🔹If you turn down plans because you’re worried you won’t make it to the bathroom in time…
🔹If you keep multiple pads in your bag “just in case”…
🔹If you cross your legs when you sneeze, scope out bathrooms everywhere you go, or feel anxious the moment you’re too far from home…

We know that’s an exhausting way to live.

Leakage, urgency, and bowel issues can be common, especially post-baby, during menopause, after surgery, or with chronic conditions like IBS. But common doesn’t mean you have to just accept it as your new normal. Pelvic floor physical therapy is incredibly effective for improving bladder and bowel control.

You deserve more freedom than living your life from bathroom to bathroom. Ready to talk about what that could look like? Schedule a free 15-minute call with a member of our team at the link in bio.

Dr. Katie is now 24 weeks pregnant with her twins! Even on days when the pregnancy fatigue is very real, she does her best to stay consistent with gentle core work.

Why? These moves coordinate your breath, manage the added pressure and load of pregnancy, and build body awareness as things start to shift, which helps now and during postpartum recovery later on.

Following along for 3 pregnancy-friendly core exercises we often share with clients at Boston Pelvic Physical Therapy in the second and third trimester. Note this video is sped up 3x - each move should be done slowly and carefully. Remember that every pregnancy is different, so choose what feels best for *you*.

Read the full move descriptions and how-tos in the comments below👇

We get this question a lot, and the answer is yes, you can absolutely still come in for your pelvic floor PT appointment if you have your period.

Menstruation does not interfere with internal assessment or treatment. Our team is comfortable doing pelvic floor PT whether or not you’re on your period (it’s not “too messy” or “too gross,” or any of the other worries we’ve heard). What matters most is what’s comfortable for *you*.

If you’d rather avoid internal work while on your period, just let your PT know, and they’ll adjust the visit accordingly. You can still work on external manual therapy, exercises, education, and more.

If you’re dealing with uncomfortable menstrual symptoms and would rather not leave your home, we can do a virtual visit instead. Or we can reschedule altogether if you prefer (our late cancellation policy/fee applies within 24 hours of your appointment time).

💛 This is your care, on your terms, so we’ll work together to determine what feels best for you!

Prolapse is surprisingly common and very treatable, yet so many people walk through our doors feeling embarrassed, overwhelmed, and really confused by what they’re experiencing.

If you’re dealing with prolapse symptoms right now, please know you don’t have to figure it out alone (or go down late-night Google rabbit holes).

We offer free 15-minute connection calls to chat through what you’re going through, answer your questions, and help you explore all your options. We’ll help you feel like yourself again and get back to the quality of life you deserve.

Despite what many people think, leaking when you run, jump, or lift *isn’t* a reflection of your overall fitness or strength.

At Boston Pelvic PT, we’ve worked with Pilates & Barre instructors, CrossFitters, and professional athletes who were otherwise in great physical shape but still struggled with leaking or pelvic pain.

(In fact, if you’re highly active, you might be over-working and tensing your pelvic floor muscles, which can make these kinds of symptoms worse, not better.)

Being strong and being coordinated in your pelvic floor are two different skills. The good news is that pelvic floor PT can teach you this, so your body feels great keeping up with the full, active life you want to lead.

Pilates, barre, and yoga are incredible additions to your workout routine (Dr. Alex swears by her weekly Pilates sessions)💪🏼

But diastasis recti (ab separation) isn’t just a core strength problem. If your thoracic spine is also stiff and your ribs can’t move the way they should, then your deep core can’t load properly - so your healing stalls, no matter how consistent you’ve been with your workouts.

At Boston Pelvic PT, we assess and treat the full picture (because no body part works in isolation). We’d love to work with you - you can book an appointment or start with a free 15-minute discovery call at bostonpelvicpt.com.

🎧 And to learn more, our newest Under the Hood episode “Diastasis Recti: What’s Really Going On With Your Abs After Baby” is out now. Link in bio to listen!

🌈 LGBTQIA+ adults are twice as likely to report negative healthcare experiences, from being misgendered to being refused care altogether (Irwin, 2024; KFF, 2024). You deserve clinicians who see and respect you, and there are tools to help you find them.

Options for finding inclusive, affirming providers (PCPs, specialists, therapists, and more):

🔹LGBTQ+ Healthcare Directory: lgbtqhealthcaredirectory.org — a searchable directory of affirming providers across specialties

🔹OutCare’s OutList: outcarehealth.org/outlist — an international directory, searchable by keyword, location, and specialty

🔹GLMA: glma.org— a professional organization of providers committed to LGBTQ+ health equity

And it’s completely reasonable to email a provider before your first appointment to ask how they approach LGBTQIA+ care — their response can tell you a lot about whether they’re a good fit.

Are there other resources you’d add? Please share them with us in the comments!
