Having children changes your body- get the help you need afterwards!

Brittany Mahomes, wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, shared a candid piece of advice for other women with children.

🔪Surgery is not the only option for diastasis recti treatment!

This is a real Google review from one of our clients who sought us out for a specialized treatment called visceral manipulation learned from the Barral Institute It helps the body let go of guarding patterns in the abdominal wall gently and effectively.

Everyone's healing looks different, but for Beth, it reduced the pain she was having in her abdomen, but also it also quickly closed the gap between her abdominal muscles.

No, the gap did not come back if you're wondering!

Along with core exercises curated just for you, our clinic can help you heal your diastasis recti and stop worrying about your core.

DM us to get started on closing your gap today!

👀 watch movement and breathing patterns to give you the right exercises for where you are (and make sure you are doing them correctly)

When asked, “why pelvic floor physical therapy?”or “why women’s health?”,
my answer is always the same.

👩 Women of all ages, moms especially, always seem to put others first. They spend so much time taking care of those around them they often forget themselves. My work as a pelvic PT creates an outlet to love on the very people that need it most and provide care to such an intimate part of their life to keep them going for those in their life 🥹

🎁 It’s almost like helping women is a gift that keeps on giving.

👶🏻 As if my job wasn’t already a huge passion, in August I birthed my first born son at home in my bedroom with my amazing husband by my side. I’m a huge believer in woman birthing in power and being informed on the true capabilities of a woman’s body.

🤰🏼I am doula certified and work with moms to bring beautiful babies into the world. I love to encourage moms to follow their desires for birth. My patients in the PT world are what drove me to pursue being a doula to better serve them.

💪🏼 I found a never-before-seen muscle in a cadaver of a human body. As it was never documented prior to my publishment I got to name it; I chose Psoas Quartus. 🤓

1️⃣ in 🔟 Did you know one in ten women have endometriosis!!! Holy cow these numbers are shocking but then again not really considering the amount of women struggling with debilitating pain.

❤️My heart is with these women. Endo is so misunderstood, even by the medical community and women are not receiving the care they need. I believe I stand with informed provides to stop the misinformation and provide quality care to include appropriate referrals.

✈️ When not in the clinic I love to travel with my family, spend time with friends and develop my leadership skills. Fun fact: my 2 month old has already been to 6 states and experienced two flights.

🧑🏼‍⚕️ I am truly passionate about the pelvic floor and women functioning in health. This includes hormones, fertility, sexual function and much more. Pelvic floor PT is a resource that is underutilized and I’m thankful for its place in my life.

💭 When I think about it, I’m the first patient I ever treated for Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and POTS.

👧Growing up, I learned through trial and error, what my body needed to allow me to function on a day to day basis.

I was told there was “nothing wrong” with me because my labs came back normal, but I knew there was no way this was normal. 🧐

I constantly have to educate my own healthcare providers on my conditions, so they can treat me. Many physical therapists learned little to nothing about EDS in school (thankfully this seems to be changing).

🏋️‍♀️I've had so many doctors tell me, "Do not to lift anything over this many pounds.” (Spoiler alert: they're wrong.)

😍I love specializing in treating connective tissue disorders and dysautonomia because I can relate to patients and give them advice from both a provider and patient perspective.

💪I’m also a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, and have a history training athletes at all levels.

🐶 In my free time you can find me spending time with my husband, Justin, and my two pups, Sadie and Roscoe.

Feel free to DM or text us at 404-210-7774 any questions and to learn how we can help.

💼Pelvic health is more than a job, it’s a calling for me- in fact, my journey began with a dream where I saw myself working as a pelvic PT.

In it, my patient placed her hand on my arm, her eyes filled with tears, and she thanked me for helping her. 🥹

It was such a powerful image, I quickly left the field of education to pursue it!

🤯True story- this scenario actually happened in my clinic last April, but what I didn’t see in my dream is that we would both cry. 🥰

Having grown up and worked in Paulding and Bartow counties, I knew personally how difficult it was to travel 🚗 into Atlanta for pelvic floor rehab.

🤩It has been an absolute dream come true- literally and figuratively- to have an office centrally located for my friends and neighbors in Dallas, Hiram, Cartersville, Marietta, Kennesaw, and Acworth.

✈️ I love, love, love to learn, and I regularly travel the country to bring advanced techniques and knowledge back to my clinic.

