The Good Movement

The Good Movement The Good Movement offers expert pelvic health and oncology physical therapy in Minneapolis–St. Paul. I have worked in the fitness industry for 10 years.

Helping women recover from birth, surgery, cancer treatment, and more with compassionate, evidence-based care. HI- I’m Christa, I am a proud feminist that loves empowering women to feel their best in their own bodies. It’s an industry that I have a love-hate relationship with. This industry was for so long pushing toxic narratives that put ridiculous expectations on women and lead many to develop

an overwhelming feeling of inadequacy, not to mention injury. I struggled with my place in it because I often took a different approach. One that focused on function and education over aesthetics and trends. The good news is the industry has started to shift and we are starting to put more emphasis on quality instead of quantity. We are starting to recognize that skinny does not mean healthy and intensity does not equal a good workout. I believe that knowledge is power. My approach to teaching is to help you understand the WHY behind the movement. This empowers you to continue your work even when I am not around. I don’t believe in being the “keeper” of information. I want to share it and encourage you to educate yourself about your body because you will know more about it than I ever will. If you take a private with me I will not try to pump out as many exercises as possible. I reflect on the body that is in front of me and structure our time together to accomplish your particular goals and focus on function and quality first! I will challenge you just as much mentally as physically. I will ask you to reflect on what is happening in and outside your body to allow you to better connect and understand your body. These concepts will apply to any intense athlete or someone who enjoys a relaxed walk. As a recovering “it’s not a workout if I’m not drenched in sweat” person I understand this will be a challenge to change your mindset but I promise if you give it time and commitment you will see such better results and above all feel GOOD . And that’s what makes it Good Movement. Qualifications-

I’m coming up my three year anniversary of my breast cancer diagnosis. Believe it or not, I am still receiving bills from some of my initial care years ago. It had me reflecting and thinking a little more about the insurance model and why out of network care might be a better option for people, even if they have insurance.

There’s something powerful about seeing a need—and choosing to build something around it 🤍

Lately, the world has felt heavy. And in seasons like motherhood, that weight can feel even more isolating. I kept coming back to the same thought: we weren’t meant to do this alone.

So I created a stroller club here in Saint Paul—a space to get outside, move our bodies, breathe a little deeper, and most importantly… connect. Because this neighborhood is filled with incredible moms who deserve support, friendship, and a village they can lean on.

This is more than a walk. It’s community. It’s showing up as you are. It’s remembering that even on the hard days, you’re not alone.

The amazing is kind enough to offer their support with free coffee.

Remember, it takes a village 💗

I love helping my prenatal patients feel confident and supported going into their due date 💕

“Christa is extremely knowledgeable and my prenatal sessions with her have been invaluable as I prepare for childbirth. She has a soft a nurturing touch that makes each session comfortable. I have the utmost confidence that I will be able to get back to the activities I love after working with her in the postpartum phase. Highly recommend!“

We need to retire the idea that you have to wait 6 weeks to get support after having a baby.

Because here’s what actually happens…
You go through pregnancy, delivery, and the immediate postpartum shift—and then you’re sent home to figure it out on your own.

But early postpartum care matters. A lot.

Seeing a pelvic floor PT before 6 weeks isn’t about jumping into workouts—it’s about:
✨ Helping your body heal (perineum, C-section, pelvic floor)
✨ Reducing pain, pressure, and leaking early
✨ Restoring breath + core connection
✨ Guiding safe return to movement, lifting, and daily life

Waiting often means small issues turn into longer recoveries.

You don’t have to “push through” or guess your way through healing. Support earlier = better outcomes.

If you’re a few weeks postpartum and wondering if it’s too soon… it’s not. 💛
