Melissa Sundberg, PT - Pelvic Physical Therapist Specializing in pelvic health: pre/postpartum, bowel & bladder, prolapse, pain & sexual dysfunction.

A common misconception about pelvic physical therapy is that all it consists of is Kegel exercises. While pelvic floor muscle exercises are very important they are only ONE very small piece of the care provided by pelvic floor physical therapists. Other treatments utilize neuroscience, knowledge and adjustment of posture and body alignment, behavior retraining, down-training techniques, relaxation

and breathing techniques, manual therapy including myofascial release, scar tissue/adhesion mobilization and release, bowel and bladder retraining, etc. Which treatment is used depends on the specific needs of each patient. These treatments are used as part of a team approach along with OBGYN, nurse midwives, colorectal, urogynecology, urology, gastroenterology, family practice among many other types of providers, to provide patients with multi-disciplinary comprehensive care.

Are you constantly modifying workouts because of leaks, pressure, or pain?

If you're avoiding running, core exercises, HIIT workouts, CrossFit, running, hiking, or even long walks because your body feels "off"…

you're not alone.

So many women are told to simply stop doing the activities they love.

🛑 You don't need to stop exercising.

You need a plan to reconnect with your core, rebuild confidence, and learn how to move in a way that supports your body.

Leaking, heaviness, pain, and fear are common—but they're not something you have to push through or accept as normal.

💜 You deserve to return to exercise feeling strong, supported, and confident again.

Hemorrhoids? Let’s Talk About the Pain in the 🍑 You’ve Been Avoiding.

They’re uncomfortable.

They’re frustrating.

And guess what?

They’re super common—for men and women. Whether you’re postpartum, lifting heavy at the gym, or dealing with constipation, hemorrhoids can happen…and they don’t care how strong you are.

Here’s what to look out for 👇

🔹 Common Symptoms:

- Itching or burning around the a**s
- Swelling or a small lump near your re**um
- Pain when you sit or have a bowel movement
- Bright red blood on toilet paper (small or large amounts)
- Feeling like you still need to “go,” even when you don’t

💡 What Can Help:
💩 If you’ve had a baby (even years ago), straining and pelvic floor tension may be part of the problem. Learning how to coordinate your breath, posture, and pelvic muscles can make a huge difference.
💩 Sitting for long hours or lifting weights while holding your breath (Valsalva) can spike pressure. Better lifting strategies and pelvic PT can help reduce that “heavy” feeling and irritation.

✨ Hemorrhoids are a symptom, not just an inconvenience. Your pelvic floor, bowel habits, breath mechanics, and posture all play a role.

You don’t have to suffer in silence—or sit on a donut pillow forever.

Let’s treat the root cause and get you some relief.

Our pelvic health therapists work with men and women and can HELP YOU! 😉

📝Quiz:

People were asked - could they correctly identify the p***s? Could they correctly identify the cl****is?

Can you??? 🤔

As many as 3/4 of women can’t or**sm from vaginal pe*******on alone.

In fact, just 8% of women can reliably or**sm this way, studies estimate.

This might be the only real explanation we need for what is known among s*x researchers and s*xologists as the “or**sm gap,” the fact that heteros*xual men or**sm during s*x two to three times as frequently as heteros*xual women do.Women’s bodies are NOT the problem.

The problem is that most of us don’t have a full understanding of how they work or where their s*xual organs are.

🚴‍♀️ Cycling & Your Pelvic Floor 🚴‍♂️

Did you know your bike seat can have a big impact on your pelvic health?

Whether you're training for a race, enjoying Alaska's trails, or crushing a spin class, spending hours in the saddle can sometimes contribute to pelvic floor symptoms if your setup isn't working for your body.

Here are 4 things to keep in mind:

✅ Stand up regularly. Aim to stand and pedal for 30–60 seconds every 10 minutes to reduce pressure on the pelvic floor and improve blood flow.

✅ Choose your seat wisely. Not all bike seats are created equal. Research has shown that certain saddles can decrease blood flow to the pelvic region by more than 20% in as little as 20 minutes. Comfort matters!

✅ Check your posture. Are you sitting evenly on your sit bones (the bony parts of your pelvis) or are you constantly rolling forward onto your p***c bone? Small positioning changes can make a big difference.

✅ Pay attention to symptoms. Numbness, perineal pain, pelvic pressure, tenderness, bladder changes, or s*xual and erectile dysfunction are not signs you should ignore.

Cycling shouldn't leave you sore, numb, or worried about your pelvic health.

If you're noticing symptoms, consider getting a professional bike fit and connecting with a pelvic health physical therapist.

Sometimes a few simple adjustments can make riding much more comfortable—and help you stay in the saddle longer.

🚲 Ride strong. Ride comfortably.
