Mom #1 has her first baby. She’s always been super active and pretty fit. But she ties much of her identity to her fitness, body, and what she can accomplish. She believes a GOOD workout is at least 45 min long, and she’d honestly rather do a bunch of hard cardio than strength train because […]

I have a super fun story for you this week. I saw a patient recently who contacted me for some postpartum help. She had gone to another pelvic PT postpartum who was more local to her (she lives 1.5 hours from me), and though these visits were helpful, she still felt like something was missing. […]

Hot take: if it’s free advice, it will probably not fix your issues…You need to STOP trusting your pelvic floor rehab to someone who’s never actually worked with vaginas.