🤓I hold an Advanced Pelvic Health Certification (PHC) following the completion of a year-long intensive training program through Evidence in Motion in pelvic floor treatment for all genders.

💪 ​I am also a Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist and have completed hundreds of hours of postgraduate coursework in visceral mobilization for the gastrointestinal and urinary systems, dry needling for orthopedic and pelvic floor concerns, surgical rehabilitation, trauma-informed care, and sexual function from Herman and Wallace, the Barral Institute, and other organizations. 

🥾When not in the clinic, I enjoy pilates (looking at you ), yoga, backpacking, and kayaking. I live in Hiram with my two sons- Will (17) and Charlie (10)- and with my amazing husband, Allen, on a small hobby farm.

👩‍⚕️I have had the honor and pleasure of helping over 1000 patients heal and connect back to their life, and I’d love to help you, too!

Yes! I love seeing providers recommending pelvic floor therapy DURING pregnancy to help keep mom moving and feeling great and get ready for birth!

Kudos OB2me for doing so, and check out this practice is you are looking for a Midwife who is focused on providing you with the best care in a concierge model!

Did you know that can provide numerous benefits during and after pregnancy? 👶

Pelvic floor therapy is a form of physical therapy that focuses on the muscles, ligaments, and tissues that support the pelvic organs. It can help alleviate common issues like incontinence, pelvic pain, and even improve sexual function. 😍

During pregnancy, pelvic floor therapy can also help prepare the muscles for childbirth and aid in recovery. It's never too early or too late to start pelvic floor therapy! 👍

If you're experiencing any pelvic floor issues or want to prevent them from occurring, talk to your healthcare provider about pelvic floor therapy.

Take care of your bodies, mamas! Pelvic floor therapy can be a game-changer for your health and well-being. 💖

Pelvic floor therapy is for men, too!

Had an amazing weekend with .susieg learning about men’s pelvic pain and sexual health.

So many people are unaware that pelvic floor therapy can help men with:

🍆penile, testicular, scrotal or other pelvic pain
🚀 premature or painful ej*******on
🍑rectal or a**l discomfort
🩹recovery from prostatectomy
💧urinary leakage or difficulty

💩 Did you know your pelvic floor includes the muscles that help control your bowel movements?

🍑 Your a**s (not the planet, but the sphincter at your bum) is a muscle and there are other deeper pelvic floor muscles that can be overactive, painful, or uncoordinated!

This can lead to:
💩feeling like your p**p is "stuck"
💩having fewer or harder bowel movements than you'd like
💩a**l pain
💩wiping and wiping and still having stool on the tissue
💩difficulty controlling gas
💩hemorrhoids or fissures that don't resolve
💩leaking stool

DM us 💩 to learn more about how pelvic floor therapy can help with bowel issues!

🎥 But that’s not how they have babies in movies!

🤷‍♀️When I have private sessions for birth prep with my patients, I hear this almost every time from the birthing person and/or their partner!

👋 So then we feel the pelvis and how it moves to really understand the “why” and “when” behind knees out versus knees in.

👶During delivery, the baby makes its way through different stations (vertical positions in the pelvis). When/if you have cervical checks during delivery, your provider can tell you your station along with dilation.

👶When the baby is at negative stations (higher in the pelvis), we can encourage baby to enter the pelvis more by opening our knees.

👶However, once baby has made its way to positive stations and is nearing the pelvic outlet through the vaginal opening, we can encourage softening and create more room by bringing our knees inward.

Try it and comment below with what you felt!

Our birth prep sessions can be done locally in-person or virtually worldwide. DM or text 404-210-7774 to learn more.

Repeat after me: I DO NOT HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL I HAVE MY BABY TO DO PELVIC FLOOR THERAPY.

Pelvic PT can be amazing after birth for regaining coordination, addressing scar tissue, and returning to exercise.

However, pelvic therapy can help WHILE you're pregnant to address back, SI joint, and p***c symphysis pain and by maintaining mobility and strength.

We also get you ready for the big day by:
⭐️teaching birthing positions
⭐️practicing comfort measures
⭐️stretching to prevent tearing
⭐️getting comfortable with pushing
⭐️and so much more.

So, we’re you referred to pelvic PT during pregnancy? Comment below!
