The pelvic floor is super unique in that it has an insane variety of functions we require it to carry out on a moment’s notice.

One of the more difficult aspects of the job is that we need it to act like a
t r a m p o l i n e —

🤹🏽‍♀️ We need it to constantly support our weight during low or high impact activities, shock absorb, yet provide enough force to support all our pelvic organs & manage any fluctuations to abdominal pressure that happens as frequently as every breath we take. Oh & completely relax for bathroom & intimate activities 😮‍💨

👒 We’re asking it to wear so many different hats all at once & seamlessly transition through them all — which can be super challenging!

🛤️ One of the most common pelvic floor issues I’ll see with patients is a super tense pelvic floor that’s stopped acting like a trampoline & turned into a rickety wooden roller coaster that feels every bump & jump that comes it’s way (in the nicest way possible)

🛼Your pelvic PT can help you relax, activate & coordinate your pelvic floor to start acting like a trampoline again — freeing you up to participate in any activity symptom-free!
