✨welcome✨

If you don’t know me, my name is Sarah Hocking and I am a PT Assistant at Magelitz Clinic Conservative Medicine ➡️ we are a cashed based physical therapy clinic in Chatham, IL.

We offer in person, one hour sessions, one on one treatments, for a flat rate fee. There are no surprise bills along the way. You know what you are paying for. We also offer virtual and in-home visits as well!

Let’s break it down ⬇️
• you do not need a doctors order or referral to be seen, if you want to go that route first, by all means do it
• you can literally just send us a text (618-720-0130) to chat with us, talk about schedule availability, and ask questions any time of day
• since I am trained in the SFMA, functional movement assessments are how I approach every person
• I make notes along the way and tell you what’s going on during the process
• I’m also trained through Herman and Wallace for pelvic floor exams, if I feel that would be appropriate
• after a total body assessment, I work on anything that needs manual work (hands on, passive movement, using cupping/scraping or grabbing the doc for dry needling)
• then we get to the exercise part ➡️ you will leave here with some homework to do ➡️ I expect you to do this until our next check in
• you have access to text, call, email me any time with questions, to chat, update me on progress or regression
• you will not hurt my feelings if you’ve been doing the exercises and it’s not working, I will give you new ones to try
• my goal is to get you out of pain, move and feel better, give you the tools that you need for preventative care ➡️ so you DON’T have to see me!
• maintenance tune ups are the end goal, or really just to text us when you need us 🫶🏼

If you’ve made it to the end, you’re a real G 😅. I’m always happy to answer any questions or just to chat 😊

✨pelvic floor therapy ✨

Bladder leakage, back pain & stiffness, history of ankles issues, can’t stand on one leg, can’t squat very well…does any of this ring a bell? 🔔

If you’ve tried pelvic floor physically therapy, and all you got were Kegels with no results, THIS IS WHY. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

You need a zoomed out approach to address the entire body from head to toe. Just because pelvic floor issues are in the “middle” does not 🚫 mean this is where the only problem exists, or even originates from.

This person needed lots of movememt and stability in her body, with just a sprinkle of pelvic floor muscle recruitment (in addition to breathing). 🌬️

Happy body 🤝🏼 happy pelvic floor.

✨ workkkk ✨

Things I keep within arms reach in the clinic:
•cupping/scraping - muscle recovery tools
•workout equipment - bands, weights, exercise balls, all the things
•H2O because hydration, babes.

All with *unmanicured* nails because when you’re an internal pelvic therapist, IYKYK 💋

Just checking 😏

I just want y’all to know that:

🌬️ slowing down and breathing can go SUCH a long way, especially if you are pregnant, postpartum, have low back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, etc.

🏃🏻‍♀️ WARM UP FOR EXERCISE. Just do it and don’t fight me on it.

🏋🏻‍♀️ if you’ve been given home exercises for homework…ya better be doing them! I am very individualized with my exercise programming, so it is tailored for each person.

🤫 there is never ever too much information that you can tell me. Even if you think something is embarrassing or not relevant. It may actually be a missing piece to the puzzle 🧩

🤰🏼you DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT have to wait for 6 weeks to start exercising after having a baby. There are many things you can do starting day 1 in the hospital, and the means of delivery does not matter.

Teenager with knee pain, what can you do? 🤔

A LOT!!!!

We see this a ton in the clinic ➡️ very active kiddos between 12-14 years old going through a growth spurt.

This usually involves some sort of stability or motor control issue within the core, pelvis, & hip. There can obviously be many other reasons, but these are the main ones that we see over and over again!

Long story short: we can help.
