
These affirmations are here to remind you that healing is not just physical… it’s emotional, energetic, and deeply personal.

Try this:
🕯 Say one out loud while you’re brushing your teeth
🧘‍♀️ Whisper one during your breathing or movement practice
🛏 Write one on a sticky note and put it next to your bed
📓 Journal your favorite at the end of the day

Your body doesn’t need perfection, it needs presence.

Let these words be a soft place to land when things feel messy, slow, or uncertain.

You are doing so much more than healing-

you’re becoming. 🤍

Honestly, more people than you think!

Your pelvic floor is involved in so many aspects of daily life: bladder and bowel control, posture, core strength, intimacy, and more. And yet… most people don’t know they need support until something starts to feel “off.”

Here are some life stages and experiences where pelvic floor therapy can make a powerful difference:

✨ During Pregnancy
To reduce pain, prepare for birth, improve posture, and learn how to push effectively

✨ Postpartum (no matter how long it’s been)
To heal from tearing, C-section, leaking, prolapse, diastasis recti, or pain with s*x

✨ With Menstrual Issues
If you have endometriosis, pelvic pain, painful periods, or difficulty with bowel movements

✨ During Perimenopause or Menopause
When hormonal shifts can lead to dryness, pelvic floor weakness, and bladder control issues

✨ If You’re Active (or Want to Be)
Leaks when you jump, heaviness with exercise, or trouble engaging your core are signs your pelvic floor may need attention

✨ If You’ve Had Surgery
Abdominal, hip, or back surgeries (even years ago) can impact pelvic floor function and coordination

✨ If S*x Is Painful or Avoided
Pelvic floor therapy can help release tension, improve comfort, and rebuild confidence

The truth is: pelvic floor therapy isn’t just for postpartum people. It’s for anyone who wants to feel stronger, more connected, and more at home in their body at any age or stage.
