Messages like these are what fuel our fire!!

For context this client’s dad had been battling undiagnosed vertigo for 3-4 months and kept being pushed off by several other healthcare providers. He finally had an Audiologist tell him that she thought he might have vertigo and should find a Physical Therapist to treat it.

One session later and he is symptom free and back to normal life without the fear of being dizzy or falling!

If you are battling dizziness symptoms message us “VERTIGO” and see how we can help you!

Attention runners, if you experience pain in the arch of your foot, or if you’ve been told you have flat feet then you want to save this exercise for your next workout.

The Posterior Tibialis muscle provides support to the arch of your foot, stability to your inner ankle and it assists in helping your calf muscles point your foot down. This increases your force when running to propel yourself forward. This ultimately helps you run faster 🏃‍♀️

To perform a proper Post Tib heel raise squeeze a ball between your heels as you raise up over your big toe. Cadence should be slow and controlled and focused on working through your full range of motion!

If you have been battling foot pain on your long runs message us “RUN” and see how we can help you today!

Save this for your next shoulder workout!

Your rotator cuff is a dynamic group of muscles that have to stabilize your shoulder through multiple planes of motion!

If you are only training your rotator cuff by pulling your arm out to your side you are leaving a lot of benefits on the table!

Note: your shoulder will get tired very fast with this so don’t aim for a high volume of repetition here. If you feel pain or start to shrug your shoulder up it’s time to take a rest break.

Don’t sleep on one of the most versatile pieces of equipment in the gym!

The Landmine Goblet Squat is a great variation for general lower body strength training. It’s also an amazing way to modify load placement for someone dealing with back pain, or someone with shoulder pain who can’t tolerate holding the bar behind their back.

As always we believe that someone recovering from an injury needs to use the gym and not quit it. Save this for the next time you are battling an injury and want to train around it!

Do you p*e “just in case” before you leave home, work out, or go to bed?

This is common during pregnancy and after birth. But going too often can teach your bladder to feel full too soon.

Listen to your body—not the clock.

If bladder leaks or strong urges are getting in your way, pelvic floor physical therapy can help. Send us a DM to schedule with Dr. Natalie!

The trap bar deadlift isn’t the “easy” version of a deadlift—it’s a powerful tool for building total-body strength while allowing many lifters to train from a more comfortable position.

But if lower-back pain keeps showing up every time you lift, changing exercises may only provide temporary relief. The real goal is to identify why your back is being overloaded and build the strength, mobility, and confidence needed to lift without fear.

Dealing with lower-back pain during deadlifts, squats, or workouts? Send us a DM with the word BACK to schedule an evaluation and start working toward pain-free lifting.

For years, many women with diastasis recti have been told to avoid curl-ups and “be careful” with abdominal exercise.

But avoiding core loading altogether may not be the answer.

New research found that women with persistent diastasis recti; including women with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, improved both abdominal strength and inter-rectus distance through a structured 24-week program that included curl-ups, breathing exercises, and postural training.

The takeaway? Your abdominal wall is not permanently fragile. It can adapt and become stronger when exercises are selected appropriately and progressed with intention.

There is no single “bad” exercise for every person with DRA. The right exercise depends on your symptoms, current strength, pressure management, and how your body responds.

If you are struggling with diastasis recti or feel uncertain about safely rebuilding your core, send us a DM to learn how pelvic floor physical therapy can help.
