New research highlights an important women’s health issue in the military.

A recent study comparing active-duty military women to civilian women found that 42% of military women had at least one pelvic floor disorder, compared to 17.8% of civilians. Researchers also found significantly higher rates of pelvic organ prolapse among military women (37% vs. 4.1%). The study suggests that the high-intensity physical demands common in military service may negatively impact pelvic floor health.

For servicewomen, symptoms like urinary leakage, pelvic pressure, pelvic pain, and core dysfunction should never be considered “just part of the job.”

Pelvic floor physical therapy can play a key role in:
✅ Preventing injury progression
✅ Improving bladder and bowel control
✅ Reducing pelvic pain and pressure
✅ Supporting performance, readiness, and quality of life

Military women are strong—but strength should include pelvic health, too.

☀️ Summertime in the Lowcountry is one of my favorite seasons — slower mornings, salty air, and more time with family. With summer here, I’ll be making a slight adjustment to clinic hours so I can soak up a little more time with my kids while they’re home for the season.

I’ll still be seeing clients this summer, with limited new patient evaluation openings currently available.

Thank you for continuing to support this small, family-centered business. 🤍

Summer schedules tend to fill quickly, so if you’ve been meaning to book, now is a great time to reach out!

I often use a jellyfish analogy when teaching pelvic floor movement 🪼

Think about how a jellyfish moves through the water—

a gentle contract → lift, then relax → release.

That’s exactly how your pelvic floor is designed to function.

Not just tightening…
but also fully letting go.

Your diaphragm and pelvic floor are constantly working together in the background—quietly supporting your breathing, core, and pressure system.

But sometimes, we need to pause and check in 👇

✨ Can you feel your pelvic floor gently lift?
✨ Can you fully let it relax?

Because strength without relaxation isn’t true function.

If you’re dealing with symptoms like leaking, pressure, or pain—
it may not be about doing more…
but about reconnecting to this natural rhythm.

💛 Your body already knows what to do—sometimes it just needs guidance.

You might be doing this all day… without realizing it 👀

Clenching your glutes isn’t the same as “engaging your core.”
And over time, it can actually work against your body.

If you’re constantly holding tension in your butt, it can lead to:
• Pelvic floor dysfunction
• Low back pain
• Hip tightness
• Postural imbalances

Your pelvic floor and glutes are connected—but they’re not meant to be “on” 24/7.

More tension ≠ more support

Your body needs balance, not bracing all day.

Take a second right now…
Are you clenching? 👀

👉 Let it go.

Pelvic pain, leaking, or that constant pressure feeling? You don’t have to just deal with it.

There’s a quick, research-backed way to see if your symptoms could be coming from your pelvic floor—and it only takes a few minutes.

The Cozean Pelvic Dysfunction Screening is a simple questionnaire that helps identify pelvic floor issues early, so you can get the right care sooner. If you’re experiencing 3 or more symptoms, there’s a strong chance pelvic floor therapy could help.

Your symptoms are valid—and they’re treatable.

You’ve probably been told to just “do Kegels.”
But your pelvic floor is so much more than that.

It’s part of your core.
It works with your breath.
It helps control your bladder + bowels.
It plays a role in how you move, lift, and feel in your body.

So when something feels off—
leaking, pressure, pain, instability—
it’s not random.

It’s a system that needs support.

And the solution isn’t just squeezing harder.

✨ Pelvic floor therapy focuses on coordination, connection, and real-life movement—so your body actually works with you again.

You don’t have to guess your way through recovery.

Cesarean Awareness Month 🤍

1 in 3 births happen via cesarean—
yet so many women are left feeling dismissed or unsupported in their recovery.

Let’s change that.

Cesarean birth is:
• Often life-saving
• Physically and emotionally demanding
• Worthy of support and healing

And that healing doesn’t end at your incision.

After a c-section, your body may be navigating:
• Core weakness or disconnect
• Scar tightness or sensitivity
• Pelvic floor dysfunction (yes—even without vaginal delivery)
• Pain with movement, exercise, or daily tasks

Your scar tells a story—
of strength, resilience, and doing what was needed for you and your baby.

But support matters.

Pelvic floor therapy can help you:
• Restore core and pelvic floor coordination
• Improve scar mobility and reduce restrictions
• Decrease pain and pressure
• Return to movement with confidence

You deserve more than just being “cleared at 6 weeks.”

If you’ve had a c-section and feel overlooked in your recovery—this is your sign to get the support you deserve 🤍

“Engage your core” is one of the most common cues—
and one of the most misunderstood.

So many people are told to “tighten,” “brace,” or “pull your abs in”— and end up holding their breath, gripping their stomach, or over-squeezing their pelvic floor.

That’s not true core support.

If you’re clenching everything → you’re creating pressure, not control
If you’re holding your breath → your system can’t coordinate
If your pelvic floor is always “on” → it can’t fully function

Your core is meant to be responsive, not rigid.
It should:
• Gently activate with breath
• Adapt to movement and load
• Work with your pelvic floor—not against it

Pelvic floor therapy helps you learn how to actually coordinate your system— so you’re not guessing every time someone says “engage your core.”

Because more tension isn’t the answer.
Better coordination is.
