It was such a joy to be part of Gatherings at the Well connecting with so many incredible women.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by my table, asked questions, and reminded me why I love getting out into the community. Conversations like these help more women realize they don't have to simply settle for "It is part of being a mom or getting older."

It seems like such a simple test, but it gives me valuable information during a physical therapy evaluation.
I'm not just looking at your balance.

Can you stand equally well on both legs?
Does your pelvis stay level?
How are your hips, trunk, core and ankles supporting you?

These movement patterns matter need to be looked at especially if you are having PT at your pelvic floor, or being evaluated postpartum after having babies or years afterwards.

When your body lacks stability, it may compesate in different ways. For some people, the pelvic floor muscles become overactive or tighten in an attempt to provide additional support. Over time, these compensation patterns can contribute to symptoms like:

• Pelvic pain, back or hip pain
• Pain with s*x • Leaking p*e or 💩

This is why pelvic floor physical therapy is about so much more than doing Kegels or treating one muscle. It is about understanding how your entire body moves so we can address the root cause—not just the symptoms.

🤧 Do you cross your legs every time you sneeze?
You're not alone!

If you've ever leaked with a sneeze or cough, these two tricks may help in the moment:

✅ Slow the sneeze and gently bend forward.
This may decrease the sudden increase in pressure that pushes down on your bladder and pelvic floor.

✅ Cross your legs before you sneeze.
This can increase muscle activation around your pelvis and provide extra support when pressure suddenly rises.

These are great short-term strategies, but they're not the real solution.
If you're leaking, your body may be telling you there's an underlying issue with how your pelvic floor, core, breathing, hips, or pressure management are working together.

That's exactly what pelvic health physical therapy is designed to evaluate and treat.
Let us face it- it hs impossible to plan every sneeze or memorize tricks just to stay dry.

💬 Which one have you tried—crossing your legs or bending forward?

Should I take my pants off?"😄

This is a common question in my clinic, especially on the first day. Yes, most of the time if you are coming for a pelvic floor issue—like leaking, constipation, difficulty emptying, urinary frequency or prolapse—I will want to do a pelvic exam.

Because the best way to evaluate the pelvic floor and determine if it is causing your symptoms is through an internal exam. That is how I was trained and is my professional opinion after practicing for many years as a pelvic health physical therapist.

While an internal assessment can be an incredibly valuable part of treatment when appropriate, it isn't always necessary throughout your sessions.

Because the body is all interconnected and your pelvic floor rarely acts alone and what you are experiencing is rarely from only your pelvic floor. Your body and our treatment functions as a whole.Most of the time physical therapy here addresses:

• Hip or back mobility
• Correct breathing and instruction on pressure management
• Core and hip strengthening
• Training and replacing faulty movement patterns
• Coordination training of your pelvic floor

Because pelvic floor physical therapy is about so much more than just the pelvic floor.

💬 Were you surprised to learn that not every pelvic PT visit includes an internal exam?

Confession: I love taking pictures of unique bathrooms when I travel. 🤠🚽

This rustic little bathroom in a Montana saloon was too fun not to photograph. My pelvic floor physical therapist brain loves a clean but unique bathroom environment.

Remember even while out of town, relax, do not rush and no hovering. As a business owner, I guess I never really clock out... and honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way.

Do you find yourself photographing quirky bathrooms when you travel, or is that just me? 😂

I recommend yoga and Pilates all of the time. And they can absolutely help your pelvic floor but it depends on why you.are having symptoms.
If you're leaking, have pelvic pain, prolapse, or pain with s*x...
Yoga or Pilates should complement pelvic floor physical therapy—not replace it.
First find out why you're having symptoms. Then use exercise to support your recovery.

Grateful for a week in Montana with friends, to unplug, move my body, and soak in God's incredible creation.

Sometimes the best reset is a vacation, fresh air, and a trail in the mountains instead of the beach.

I even got to hike through snow on this one.

Pelvic floor PT brain: Never off. 😂

I've been soaking in the beauty of Glacier National Park

And couldn't help but wonder... how many people get triggered for urgency to p*e with running water.💦.The good news? Those triggers can often be retrained with the right approach.

I wish I could tell every woman the same thing...There is a reason you're hurting, but it's probably not because you did something wrong.

Pelvic pain is rarely caused by one single muscle or one bad movement. More often, it's the result of your body adapting and compensating over time.

My job isn't just to treat where it hurts. It's to understand what's driving your symptoms so we can create a plan that's specific to your body.
Because your body always has a reason.

If you live in Palm Beach County and any of this sounds familiar, Let's talk and find the cause and the solution together.

Pelvic pain is rarely caused by one single muscle or one bad movement. More often, it's the result of your body adapting and compensating over time.

That's also why there's no one-size-fits-all solution. My job isn't just to treat where it hurts. It's to understand what's driving your symptoms, and address the pain too.
