Today marks an entire year taking up space here on instagram as underthewomanhood. 🎉 ⠀⠀ — ⠀⠀ When I started this account, I hadn’t been working full-time in almost a year since I had Ridley, which was great, but that ole pelvic health passion was not being satisfied. I thought social media would be a great way to reach the masses with pelvic health knowledge and empowerment (and also embarrass my dad 😁). I searched and searched for accounts on IG that were spreading the pelvic health word, but only stumbled across a few, who were taking a different approach than I had planned. So I went for it. And then after telling my dad just two weeks earlier that I would never have my own practice, I decided to go for that too. And, so far, has been my finest career decision👩🏻‍⚕️(picture her with a smile). ⠀⠀ — ⠀⠀ I never imagined I would experience such encouragement and motivation by those of you who follow along, laugh at my stupid jokes, and most of all, take my advice and then tell me that you have been successful at eliminating or preventing certain symptoms! I meeean. Literally fills my heart to the brim with joy💖. I’ve gotten to meet some of you (and treat some of you ❤️) in real life and it just all kind of feels surreal sometimes! ⠀⠀ — ⠀⠀ I am incredibly thankful for each brave soul who likes, comments, shares, messages, or just creeps 👀 on my feed for the information in my posts - the more of us who know about the wonders of pelvic health physical (or occupational) therapy, the more of us will have pelvic hope and will be more likely to seek help. ⠀⠀ — ⠀⠀ And that is my purpose here - to empower you fellow fantastic females to recognize that symptoms of pelvic health dysfunction are not normal and do not have to accompany you for the rest of your life. There is conservative treatment that yes, can get personal, but SO much more importantly, is successful. ⠀⠀ — ⠀⠀ Thank you for your sweet support and love and continue to treat your pelvic health to that ever-so-popular self-love. Cheers 🍻 to another year of happy vaginas!!! #happyvaginahappylife • • • 📷: @eephotography 😍the best. #underthehoodpt #underthewomanhood #pelvichealth #physicaltherapy I might have a membership to Costco just for the samples...anyone else?💁🏻‍♀️ ⠀⠀ — ⠀⠀ (Imagine a very subtle segue here) Speaking of samples, let’s talk about the SAMPLING REFLEX. This is probably my favorite thing we learned about in PT school...which will probably tell you a lot about me. ⠀⠀ — ⠀⠀ What this reflex does is not reflexively buy the crackers your kid loved from the Costco sampling lady, it actually belongs to your rectum 😁 and senses the difference between gas and poop. Depending on it’s findings, it either reflexively contracts your bumhole (aka external anal sphincter) to squeeze for dear life if it senses that 💩 is knocking at your door, OR it let’s your sphincter relax if it only senses a bit of wind 💨 (of course you still have the option of shutting that down too). ⠀⠀ — ⠀⠀ SOMEtimes this treasured sampling reflex can be out of order for a number of reasons and can result in anal incontinence (leaking poo and/or gas): ⠀⠀ 1. Tearing and/or pelvic floor trauma experienced giving birth. ⠀⠀ 2. Chronic constipation. ⠀⠀ 3. Nerve damage. ⠀⠀ — ⠀⠀ Physical therapy can typically address all three causes of sampling reflex dysfunction, depending on the severity of the origin of injury. It’s worth it to see a pelvic health PT in your area before you attempt surgery, medication or other invasive measures. ❤️❤️❤️ • • • 📷: thanks @costco 😁 • • • #underthehoodpt #underthewomanhood #physicaltherapy #pelvichealth #womenshealth #happyvaginahappylife #texas #getpt1st #physicaltherapist #physiotherapist #health #selfcare #poopproblems #momlife #expectingmom #pregnant #postpartum #analincontinence #themotherhood #healthylifestyle #birthstory #healing #constipation #poopgoals #incontinence #holistichealth Is it too late to say, happy Mother’s Day? — We spent the weekend in our hometown visiting our parents and I got to treat some sweet clients! — My parents have no WiFi and hardly any cell service at their house so it’s usually a forced, but needed, social media break. — I promise I will be back soon with new posts and tips! With my husband traveling for work now, I haven’t developed any sense of time management 😬⏰. YET. — Annnnyway, I hope you all had a fabulous weekend, mother or not❤️. xoxoxo • • • 📷: all the kisses on Mother’s Day at my parents house with my go to jumpsuit for all occasions. • • • #underthehoodpt #underthewomanhood #mothersday #babymine #mom #boymom #nowifi #socialmediabreak #getoutside #womenshealth #pelvichealth #paristexas Yeah yeah yeah!

Comment below if you’ll be joining us! • • • #legendairymilk #breastfeeding #postpartum #pregnancy #diastasisrecti #abdominalseparation #underthehoodpt #underthewomanhood No one invited you, Painful Sex. 😑 If you or someone you know experiences this regularly or on occasion, you should probably go check out the piece I wrote for the gals @dameproducts! LiNK in my BiO, babes! • • • • • #dameproducts #underthehoodpt #underthewomanhood #physicaltherapy #getpt1st #intimacy #painfulsex #physicaltherapist #physiotherapy #physiotherapist #blog #blogger #texas #newyork #mom #newmom #postpartum #selfcare #pregnancy #painfree Trampoline Parks: A mother’s pelvic floor’s worst nightmare. 😱 ⠀⠀ — ⠀⠀ Was I nervous? Yes. Did I wear a panty liner? Yes. Did I leak? No. Why? Because I knew how to engage my pelvic floor, my breathing and abdominals appropriately. 🎉 ⠀⠀ — ⠀⠀ I see so many mamas in and out of my practice that avoid trampoline parks due to fear, and/or because they experience leakage of pee, poo or gas. 💩 That fear, those experiences, do NOT have to be YOUR NEW NORMAL! ⠀⠀ — ⠀⠀ Every single past client that has come to me with symptoms of leaking when jumping (on or off trampolines) have been able to return to the trampoline park, fear-free, pad-free and leak-free! 🙌🏻👏🏻 But not without their hard work. ⠀⠀ — ⠀⠀ It does take commitment to implement the recommendations and exercises prescribed, but each one of them will tell you it’s completely worth it. Many of these changes become second nature, so it ends up not even being extra work anyway. 💃🏻🕺🏻 ⠀⠀ — ⠀⠀ If you cringe at the thought of trampoline parks - please go see a pelvic health physical therapist. You will be so happy that you did. Then you will be able to show off your skills to your mom friends and they will want to get help too! Everyone wins 🎉 • • • 📷: @altitudefortworth • • • #underthewomanhood #underthehoodpt #pelvichealth #womenshealth #physicaltherapy #texas #happyvaginahappylife #physicaltherapist #healthylifestyle #getpt1st #physiotherapist #momlife #postpartum #health #selfcare #pregnant #newmom #poopproblems #expectingmom #urinaryincontinence #pee #themotherhood #kellermoms #reallife #analincontinence #diastasisrecti #trampoline #lifewithkids
