👶🏻 CRAWLING UPDATE 👶🏻

All of my hard work and encouragement of getting Teddy to crawl has paid off! We officially have a crawler and he has already gotten into the dog’s water bowl too many times 🤪

I just got a good question from a mom the other day. Her baby is on the verge of skipping crawling and going straight to standing with support. This can be good for developing leg strength and proprioception, but I emphasized the importance of getting her baby on all four’s. ➡️ Make it fun and exciting! Have a stimulating toy that they have to reach for, help assist leg movement while they try to move their arms..there are a ton of tricks! And if you’re not sure what to do, I’m happy to help you and your baby! 🤗

Meanwhile, pray that Teddy doesn’t start drinking out of the dog water bowl soon 🤣

🏋🏻‍♀️ WE 🩷 WEIGHTS 🏋🏻‍♀️

The majority of people that come see us at Magelitz Clinic Conservative Medicine are in pain. Most people are very surprised, and almost hesitant, that we grab weights quickly during our treatment sessions. 😬

Why?

Weight helps ground you ➡️ which help stabilize your body ➡️ and calms down your nervous system ➡️ then decreases pain

There’s a method to the madness, you just have to trust us 🤝

My favorite statement at the end of a treatment, especially with patients that are not used to using weights, are “wow I actually feel better” 🤯

Dealing with pain that’s been unresolved with other treatments & methods? We are happy to help you! Visit our website at www.magelitzclinic.com for more info and enquiries 📩

Since becoming a mom of two, women’s health/pelvic floor therapy has become my passion 💕. With an ortho background (I am SFMA and Herman & Wallace certified), I am trained to asses movement from head to toe, with a specialty in pelvic floor assessment. 📝

My main goal for every person (pelvic floor patient or not) is to get them up off the treatment table as soon as possible, get moving and strength training 💪🏼

What you will get every visit ⬇️
▫️one on one treatment sessions for one hour
▫️movement assessments so there’s no guesswork
▫️customized exercise programming
▫️variety of manual treatments
▫️warmly greeted by the same therapist every time who cares about your goals
▫️ a therapist who listens to your needs/wants, and will design each session to best accommodate you
▫️pelvic floor assessment with no need for biofeedback

Anyone can get ahold of me via FB/instagram, email, phone call or text 📲 and I’m happy to answer ANY questions, even just to see if I could realistically help you or not. For enquiries visit our website at www.magelitzclinic.com 🙌🏼

🤘🏼RAD DADS🤘🏼

I’d be a very one-sided therapist if I never included the awesome dads that are out there 👊🏼. This one has a sweet lil baby at home and already having some left sided neck and shoulder pain from holding his newborn nugget and looking down so much at her precious face! 🤗

Totally understandable ➡️ but totally treatable‼️

Common pain for new dads to experience:
🔹neck
🔹shoulder
🔹low back
🔹with bending, lifting, and standing with baby

Nothing that some cupping, manual treatment, foam roller use, core and postural exercises can’t fix 💪🏼

Mom’s Night Out Ep. 6 at was SO MUCH FUN!! I was so preoccupied that I didn’t get any pictures with the music instructors 😅

Thank you so much Emma and GraceAnne from Music Therapy Connections for putting on this Mommy and Me Music Night! All the kids had such a great time, this was the perfect snowy activity for our littles 🤗 Cody was front and center listening to the music, so you know he loved it ❤️💚

Go check them out!! The power of music and dance for our little ones is so fun to watch! They have so much to offer at Music Therapy Connections, LLC🎶🎹🎸🥁

👏🏻 REAL TALK 👏🏻

Showing up for yourself is HARD. Especially when you have pain, problems, and issues that take time to fix. Throw in work & a couple kiddos in the picture, and sh*t doesn’t get done because everyone comes before YOU.

I 100% relate and understand that. But I also know that I have 20-30 minutes a day that I can set aside for myself. Everyone does. ⏰

I’ve learned that hour long workouts are not going to happen for me anymore. Shrinking my “me time” to around 30 minutes is realistic. So I’m doing a workout program that includes bout 5-7 exercises, rotating 2-3 times through (depends on timing) and I am satisfied with that! This is my new normal 🫡

Mommas that have no idea where to start strength training at, here’s your sign 🪧 don’t be a stranger 👋🏼

The word is out! 🗣️Off to Chatham we go! 🫡Taking patients Jan 2026 in our own new space 🥳

❄️ NEW YEAR GOALS ❄️

…but why wait until January to start?

As of Dec 1, these are my goals and I’m changing habits NOW instead of waiting one more month. I am 10 months postpartum with my second kid, and I 100% put myself on the back burner all of this time. Ya girl is ready for a change, and guess what..problems don’t fix themselves. 💁🏻‍♀️

I am very proud of my body for growing and giving birth to two amazing babies, taking care of their needs, nursing and pumping full time. But I am ready to focus on me and improve my health.

If you are also ready for this change, I love a good accountability buddy 🤗

Don’t know where to start? Get ahold of me for custom programs designed for you & your specific needs, not a generic “one size fits all” program. In person, in home, and online options available. 🫡
