And THIS is a huge reason I always address shoulder mobility!

Love biking? So does your pelvic floor—when supported.

Riding is great for your mind and body—but it also puts direct pressure on the inner core.
Without proper support, posture, and recovery, this can lead to symptoms that many riders ignore or dismiss.

Prolonged time in the saddle can compress nerves and blood vessels in the perineum (the area between the sit bones).
This can cause:
🔹 Numbness
🔹 Tingling
🔹 Pain with sitting or s*x
🔹 Urinary urgency or leakage
Your seat, posture, and pelvic alignment matter more than you think.

Constant pedaling can lead to muscle imbalance, tight hip flexors, and a dysfunctional pelvic floor.
Over time, this strain may contribute to:
🔸 Pelvic pain
🔸 Tailbone discomfort
🔸 Core weakness
These issues don’t just affect your comfort—they can affect your performance too.Ride longer, stronger, and without discomfort. We’ve got your back (and your bottom).

Wrapping Up OT Month: Let’s Talk About What OT Really Covers
⁠
As OT Month comes to a close, we’re reminded of just how broad and impactful occupational therapy really is.

And when it comes to pelvic floor OT? Most people have no idea what we actually address—because it’s so much more than just “Kegels.”
⁠
Here’s a glimpse into what pelvic health OT might include:
✔️ Functional movement assessments
✔️ Breath pattern retraining to support core + pelvic floor coordination
✔️ Toileting habits and positioning
✔️ Driving adaptations, positioning, and transitions in and out of the car
✔️ Evaluating your daily routines to help optimize pelvic health while you live your life
✔️ Navigating new roles—like a new job, caregiving, or postpartum recovery
✔️ Supporting transitions through life stages or identity shifts
✔️ Nervous system regulation through sensory strategies, pacing, and body-based tools—because healing isn’t just physical, it’s also neurological

We look at the whole picture: your roles, routines, and goals—
and we build strategies to support pelvic health in the context of your everyday life.

Because pelvic health isn’t one-size-fits-all.
And neither is OT.
