🎃 Pelvic Floor Trick or Treat! 👻🍬
Not everything you hear about your pelvic floor is a TREAT… some advice is definitely a TRICK. 😬
👻 Everyone needs Kegels? TRICK. 🍬 Your pelvic floor needs to relax AND contract? TREAT. 👻 Prolapse means you have to stop exercising? TRICK. 🍬 Breathing matters during Pilates? TREAT.
And pelvic floor PT? Well… you already know which one I’m choosing. 😉🍭

Your pelvic floor is more than just “doing Kegels.” It’s about strength, relaxation, coordination, breathing, and learning how to manage pressure during the activities you love.

Apparently your bowels didn’t get the memo that summer is over. 😂
Ever notice that the second your schedule changes, your bathroom routine can change right along with it?
Back to school, earlier mornings, rushing out the door, different meal times, less water, more stress… all of these changes can affect bowel regularity.

And when you finally get the urge?
“I don’t have time right now.” 😬
Your bowels actually LOVE routine. Giving yourself enough time, staying hydrated, moving your body, and avoiding repeatedly ignoring the urge can all help support healthy bowel habits.
Remember constipation and straining aren’t just digestive issues. Your pelvic floor is involved too.
So if things feel a little… backed up since your routine changed, your pelvic floor PT would like a word. 😉💙

Back-to-school season: when everyone gets a new schedule… including your bladder. 😅
Between getting the kids out the door, commuting, meetings, appointments, and everything else on the calendar, it can become very easy to think, “I’ll just p*e later.”
Occasionally holding your bladder is completely normal. But regularly ignoring the urge or, on the opposite end, constantly going “just in case” can interfere with healthy bladder habits.

Your bladder appreciates a little consistency too. 💙
As routines change this fall, pay attention to what your body is telling you. Your schedule may be busy, but bathroom breaks still deserve a spot on the calendar. 😉
Your bladder didn’t get the school calendar.

Thankfully, pelvic floor rehabilitation has come a long way.

There was a time when the answer to almost every pelvic floor concern was simply, “Do your Kegels.” While Dr. Arnold Kegel’s work was groundbreaking and laid the foundation for pelvic floor rehabilitation, research has taught us that the pelvic floor is much more complex than we once thought.

Today, we know that not everyone needs strengthening. Some people need to learn how to relax their pelvic floor. Others need to improve coordination, breathing mechanics, mobility, or core function.

That’s why there is no one-size-fits-all treatment.

The biggest advancement in pelvic floor physical therapy isn’t just new techniques. It’s understanding that every patient deserves an individualized evaluation and treatment plan.

We’ve come a long way... and thankfully, so has pelvic floor rehab. 💙

Have you ever been told to “just do Kegels?” Let me know in the comments!

We have come a long way. Stay tuned for part 2!

An internal pelvic exam isn’t about checking a box. It’s about giving you the most accurate information possible so we can build the right treatment plan.

The best treatment plan is the one that’s individualized, evidence-informed, and guided by your goals and your consent.

One of the biggest myths I hear every week:
“I thought leaking after having kids was normal.”
While it’s common, it doesn’t mean it’s something you have to live with.

Whether it’s leaking when you laugh, sneeze, run, or jump, your body is telling you something, and there are effective ways to address it.

Pelvic floor physical therapy isn’t just about Kegels. It’s about understanding your body, improving coordination, building strength where it’s needed, and helping you get back to the activities you love with confidence.

If you’ve been told to “just wear a pad” or “that’s what happens after kids,” this is your reminder that you deserve better.

💙 You don’t have to accept leaking as your new normal.

Things that make a pelvic floor PT unreasonably happy… 😂💩
No, we’re not judging your p**p, we’re learning from it!
Your bowel habits can tell us a lot about your:
💦hydration
🥗diet
💪pelvic floor muscle function
🩻overall digestive health.
That’s why one of the first questions you’ll hear in a pelvic floor evaluation is, “Tell me about your bowel movements.”
Our favorites? Types 3 and 4 on the Bristol Stool Scale—formed, easy to pass, and (most importantly) no straining.
Because healthy bowel habits don’t just support your gut, they support your pelvic floor, too.

💩 Did you know your p**p has a number? Let me know in the comments if you’ve ever heard of the Bristol Stool Scale before!
