Headed to Penn State to conduct the Pelvic Rehab lecture and lab (pregnancy and postpartum lecture and lab) for the physical therapist assistant students :)

The wait is finally over for them to learn:

1. Why it is important for the pelvic floor to train to be relaxed during delivery (verses being strong/contracting)
2. Most women DO NOT go into an anterior pelvic tilt with pregnancy and after, and why assuming so creates a program that is not effective (or even harmful)
3. When women are ready to go back to their sport/full workouts/running, etc after delivery (generally not the accepted 6 week mark)

Then we go into hands-on lab (most exciting part!)

Pretty sure the students could not sleep last night due to the anticipation and excitement of today :)

No one likes to wait weeks or months to start healing and getting back to what you love to do without pain or incontinence.

Call today to start your rehab at our Wilkes-Barre or Moosic locations :)

“I came to Elite for pelvic floor therapy. Lisa was my therapist. She helped me strengthen my pelvic area. The therapy helped me out. I do not have any symptoms and I’m now maintaining my weight. I feel so good. Many thanks Lisa and Elite! “ - Mary Jean Stephens

“The therapy I received from the Elite staff helped me strengthen my pelvic area prior to surgery. After surgery, they helped me regain my strength and also helped with my core. With their guidance I can now continue what I learned at home. Thank you, Elite! “ - Miriam Cappos

Perineal biofeedback is used by many clinicians and patients to help a patient learn to control pelvic floor muscles. If used properly with guidance it can be a wonderful tool to assist in learning.

Up on a Sunday way before the sun to work on additions to my spring semester Pelvic Rehab courses. ☺️

We have been adding vibration plates/whole body vibration to our programs, and we are seeing some early successes 👏

As with any of the "tools" we use in pelvic rehab, it's important to know when to add them, what parameters to use, and to couple them with appropriate exercise, activities, manual therapies, etc for the clinical indications you are trying to achieve (when used incorrectly symptoms can become worse).
.....that being said, we are having a great time working with our patients and seeing success!

I LOVE teaching the physical therapy and physical therapy assistant students pelvic rehab, and can't wait to explore this new section with each group ☺️

Sunday-Funday working on continued research on Vibration Plates and Pelvic Rehab :)

We started to implement vibration plates into our pelvic rehab programs, adding this to our programs in order to work on rapid muscle contractions, improving muscle strength, coordination, and activation. For pelvic floor rehabilitation, this can help strengthen the pelvic muscles, improve blood flow to the pelvic region, and reduce symptoms associated with pelvic floor dysfunction.

It can also be used as a tool to help nonrelaxing pelvic floors by using low-intensity vibrations to improve muscle tone, circulation, and neuromuscular control, helping to release tension.

As is true with all of the "tools" used in rehabilitation, it can be helpful as a part of the overall program (if appropriate indications are chosen, as well as accurate parameters).

More to come on this at Elite :)

POSTPARTUM WOMEN – DO NOT RETURN TO FITNESS UNTIL YOU PASS THESE TESTS

We advocate for women to return back to their prior level of activity...but not until their bodies are ready and at low risk for incontinence, pelvic pain, prolapse, etc.

There has been much confusion as to when that is - clear up the confusion here:
