It’s time to get back to business!

I’m slowly returning from maternity leave with shortened days and hours. This way I can make sure I’m taking good care of myself, my little one, AND you!

Feeling so grateful for the whole @ethosbuffalo team for taking care of things while I’ve been away, but especially Maddie for giving wonderful pelvic health care. She continues to accept new clients and has morning, evening and weekend availability!

If you see me sneaking in and out of my office with a snack and my Spectra between appointments… yes you did.

Slams clinic door shut until this fall!

I’m out here feeling round and ready for maternity leave and wanted to take the chance to update everyone. With birth around the corner, I plan to take a break from social media. This will be a great way for me to take care of my mental health and bond with my growing family. I still have some posts scheduled and I’m sure I’ll peek in here every now and again. Know that I won’t be consistently reachable and I appreciate everyone who has strongly encouraged me to take all the time!

The reason I can comfortably do this is the awesome team we have at @ethosbuffalo. We’ve all worked so hard together to grow a thriving clinic and it feels crazy to “leave” this business baby! Looking back on the last handful of years I can’t believe what a grind it’s been, but I’m so proud of how things have flourished. The whole crew has encouraged me to take my foot off the gas and enjoy my new role as a parent.

All of my clients have been smoothly handed off to Maddie for pelvic PT and she’s already taking great care of everyone. If you’ve seen me in the past, know that you are welcome to get on to her schedule while I’m away. Anyone can return to my care when I’m back or continue to be treated by her based on your preference! Neither of us have any ego about this and just want you to be with the PT who will fit your needs best.

Thank you thank you to everyone who’s always trusted me with such a vulnerable part of their life. I can’t wait to come back with a whole new perspective on pelvic health and be an even better therapist!

A muscle that’s tight is just as bad at doing its job as a muscle that’s weak.

Let me say that again.

A muscle that’s tight is not going to complete its function well. Weakness is not the only reason for poor muscular performance!

When we see this in the example of a bicep curl, it makes a lot of sense. Pelvic floor muscles work the same!

So if “just do some kegels” hasn’t worked out so well for you, consider that muscular tension may actually be the issue. Get examined and we can come up with a plan that will serve you better!

We’ve all experienced the sensation of swatting a mosquito away successfully - but then you can’t get the feeling out of your body and mind. For the next 10 minutes every time you feel a breeze blow or a hair on your neck, you’re going to think it’s a mosquito. This is what happens when your nervous system becomes hyper sensitive.

In pelvic health, we see this often with pelvic pain. The nerves perceive every stimulus as if it’s a threatening one. They’re very protective of such an important area of our body! We start to believe every sensation takes us down a one way street toward pain. “Retraining the nervous system” is all about recalibrating the sensitivity of the nerves and becoming more accurately aware of what each sensation really is!

What a great morning for our “Glutes & Core: Women of a certain rAGE + PF talk”!

Thank you Dr. Maddie Baco of @ethosbuffalo for the insightful chat on why your pelvic floor might be the “missing link” in building a stronger core and powerful glutes.

Keep an eye out for even more collabs with @maddiebaco in @chasingpura_vida’s classes coming up!

If you’ve been thinking about it, now is a really good time. Book the appointment!

Time typically doesn’t heal pelvic health concerns, it only continues to exacerbate them. Don’t wait for the bonfire to turn into a wildfire, get care sooner than later!

Reminder that I will not be taking new clients after May 1, as I will be preparing for maternity leave. After that I will continue to see my established clients until I go out later in the summer.

You will still be able to get top tier care at @ethosbuffalo with Maddie in pelvic health and Zach and Matt in orthopedics and training. Message us with questions or use the link to schedule!

If you sit at your computer like this… seriously?

No, I don’t expect you to be “perfect” all day, but try these tips to make your environment work for you!

If you’re a slumper, roll up a towel and put it horizontally behind your low back. If you tend to hunch toward your screen, put if vertically along the length of your spine.

If tight traps and a sore neck are your complaint, bring your screen closer to eye level. Use a block or a lap desk for a laptop or adjust your desk or chair height for a desktop.

If your feet dangle because your chair is deep or you’re short, bring the ground up to you with a foot rest. This also helps to keep you from slumping or hunching.

Don’t forget to take a deep breath, roll your shoulders back and get lots of screen breaks!

How do we choose the best exercises? Strength is like digging a hole.

You can dig a wide hole, always doing something new and different. Think group fitness classes that string together 3 exercises into one. And then make you do 16 different ones as fast as possible. That’s not a very good hole, that’s a ditch.

Or you can dig a deep one! Primary foundational movements. Vary them by changing tempo, load, rep range, etc. Do these well and keep getting better at them.

When making your choice, remember that you want the best hole possible. Dig deeper, not wider.

We think of pelvic PT as a solution for peeing your pants or care after having a baby. But did you know we can do so much more than that?

Prostatitis, post prostatectomy care or prep for surgery, vestibulodynia, tailbone pain, hysterectomy care before or after surgery, vaginismus, shy bladder, constipation, labor prep with pushing, diastasis recti, low libido and anal fissure are all things I treat on a regular basis

This is not an exhaustive list, but they’re some things you probably didn’t realize we can help with!

If your concern isn’t on this list, shoot me a message and let’s talk about if I can help!
