Mommy & Me Yoga Got Me Out the Door. It Is Not a Return-to-Run Program
Here’s what your running-informed pelvic floor PT wants you to know before you hit the road. Let Me Be Clear: This Is Not a Hit Piece on Yoga I love mommy and me yoga. I really do. Back in 2011, with my first son, there was a Wednesday 11:30am class at a local studio that […]
Nike “Walkers Tolerated” Controversy: Why Walking, Running, and Postpartum Exercise All Count
You can’t promote movement for pregnant and postpartum athletes—and then suggest some forms matter less. I was a Nike kid. Like… obnoxiously Nike. Black running tights, peak 80s energy—with a thick white stripe up the side and HUGE obnoxious hot pink NIKE letters stamped right down my thigh (IYKYK). I thought I was freaking FloJo. […]
When “It Sounds Right” Isn’t the Same as Being Right
Why this kind of pelvic floor advice pulls you in—and why it doesn’t hold up I saw a video today that made me stop scrolling. And if you know me, you know I usually don’t stop. I keep it moving—because the second I pause, I can feel myself getting irritated. Not just because of the […]
Postpartum Return to Running Is Not a Checklist (And We Need to Stop Pretending It Is)
Readiness to run postpartum has come a long way. And honestly? That part is really exciting. Because not that long ago… there was no guidance. No conversation. No real support for women who wanted to get back to running after having a baby. But now? We’ve swung hard in the other direction. Now there’s guidance […]
No PR. Just This.
There was no plan for a PR yesterday.(Spoiler alert: there wasn’t.) The plan was to get to the start line healthy, take it all in, and finish. That’s it. No big expectations. No chasing a number. Just… be there and see what the day gives me. The start line (and the very real pre-race pee […]
Eight Years, a Yard Sale, and a Back Room Full of Sombreros
How a Dreary November Day Turned Into a Practice That Changed My Life (and Theirs) There are some things you can count on me to remember. My kids’ birthdays. Our dog’s gotcha day. And then there are things I should remember… like my own business anniversary. February 27th marked 8 years in my office for […]
You’re Not Broken. You’re Just Running on 2011 Information.
Why pelvic floor physical therapy for leakage, prolapse, and perimenopause looks very different in 2026 (and what that means for active women) I love seeing repeat patients. Not because something went wrong. But because life happened. Another pregnancy. Kids are older and suddenly you have 45 minutes to yourself again. You’re diving headfirst into perimenopause […]
Keep the Village. Add the Expertise
A hopeful, evidence-based approach to postpartum pelvic floor rehab beyond kegels and internet advice Sometimes at 2am, when you’re sore, leaking, Googling, and wondering if your body will ever feel like yours again… the internet feels like the only place awake with you. And I get it. I really do. Because I’m a huge fan […]
What Does “Good Coordination” Even Mean When It Comes to the Pelvic Floor?
(And No, It’s Not Just About Whether You’re Leaking) You’ve probably heard pelvic floor physical therapists talk about the importance of “good coordination”—especially if you’re navigating postpartum recovery, return to running, or trying to stop leaking when you sneeze or jump. But what does coordination really mean when it comes to your pelvic floor muscles […]
Why Your Pelvic Floor Isn’t a Hammock (And What Actually Holds Up Your Bladder, Urethra, and Vagina)
🚀 Let’s Bust the Hammock Myth If you’ve ever been told your pelvic floor is like a “hammock,” gently swinging between your tailbone and pubic bone, here’s the truth: That hammock? Doesn’t do justice to the dynamic, supportive system that holds up your bladder, uterus, and rectum. Your pelvic floor is more like a responsive […]
