If I had a penny for every time I heard a provider or patient say these...

After 3 (4?) rounds of hip/pelvic pain (THANKS, Relaxin), I made it to the finish line of the 10k with enough energy to spare. Running postpartum and breastfeeding has definitely been a different journey compared to pre-baby days, but I am so happy to get out and move, and create memories with family and friends.

On to the half marathon training!

Izzo 5k 💚

First running event postpartum, and I can't help but be proud of myself for how intentional my training was to get to this place. From working on deep core and hip stability early postpartum to building a VERY gradual walking and running program. To be here without leakage, prolapse symptoms, nor pelvic pain feels HUGE. For once, I was actually a good patient 😅 and it paid off.

I'm grateful for such a fun and supportive community, and can't wait to build this running game even more this summer.

Love yourself, including your pelvic floor!.

Pain with intimacy, like many pelvic issues, is common, but definitely should not be accepted as normal! If you are holding your breath this Valentine's day about being physical with your partner, consider pelvic floor physical therapy to help overactive and painful muscles relax, so that seggs can be painless (dare I say fun?) again!

DM, email, or text to set up your first consultation appointment!

So many pelvic health misconceptions, so little time...

While I might be openly weeping as my maternity leave comes to an end 😭, I am excited to get Great Lakes Pelvic Rehab back up and running to see people for their pelvic dysfunction, hip pain, back pain, and more! Even more exciting, I am now in a physical location with in East Lansing ❤️ I will still see some people in the home on a case by case basis, but being in my own space allows me to treat more people with more resources (hellooo dry needling cart, goodbye "box o'needles!")

Are you sick of mapping out every toilet on your travels? Sick of persistent leakage and pad purchases? Wanting to improve core strength after having a baby? (Same same)

This is less meant to be fear mongering, and more to pose the point that pelvic floor dysfunction is so prevalent, and people do not always realize it. There are the obvious signs and symptoms like leaking when you sneeze, or pain with seggs. But then there are the less obvious signs like mystery persistent hip pain, tailbone pain with sitting, or feeling like you can't get your entire poo out. When I go to my advanced pelvic floor classes (where we practice on each other), it is rare when someone doesn't walk away with something to work on. As pelvic floor therapists!

The beautiful web of muscles down there have so many implications to the rest of the body. And even though they can cause all kinds of trouble, they are treatable!

Do you think you have pelvic floor dysfunction? Or perhaps a lingering low back, hip, or abdominal pain?

This exercise is so simple, but so effective for helping with abdominal separation/DRA! It helps to coordinate the breathing diaphragm with the rest of the core muscles, including the pelvic floor, abdominals, and spinal stabilizers. As this gets easier, it has some really lovely progressions to maximize core strength.
