As your urinary bladder fills, it doesn’t just stretch—it gets significantly heavier. An empty bladder weighs only about 30–50 grams, but when full it can reach roughly 400–600 grams (close to 1 pound). That added weight places increasing downward pressure on the pelvic floor, which acts like a supportive hammock at the base of your pelvis. This system helps support your organs and maintain continence. When the bladder is fuller, everyday actions like coughing, sneezing, laughing, jumping, lifting, or even rushing to the bathroom create even more pressure. If the pelvic floor isn’t coordinating properly—whether it’s too weak, too tense, or not responding at the right time—leakage can occur. Pelvic floor therapy goes beyond just Kegels; it focuses on restoring proper muscle function through breathing, pressure management, strengthening, and relaxation so your body can work as a coordinated system again. If you’re experiencing leaks, it’s a sign your body needs better support—not something you simply have to live with.

We check on the baby… but who’s checking on mom?

Postpartum recovery is more than just “waiting 6–8 weeks.”
If you’re dealing with leaking, core weakness, pain, or discomfort—this is common, but not normal.

Pelvic floor therapy should be a must for every new mom.

At Get Well Physical Therapy, we help you heal fully—so you can feel strong, supported, and confident again.

A hernia in men and diastasis recti in women share a common foundation—both stem from weakness and increased pressure within the abdominal wall. In both conditions, you may notice a visible bulge, especially with straining, lifting, or core activation, due to the inability of the abdominal muscles to properly contain internal pressure. Contributing factors often include heavy lifting, chronic coughing, poor core coordination, weight fluctuations, and in women, pregnancy and postpartum changes. At their core, both reflect a system that is not effectively managing intra-abdominal pressure. This is why restoring proper core function, breathing mechanics, and load management is essential in both cases to prevent progression and support long-term stability.

POV: Patients asking if I can fix 10 years of pain in 2 visits… waive the copay… and open the clinic 24/7 😅

Listen… I would LOVE to be a magician.
But I’m a physical therapist — not a miracle worker.

Healing takes time.
Consistency matters.
Copays exist (and no, I don’t keep them 😭).
And yes… we do have office hours.

But what I can promise?
✔️ Evidence-based treatment
✔️ Honest guidance
✔️ A plan that actually works
✔️ And a team that truly cares

We’ll get you better — the right way. Not the rushed way.

Your sits under your ribs and helps you breathe. Your pelvic floor muscles sit like a supportive hammock at the bottom of your pelvis, holding up your bladder, uterus (or prostate), and re**um. When you take a in, your diaphragm moves downward — and your pelvic floor should gently relax and stretch. When you breathe out, your diaphragm rises — and your pelvic floor should gently lift back up.

Think of them like a team moving in rhythm. This teamwork helps manage pressure in your abdomen, supports your spine, and helps prevent leaking urine. If the is too tight or too weak, this natural rhythm can become disrupted.

Practicing slow, deep belly breathing can help restore this coordination and improve strength, , and bladder control.
