What is Pelvic Floor Therapy?
What is pelvic floor therapy? If you’ve ever felt like something “just isn’t right” in your core — whether it’s pain, pressure, or bladder changes — you’re not alone.
Pelvic floor therapy helps you understand and strengthen the muscles that support your bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs. It’s not just for new moms or athletes; it’s for anyone whose daily life is affected by discomfort or weakness in this area.
You learn how to move, breathe, and use your muscles in ways that make your body feel supported again. Most people are surprised by how much this therapy improves their confidence, posture, and even intimacy.
Here’s what we focus on together:
Reconnecting you to muscles that have been ignored or overworked
Teaching gentle exercises that restore coordination and strength
Reducing pain and improving control so you can return to normal activities
This isn’t a quick fix — it’s a process that helps your body relearn balance and strength from the inside out. And it starts with you simply noticing that something feels off and deciding it’s time to feel whole again.

Stop Kegeling—Try These Pelvic Floor Stretches Instead
If you’ve been told to “just do Kegels” to fix your pelvic floor, you’re not alone. But what most people don’t realize is that too many Kegels can actually make things worse. For many active adults, especially runners and lifters, the real solution starts with learning how to release tension through pelvic floor stretches that help your muscles move and relax the way they should.
Your pelvic floor works like any other muscle group—it needs strength, but it also needs flexibility and recovery. When those muscles stay tight, you may notice pain in your hips, lower back, or even while running or sitting.
That’s your body telling you it’s time to stretch, not squeeze.
In this blog, we’ll walk through simple, science-backed stretches that help restore balance and coordination to your pelvic floor, so you can move freely, breathe easier, and get back to feeling strong again.

Why Most Neck Pain Exercises Fail (And What Actually Works)
You try every stretch and video online, but the pain keeps coming back. That’s because most neck pain exercises target the wrong problem.
Neck pain rarely comes from one muscle or one bad posture. It builds over time from poor movement habits, weak stabilizers, and daily tension you don’t even notice.
We see it all the time. You stretch the sore spot, but ignore the stiffness in your shoulders, the slumped position at your desk, or the tightness in your upper back.
Real progress happens when you train your body to move the way it’s meant to. That means:
• Strengthening the deep stabilizers of your neck and shoulder blades
• Correcting your alignment through mobility, not just stretching
• Rebuilding control so the pain doesn’t return after every workout or long workday
When you understand how your body connects, neck pain exercises stop being a short-term fix and start becoming a lasting solution.
