Root To Rise Physical Therapy & Pelvic Health

02/02/2026

✨ Healing doesn’t end when physical or occupational therapy does — and strength doesn’t have to be rushed or intimidating.

That’s why Root To Rise Physical Therapy & Pelvic Health and Iron Legion Scarborough partnered together: to create a thoughtful, supported bridge from rehab to real-world strength. 💪

Whether you’ve just been cleared from therapy or you’re training while managing core, pelvic floor, or lingering pain, you deserve care that sees the whole picture — not just the symptoms.

This is about moving forward with confidence, not fear… and feeling supported every step of the way. 🖤

❄️ Leaking when you cough, run, or shovel snow?

Maine winters bring cold, muscle tension, shallow breathing, and possibly lifting, ie shoveling snow. All of these things affect how your pelvic floor responds under pressure.

✨ leakage isn’t always about pelvic floor weakness
✨ more kegels (or any kegels) are not usually the answer
✨ simple changes can make a BIG difference

Pelvic floor therapy is about addressing your whole body from breathing, core coordination, movement patterns, and real-life function, so you can move through winter (and beyond) with more confidence, resilience and symptom free.

We just shared a new blog breaking this down gently and clearly.

🔥 Restore + Renew: New Moon Edition 🌑
Yoga & Acupuncture with Dr. Jenn + Carole

Join us for an intimate evening of movement, stillness, and healing as we gather under the energy of the New Moon and Lunar New Year.

This Restore + Renew is inspired by the Year of the Fire Horse — a symbol of strength, freedom, and forward momentum. Fire invites transformation: a chance to release what no longer serves, burn away old stories, and rise renewed with clarity and purpose.

Through gentle yoga and thoughtfully chosen acupuncture points, we’ll move together, set intentions together, and heal together — harnessing the fresh energy of the new moon to begin again.

🗓 Saturday, Feb 22
⏰ 4:30–6:00 PM
📍 Root to Rise Studio | Scarborough
💫 $55 | Limited spots

Space is limited! Sign up here: https://www.roottorisephysicaltherapy.com/events/restore-renew-yoga-acupuncture-2-25

Come as you are. Leave feeling lighter, clearer, and reignited.

✨ Free Diastasis Recti Workshop ✨
📅 February 23rd
📍 Root To Rise Studio – Scarborough

What is diastasis recti really—and is healing just about “closing the gap”? (Spoiler: no.)

Join us for a free educational workshop where we’ll break down:
• What the deep core actually is
• How the abdominal & pelvic “canister” works
• What diastasis recti is (and isn’t)
• Why pressure management, breath, and coordination matter more than gap size
• Everyday strategies for posture, lifting, and movement
• How pelvic floor floor therapy supports healing and function

Perfect for anyone pregnant, postpartum, or curious about their core—no experience needed.

🧘‍♀️ Education + gentle movement + Q&A

🎉 Happy 1-Year Anniversary, Kristen! 🎉

We can’t believe it’s already been a year since Kristen joined the Root To Rise team 💛 From day one, her presence, skill, and compassion have been such a gift to our community.

Kristen brings a deeply thoughtful, grounded approach to acupuncture, meeting each person exactly where they are and helping them feel supported, regulated, and truly cared for. Our patients feel it, our team feels it, and we are so grateful to work alongside her.

Thank you, Kristen, for your dedication, your heart, and the calm you bring into every room ✨ We’re so lucky to have you and can’t wait to see what the years ahead hold!

✨ Welcome to Root To Rise, Leanna! ✨

We’re so excited to welcome Leanna, Kline, our Doctor of Physical Therapy Intern from the University of New England, who will be joining us for the next 3 months!

Her passion for pelvic health was shaped through both professional and personal experiences working as a nursing assistant at Spaulding Rehab and witnessing firsthand how pelvic floor therapy can transform quality of life. Seeing the impact pelvic health care had on her mom’s recovery and return to the activities she loves (including figure skating!) further inspired her path into women’s and pelvic health.

When she’s not in the clinic, you’ll find her practicing yoga, reading a good book, or hanging out with her two cats, Ziggy & Zoro 🐾

We’re so glad to have her learning and growing alongside our team. Be sure to say hi when you see her in the clinic!

We believe healing happens best when care is truly personal.

Every acupuncture session in our clinic is 1:1 meaning your acupuncturist has their full attention with you the entire time. We don’t leave the room to treat someone else. Your session is unhurried, focused, and fully centered on your body and your needs.

Acupuncture can support relief from back pain, headaches, neck tension, and chronic pain by calming the nervous system and supporting your body’s natural healing response.

✨ Serving Scarborough & Southern Maine

🌿 Health Fair: Authentic Care, Rooted in Community

There’s something really special about a health fair, and not just because you can grab free resources or meet new providers…

A health fair is a reminder that your health doesn’t have to be complicated or corporate.

It can be:
✨ local
✨ personal
✨ community-rooted
✨ and built around REAL human connection

When you attend a health fair with small local healthcare and wellness businesses, you’re doing something powerful:

✅ You’re learning what support actually exists right in your own town
✅ You’re finding providers who take time to listen (not rush)
✅ You’re discovering options you may not even know were available
✅ And you’re supporting people who are truly invested in helping the community thrive

This is what “authentic healthcare” looks like: real conversations, real relationships, and real support.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, anxious, stuck in survival mode, or simply curious about what’s available to help you feel better — Come join us Saturday February 7, 2026 from 12p to 3 p at Yoga Etc. in Yarmouth, Maine!
