October is National Physical Therapy Month! 🌿 Let’s meet our therapists!

First up, Dr. Aubrey Kern!

Aubrey is the owner of Flourish Pelvic Therapy and is passionate about creating a space where people feel seen, heard, and understood—without judgment.

She genuinely loves getting to know her patients as people, not just a collection of symptoms. She’s always digging deeper, connecting the dots, and trying to understand why something is happening rather than just chasing symptoms. Her goal? Helping people find meaningful, long-term relief and get back to doing the things they love.

Around the office, you’re most likely to find her treating barefoot, tending to her (many) plants, or probably talking about her three boys. Outside of Flourish, she’s embracing her role as chaos coordinator of those same three boys! 🌱

A little bit of science, a lot of curiosity, and usually no shoes. That’s Aubrey! 💚

Did you know your internal organs are supposed to glide and slide near one another every time you move and breathe?

When conditions like Endometriosis cause internal inflammation or scar tissue, those organs can lose their natural mobility. These restrictions pull on surrounding nerves and pelvic floor muscles, often driving persistent pelvic pain, bloating, and digestive discomfort.

Visceral Manipulation is a gentle hands-on technique we use in pelvic floor therapy to address these specific tissue restrictions and restore movement to the organs themselves.

Living with pelvic pain is exhausting. Not just physically, but mentally and emotionally.

When pain persists, it changes how you move through the world:
• You start worrying about which daily activities might cause a flare-up.
• You avoid things you used to love doing.
• You feel frustrated and drained after seeing multiple providers without getting real answers.

And I want to be really clear about something: That does not mean your pain is "all in your head."

When pain becomes chronic, it literally alters how your nervous system responds to and protects your body.

True healing requires a dual approach:
1. Evaluating physical contributors—the muscles, tissues, joints, and alignment.
2. Helping your nervous system feel safe again.

Your mental health matters. Your stress matters. Your fear around pain matters. Those factors deserve to be integrated into your treatment plan—not dismissed as the cause of your pain.

At Flourish, we look at the whole picture so you can get your life back.

Save this post for the days you need a reminder that your pain is real, and share it with someone who needs to hear this today.

If you’ve ever been told to “just relax” your pelvic muscles when you’re in pain, you know how frustrating and unhelpful that advice is.

When your body deals with chronic pain or inflammation, your pelvic floor goes into protection mode. This involuntary guarding reflex happens automatically, and simply trying to "think relaxed thoughts" won't override it.

To break the cycle of chronic tension, we have to work with your nervous system and use targeted movement to send signals of safety back to the tissue.

Swipe through to see why pelvic tightness isn't just in your head.

If you live with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), you know that a flare isn't just local—it's a whole-body event. But many people are surprised when an allergic reaction, environmental trigger, or histamine spike shows up as sudden pelvic pain, bladder pressure, or deep pelvic tightness.

Your pelvic floor muscles do exactly what they are designed to do when tissue feels threatened: they guard and clench.

What can you do? Focus on gentle diaphragmatic breathing, gentle heat, and nervous system down-regulation.

Our therapists at Flourish Pelvic Therapy can help you learn how to calm your nervous system so your body feels safe enough to stop clenching, giving you gentle ways to ease tightness and pain without triggering more inflammation.

First day of filming with my friend to create a program for those immediate post partum mamas (6-8 weeks out)! This will be a great merger of exercises appropriate for this stage of healing with some pelvic floor education!

When your nervous system is feeling overwhelmed, the pelvic floor can sometimes respond by holding more tension

Aubrey demonstrates 3 gentle pelvic floor releases that can be done lying down while focusing on breathing, relaxation, and letting the pelvic floor soften rather than actively contracting it.

Save this video for the next time you're having a POTS flare and getting upright feels like too much.

And remember, pelvic floor symptoms are not something you have to just live with. Our pelvic floor therapists can help figure out whether your muscles need strengthening, coordination work, relaxation or a combination of approaches.

Living with EDS, POTS, or MCAS means your body's alarm system is constantly on high alert.

When joints lack passive stability, the pelvic floor steps in to hold everything together. This can lead to tightness, pelvic pain, and urinary urgency.

At Flourish Pelvic Therapy we focus on getting to know you and the goals for your body. We work together to help your body feel safe enough to let the tension go.

Period pain doesn’t always stay in the pelvis.

If you experience low back pain around your period, your pelvic floor may not be the only piece of the puzzle.

Inflammation, swelling, bloating, and changes happening around your cycle can affect structures connected to the low back, including:

• The uterosacral ligaments
• The area around the left kidney and ovarian vein
• The large intestine and its connective tissue attachments

This can be especially relevant for people experiencing endometriosis, adhesions, or scar tissue.

The good news?

Pelvic health physical therapy may be able to help identify what is contributing to your symptoms and determine whether manual therapy or other treatment approaches may be appropriate.

If your low back pain gets significantly worse during your period, send me a DM. Let’s talk about what you’re experiencing.

Could your favorite drink be making your bladder symptoms worse?

Most people assume bladder urgency is just something they have to live with. But what you drink & eat every day may be playing a bigger role than you realize.

If you’ve ever found yourself constantly scouting out bathrooms, rushing to make it in time, or feeling like the urge comes out of nowhere, this is worth watching.

In this video, Aubrey explains how certain beverages and foods can irritate the bladder and why a simple change might help calm those sudden urges.

Watch until the end to learn what she recommends if this is you?
