Physical Therapy, Fitness training, Orthopedic and Pelvic Physical Therapy, Pregnancy related Physic

We are a group of licensed Doctors of Physical Therapy, specializing in prenatal, postpartum, and pelvic floor concerns. We are passionate about helping clients achieve health, fitness and functional goals through exercise and other natural techniques including massage and joint mobilization. Most people are familiar with orthopedic physical therapy - this is the treatment of dysfunction of bone, muscle, joint, tendon, ligament, and nerve tissues which can all generate pain and disability. Pelvic PT is less well known, even by the medical community. As pelvic PTs we are qualified to treat pelvic floor dysfunction, including urinary and fecal incontinence, postpartum issues like diastasis recti and prolapse, and pelvic pain. If you are pregnant or planning pregnancy and need guidance for safe exercise, if you want help returning to exercise after pregnancy, or if you have pregnancy related pain we can help!! Please contact us today for more information or to set up an evaluation - we look forward to helping you reach your goals!

One of the biggest complaints we hear is pain getting on and off the floor, especially holding a baby! (For preggos, you are technically "holding" a baby 😉, so this applies to you, too!)
In my back pain interview with Dr. Kelsey she highlighted the most efficient ways to get on and off the floor.

Which method you choose will be based on YOUR body - some factors include:
- history of knee pain may make half kneeling difficult
- poor hip mobility may make deep squatting difficult
- poor balance may make half kneeling OR deep squatting risky depending on your specific balance challenges
- poor hip strength may make rising via a lunge more challenging
- history of pelvic organ prolapse may make the deep squat uncomfortable, especially during pregnancy
- the list goes on...

As PTs who specialize in pregnancy and pelvic floor, we can assess your history and movement patterns to find the best option for you, and assign specific exercises to improve your ability to use one or both of these strategies and get OFF the FLOOR without pain, safely, holding your babe!

For individualized help, book a visit!

I interviewed my fellow SHEFit PTs for their top back pain exercises! 👩‍⚕️
Watch the video for Dr. Jessica's favorite ideas for hip mobility: 4 dynamic stretches for the hip flexors, groin and hamstrings.
-Tight Hip flexors can pull on your spine, directly creating back pain. Your psoas also runs along the spine and acts as a spinal mover, so a tight psoas can actually feel like back pain!
-Tight hamstrings attach to your sit bones and may pull the pelvis into "posterior rotation", placing strain on your low back. (See my prior post on posture!)
-Tight adductors (also known as your inner thighs or groin) pull your leg to the center, reducing the mobility of your hips with walking and other movements, which may place more strain on the muscles and joints of the low back.
**Bonus Tip: tight adductors are also associated with pelvic floor and bladder symptoms, and can contribute to p***c symphysis dysfunction!

Try these stretches out, but if your back is bothering you the BEST option is to book an individualized assessment. We are here to help when you're ready! ☺️

When providers know we don't know everything....and we want to learn! 🤓
We want to keep learning every month, every year, because the deeper and broader we get with our knowledge, skill, and toolbox, the more we can help each individual client, and the more different clients we can help!
I don't treat the same way as when I started 14 years ago.
I continue to learn from those who have practiced longer AND from those who have not practiced as long but have different training, or fresh perspectives.
More brains is usually better. 😜
Want to experience care from a team that is always learning? Call us! 858-247-2660
