🐱 Cat Parents: Don't Forget About Your Pelvic Floor! 🐾

Think only babies make your pelvic floor work hard? Think again. Cats are experts at the sneak attack!

1️⃣ Lifting cats & litter – Your 10 lb floof plus heavy boxes of litter? That adds up fast. Poor lifting mechanics = extra pressure on your pelvic floor.

2️⃣ Bladder habits & retraining – Can’t move because Andarna and Tairn have taken up permanent residence on your lap? Delaying bathroom trips can lead to less-than-ideal bladder habits.

3️⃣ Weird sleep positions – You'll twist, contort, and squeeze around your furry roommate for the promise of bedtime cuddles… but this can throw off alignment and contribute to musculoskeletal pain.

That's why — by popular demand! — we are now offering pelvic floor physical therapy for pet pawrents!

Okay, okay — mostly a joke 😹

But really: lifting, posture, and core strength matter.

Whether it’s a baby, a cat, or a laundry basket… your body deserves support 💜

Empower Yourself PT is here to help your pelvic floor stay strong and relaxed—no matter what’s in your lap.

✔️ Enhancing mobility & reducing flare-ups
✔️ Providing tools for long-term symptom management
If you’re struggling with endo symptoms, you don’t have to do it alone. We’re here to support you! 💜

Dr. Karen explains why kegels may not be such a good idea for those of us struggling with endometriosis. Pelvic floor physical therapy can help you learn how to unclench those muscles and relax the pelvic floor.

💛 Endometriosis Awareness Month: It's A Pain Cycle 💛

The unrelenting pain of endometriosis causes your body to develop unhelpful muscle patterns:

🔸 You hunch over
🔸 Your abs tense up
🔸 Your pelvic floor tightens
🔸 Your tailbone tucks
🔸 Your breathing changes

This creates a pain cycle that makes movement, comfort, and even daily life incredibly difficult. Breaking free from this pattern is hard—but possible. 💪 As pelvic floor physical therapists, we help release tension, improve mobility, and give you the tools to reclaim your body.

You don’t have to live in this cycle. There is hope, help, and healing. 💛

💬 Drop a comment if you’ve experienced this pain cycle or want to learn more!
