✨The Foot Bones Connected to the Pelvic Bones✨

Here at The Balanced Momtality I am ALL about WHOLE BODY health in every aspect (mental, physical, spiritual and head-to-toe, inside and out etc)… so while I specialize in Pelvic Health, I also love treating any and all other orthopedic conditions! But even when someone comes in with a “pelvic problem”, I look at the ENTIRE system… including the feet 🦶🏼 because EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED and did you know…

🤔Our feet play a huge role in our pelvic health! They are our connection to the ground and control a lot of our we move around and navigate our day to day. They function to absorb shock and create stability as we propel forward. And based on their alignment, strength and control they either help stabilize and engage the pelvis or when the feet are not creating the stability or shock absorption necessary, they can cause those forces to go up to the pelvis and/or can hold the pelvis in a posture that inhibits the pelvic muscles, causing strain on joints and ligaments. 😳

So while most times I find issues in the feet with pelvic issues like pelvic pain or incontinence…I also find pelvic issues when I am treating someone for foot pain like plantar fasciitis.

🤷🏼‍♀️Which came first… the foot issue or the pelvic issue? In many cases it’s a chicken or the egg situation… in other cases we can problem solve it out. Either way, you want to address both! There are also many neurological connections between the feet and pelvic floor so…

🦶🏼One of my first tips for foot health is to WAKE UP YOUR 🦶🏼

In our culture shoe 👟 wear is required.. but most shoes 👠 are narrow and stiff which jams your joints together (later creating bunions… yup 100% avoidable❗️) and also turns off the intrinsic muscles in the feet to help absorb shock and support‼️

🦶🏼Go barefoot as it’s comfortable and start FEELING the ground and realigning your joints using toe spreaders like these from ( not an ad) or lace a towel/pillow case.

🦶🏼Imagine Baby feet 🦶🏼

THATS THE GOAL!

For more guidance on how much barefoot time is appropriate for YOU seek a PT!

Do you like being barefoot? 🦶🏼

✨BOOOOO-TERUS🎃✨

But don’t be afraid of this ghost… it’s friendly 😬 Except for one week of every month 😜 🩸 My love for women’s health overflowed into my pumpkin carving this year 😬

Any day is a good to celebrate the SUPERHUMAN POWERS we have as women!! 🦸🏼‍♀️

Taking a role in this Pelvic Floor world has been a learning/growing journey for me as I break down my own barriers and taboos. I want pelvic health not to be taboo so people can seek help and not be afraid… thus I post on ALL things pelvic and yet with some posts I still feel that sense of cultural shame when I talk about s3x or v@gin@s… I mean s**t I can’t even spell the words normally or IG deletes the post because our culture has made it SUCH A TABOO! and then I feel shame for even ever feeling shame… but NO MORE SHAME!! It’s normal to feel uncomfortable as we rewrite what we feel is important and necessary… EVEN if it goes against the cultural grain.

So for myself and for my patients… I will preach about v@gin@s, uteruses, s3x, l**e, and all things pelvic health and other health as long as it’s going to help educate and inform and empower other women/people so they can better know their bodies and how to stay healthy and strong!! 💪🏼 NO MATTER HOW EMBARRASSING IT MIGHT FEEL 💪🏼

I have broken down so many of my own barriers by stepping into this role… but my work is far from over… so next time you feel too embarrassed to ask a question or mention something to me or another pelvic health provider… just know WE are also working on our own journey to accept and love our entire being and being open about talking about what ALL that means. We’re human too… but NOTHING is TMI in a visit with me 😉

BE BRAVE!!! SPEEK YOUR TRUTH!!! TAKE ACTION ON YOUR HEALTH/LIFE!!

I’m proud of my BooTerus so it needed a permanent place on the feed! 🤗 Your welcome! 😘

I wanna know:.. what’s something you have been afraid to ask or mention or post or do… but have t because of shame or feeing like it might be “wrong” despite knowing it is necessary??? 👇🏼👇🏼

✨LOS ALAMOS ✨

Born and raised in Los Alamos, NM and left for college in Albuquerque 12 yrs ago, where I have been ever since. I have grown to love Albuquerque and it has become home, having met the love of my life and created our sweet little family here and my business baby TBM. ABQ Is where my PT journey began.

However, we are ready for our next chapter… a chapter where our kids can ride bikes in the neighborhood without worry of being kidnapped (only worry is now mountain lions and bears 😳), where our kids can get a private school-quality education for free, and where the grandparents are just up the street 🙏🏼

I actually loved growing up in Los Alamos and I’m excited to have my kids get the small town childhood I got to have. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous about moving back to my hometown, especially now as an adult and with my own small business… but I also know that this move is going to be GREAT for all of us… I’m mostly excited to have more support, because if there is anything this last year and a half has taught me is I NEED IT! I need it to be a better mom, wife, business owner, and human being!

So this December we’re packing up and moving up north back to good ol’ Los. 😬😳🤪

🔅What does this mean for ABQ?!🔅
I am STILL treating patients in ABQ through both telehealth AND will be doing monthly/bimonthly visits down here starting in January and I am scheduling normally until the holidays.

🔅What does this mean for Los Alamos?!🔅
It means that I will be physically up there full time, offering IN PERSON hands-on physical therapy for all pregnant/postpartum mommas and women at any stage of life!!

Im excited to get re-integrated into the sweet little community of Los Alamos and see what it has in store for The Balanced Momtality and for my family ☺️

If you’re in the ABQ area it’s not too late to get in person visits in before the end of the year!

If you’re in the Los Alamos area I will be scheduling for January appointments starting in December… KEEP AN EYE OUT!!! 😬 And PLEASE SHARE MY PAGE with other mommas in the Los Alamos/white rock area so they know that there are more pelvic floor services available to help them! 🙏🏼
