This is what individualized care looks like.

It's not just exercises‐- it's a plan built around YOU.

👉 Thoughtful assessment.
👉 Your goals.
👉 Skilled evidence based care.
👉 Ongoing adjustments.
👉 And a patient who shows up and puts in the work.

When both sides are invested, progress follows.

THAT'S HOW GOALS ARE REACHED! ✋️

🤰 Pelvic girdle pain (PGP) is common during pregnancy — and it isn’t always explained by tissue injury alone.

Pregnancy-related pain can be better understood through pain neuroscience 🧠✨
This helps explain why symptoms don’t always match imaging, strength, or movement findings.

PGP often involves a mix of pain mechanisms — including tissue-related pain (nociceptive pain) and nervous-system–driven pain (nociplastic pain) patterns.
Understanding how pain works matters because it shapes how we treat it.

That’s why care shouldn’t be just rest or avoidance.
Effective support integrates:
✔️ Education
✔️ movement patterns
✔️ coordination
✔️ strength

Pelvic floor PT = Pain neuroscience 🧠 + movement patterns 🚶‍♀️ + coordination 🤝 + strength 💪

At TriCore, we integrate these pieces to support confident movement and comfort throughout pregnancy 🤰

🚽 Don't strain your pelvic floor.
Feet up, lean forward, and exhale as you push.

Small changes = less pressure, better pelvic health. ✨️

Pelvic floor therapy is for all women — at every stage of life.

✔️ Young women experiencing urinary leakage, pelvic pain, difficulty with tampons, or painful gynecologic exams
✔️ Women navigating new or changing pelvic or bladder symptoms during menopause

If you’re experiencing one (or more) of these symptoms, your body is giving you information — and you deserve answers.
Googling can be a starting point — but resolving these symptoms requires individualized care from a trained pelvic health professional.

✨ Awareness is the first step toward feeling better.
Have questions? DM me — I’m happy to help.

You’re not alone — and these symptoms are more common than you think.
Share this with someone who needs to see it 💜

Let’s talk about Menopause + Pelvic Health 💜
As estrogen drops in peri- and post-menopause, tissues in the bladder + va**na can become thinner and less elastic — leading to Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM).

You might notice:
✨ Vaginal dryness or irritation
✨ Pain with intimacy
✨ Leaking with exercise or sneezing
✨ Burning, urgency, or waking at night to p*e

The good news? You don’t have to live with it.
Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy can help by:
💪 Teaching pelvic floor muscle training to improve support + bladder control
🧘‍♀️ Down training: Relaxing tight or painful muscles
🚻 Guiding bladder retraining + urge control
💧 Educating on moisturizers, lubricants + when to talk to your provider about local estrogen

Research shows pelvic floor PT is first-line treatment for bladder symptoms and GSM — and often life-changing when combined with other care.

You’re not alone, and help does exist. 💜

🌸 Pelvic Health in Menopause 🌸
📍 Zen & Now Yoga Studio

Menopause brings more than hot flashes — it can also affect your muscles, joints, bladder, and pelvic floor. These changes may show up as aches and pains, bladder leakage, or discomfort with intimacy.

In this workshop, we’ll explore:
✨ Musculoskeletal + genitourinary symptoms of menopause
✨ Practical things you can start doing right away to feel better
✨ Gentle pelvic floor stretches and self-care strategies

This is a safe, supportive space to learn and ask questions — whether you’re in perimenopause, menopause, or simply want to better understand your body. 💜

🌸 October is Menopause Awareness Month 🌸

Menopause isn’t just hot flashes. It can bring changes to your muscles, joints, bladder, and pelvic floor that affect how you move, how you feel, and even your confidence.

📊 Did you know?

Up to 70% of women in midlife report muscle or joint aches during this transition.

In one study, about 1 in 3 women experienced urinary leakage, most often with stress incontinence.

For many women, this stage can show up as: aching muscles and joints, unexpected bladder leaks, discomfort with intimacy, or feeling like the pelvic floor is weaker—or sometimes even too tight.

At TriCore Physical Therapy & Wellness, we believe education + support make all the difference. 💜 That’s why this October we’re offering workshops designed for perimenopausal and menopausal women — to talk openly, share strategies, and learn practical tools for pelvic health.

📅 Details coming soon — watch this space!

Let’s break the silence, support each other, and move through this transition with strength. 💪💜

✨ Did you know? ✨
Urinary leakage isn’t always about a weak pelvic floor.

If you’ve been doing endless Kegels and not seeing results, it could be because your pelvic floor needs something different. Leakage can happen not just from weakness, but also from:

🚫 Muscle incoordination

🚫 Muscle tension

🚫 Tightness

That means strengthening alone may not help — and in some cases, it can make symptoms worse.

Pelvic floor therapy looks beyond just “weak muscles.” We assess how your muscles are working together, if they’re too tight, not activating when they should, or simply need better coordination.

💡 Bottom line: Kegels aren’t one-size-fits-all. If they’re not helping, it’s a sign your body may need a different approach.

📲 Curious if this could be you? Reach out for a discovery call — let’s figure out what your pelvic floor really needs.

Ever wondered what your pelvic floor really does? Or why no one ever talks about it until problems show up?

Join me at Groton for a fun + informative workshop where we’ll chat about ALL things pelvic floor and women’s health:
💡 What and where it is
💡 What “normal” really means (and what isn’t)
💡 Symptoms to look out for
💡 The myths and rhetoric we’re made to believe about our bodies

Yes—we’ll be chatting about p*e, p**p, and s*x (because these topics shouldn’t be taboo!) 💬
Bring your questions, your curiosity, and get ready to learn a few simple pelvic floor exercises you can take home.

📅 Saturday, 9/20 @ 10:15 AM

Come be part of this safe + empowering conversation! 💪💜
