Our job as therapists is to educate and empower. So when a friend asked me, “How do I know if I need pelvic floor therapy?” I was more than happy to share, because this is a topic that deserves to be talked about way more than it is!

Leaking when you laugh, sneeze, or jump? Pelvic pain or discomfort? Recovering from pregnancy or birth? These are common, but they’re not something you just have to live with.

This is by no means an exhaustive list, but it’s enough to get the ball rolling!

Stay tuned for Part 2, and drop your pelvic floor questions in the comments. We might answer them in the next video!

Dr. Claire Spotlight!

As PT’s, there is nothing better than the genuine appreciation from our clients. One of Claire’s young dancers made her this card - That’s how much they love her! We are so lucky to have her as part of our team.

Gua sha isn’t just a viral skincare trend — it’s lymphatic drainage, de-puffing, and tension release all in one tool. A few minutes a day and your face (and your mood) will thank you.

How many shows can we see in a few days? As many as possible. Got to see a former patient, who just won the Tony, perform in this amazing show. Every single member of the company with virtuoso performances! taken in Vivian Beaumont Theater At the Lincoln Center by @vmptwell

Happy International Dance Day (a day late) to Deborah Hay — one of Austin’s own.

A founding member of the seminal Judson Dance Theater in NYC, Hay helped shape postmodern dance by expanding what dance could be—where any body, any movement, any moment holds meaning.

I first started learning about her at 14 years old—and more than 40 years later, I had the chance to meet her here in Austin at an art opening. A full-circle moment that speaks to the lasting impact of her work.

After moving to Austin in 1976, she spent decades leading open workshops for trained and untrained dancers alike, developing her practice of “playing awake”—an invitation to move with deep awareness, where each experience is entirely unrepeatable.
“I cannot think of anything else in my life where there is so much unlearning and learning happening at the same time.”

As physical therapists specializing in dance medicine, we witness this constant cycle of learning, unlearning, and rediscovery in the body every day.

Dancing is not a talent. It is a way of waking up.
Thank you, Deborah. Two women in art gallery by @vmptwell

It was truly an honor and joy to be invited as an alumni speaker for the UT Kinesiology & Health Education Career Panel. It was fascinating to hear the career paths of the other panelists and how we all found our way to healthcare. I was so inspired by my peers and the students at my alma mater.

So proud of our dancers who participated in today’s Pointe Readiness Assessment with Dr. Vanessa Muncrief with @vmptwell 💗🩰

Pointe Readiness Screenings help determine if the timing is truly right for each individual dancer. This is such an important step in protecting growing bodies while building a strong technical foundation.

Each student received a personalized strengthening program designed to support their goals and further develop the strength, stability, and alignment needed for a successful pointe journey.

We are incredibly excited for these beautiful dancers and so proud of their discipline and commitment to doing things the right way. Pointe is a milestone — and we can’t wait to watch them step into this next chapter with confidence, strength, and artistry. ✨

We are heartbroken at the passing of Austin dance legend Kathy Dunn Hamrick.
I first met Kathy 32 years ago as a young dancer Austin. I quickly fell in love with her classes — her irreverent sense of humor, her quirky movement, and the way she encouraged dancers to take up space with confidence and creativity.
Beyond the studio, I had the privilege of caring for Kathy as a patient and, for a time, supporting her entire dance company. To witness her dedication and perseverance to her craft up close was an honor. Her commitment to dance — and to her dancers — was truly unparalleled.
She lived her life with grace, grit, and deep gratitude.
Kathy will be profoundly missed, but we like to think she’s choreographing something beautiful up above.
Farewell, dear friend. 🤍

We love getting out into the community and sharing what we do!
Huge thank you to the McCallum Dance Program for inviting us to speak with your dancers! We covered injury prevention, dancer-specific nutrition, and how to safely continue dancing
-even when managing an injury.
Empowering dancers with knowledge is one of our favorite parts of being PTs. Thanks for having us!
