A full day of talking about some of Dr. Aubrey’s favorite topics! 💚

Dr. Aubrey spent the day at the University of Dayton with their Doctor of Physical Therapy students, lecturing on pelvic pain, sexual dysfunction, men’s health, pediatrics, and gender-affirming care.

Pelvic health is something Aubrey is incredibly passionate about, and having the opportunity to share her knowledge and experience with the next generation of physical therapists is something she truly loves!

There is SO much more to pelvic health than most people realize, and helping future clinicians better understand these complex, often overlooked areas of care is such a rewarding part of what she does.

Always grateful for the opportunity to return to UD and help educate the next generation of PTs! ❤️💙

Men’s pelvic health deserves more attention. 👏

Pelvic floor dysfunction isn’t always about weakness. Sometimes, the muscles are working overtime and struggling to relax.

Pelvic pain, bladder symptoms, bowel dysfunction, and sexual concerns can all have a pelvic floor component.

At Flourish, we look at the bigger picture—not just the muscles, but how your nervous system, abdomen, hips, and pelvic floor are working together.

Common doesn’t mean normal. And you don’t have to just live with it.

11/03/2026

If you’ve been dealing with persistent groin, hip, or lower pelvic pain that won’t go away no matter how much you stretch—this is for you.

When pelvic floor muscles become hyperactive (chronically tense and unable to relax), they compress surrounding nerves and blood vessels. This creates deep, aching discomfort in the groin, tailbone, or lower abdomen that easily gets mistaken for a sports injury or persistent strain.

Why aggressive stretching or workouts don't work:

Forcing tight, guarded muscles to work through pain often makes the spasm worse. Real relief requires down-training: releasing high-tension muscle trigger points, calming your nervous system, and restoring balanced movement patterns.

At Flourish, we provide targeted, specialized evaluations for men’s pelvic health to help you get back to living without constant discomfort.

Endometriosis is SO much more than the lesions we can see. 🌿

New research from The Jackson Laboratory is giving us a closer look at how endometriosis lesions interact with the nervous and immune systems—and how those interactions may contribute to chronic pain.

One of the most interesting findings? Pain-sensing nerves and inflammatory immune cells can interact in ways that may perpetuate inflammation and pain.

This is one reason we need to look beyond just the size, number, or location of lesions when understanding someone’s symptoms.

At Flourish, we know that pelvic pain is rarely about just one tissue or one system. Your muscles, nerves, connective tissues, and nervous system all deserve consideration.

Because your symptoms are real, your experience matters, and your treatment should reflect the complexity of your body.

Going into laparoscopic or excision surgery for pelvic pain can feel overwhelming, BUT you don't have to navigate it unprepared.

Pre-operative pelvic physical therapy helps prepare your tissues, calms your autonomic nervous system, and gives you actionable tools for post-op recovery before you ever step into the operating room.

Swipe through to see 3 ways pre-op pelvic floor therapy sets your body up for a smoother healing process.

Dr. Aubrey was at the University of Dayton’s DPT program lecturing on pelvic health PT today! 💙♥️

October is National Physical Therapy Month! 🌿 Let’s meet our therapists!

Next up, Dr. Kelsey!

Kelsey is a pelvic floor physical therapist at Flourish who loves helping people better understand their bodies and realize they don’t have to just live with symptoms they’ve been told are “normal.”

She loves getting to know her patients, hearing their stories, and reminding them that their symptoms are real, valid, and worth addressing. Her goal? Helping people feel empowered through education, understanding, and finding solutions that actually make a difference.

Around the office, you’re likely to hear her reminding patients that Kegels aren’t the answer to everything, or explaining that the pelvic floor is often “the kid in the group project who ends up doing most of the work.” 😂

Outside of Flourish, Kelsey is an old lady at heart! She loves crocheting while watching old movies, baking cookies, and heading out on camping adventures with her family. She’s also a mom of three who keep her on her toes!

A little bit of education, a lot of compassion, and some pretty great analogies. That’s Kelsey! 💚

October is National Physical Therapy Month! 🌿 Let’s meet our therapists!

First up, Dr. Aubrey Kern!

Aubrey is the owner of Flourish Pelvic Therapy and is passionate about creating a space where people feel seen, heard, and understood—without judgment.

She genuinely loves getting to know her patients as people, not just a collection of symptoms. She’s always digging deeper, connecting the dots, and trying to understand why something is happening rather than just chasing symptoms. Her goal? Helping people find meaningful, long-term relief and get back to doing the things they love.

Around the office, you’re most likely to find her treating barefoot, tending to her (many) plants, or probably talking about her three boys. Outside of Flourish, she’s embracing her role as chaos coordinator of those same three boys! 🌱

A little bit of science, a lot of curiosity, and usually no shoes. That’s Aubrey! 💚

Did you know your internal organs are supposed to glide and slide near one another every time you move and breathe?

When conditions like Endometriosis cause internal inflammation or scar tissue, those organs can lose their natural mobility. These restrictions pull on surrounding nerves and pelvic floor muscles, often driving persistent pelvic pain, bloating, and digestive discomfort.

Visceral Manipulation is a gentle hands-on technique we use in pelvic floor therapy to address these specific tissue restrictions and restore movement to the organs themselves.

Living with pelvic pain is exhausting. Not just physically, but mentally and emotionally.

When pain persists, it changes how you move through the world:
• You start worrying about which daily activities might cause a flare-up.
• You avoid things you used to love doing.
• You feel frustrated and drained after seeing multiple providers without getting real answers.

And I want to be really clear about something: That does not mean your pain is "all in your head."

When pain becomes chronic, it literally alters how your nervous system responds to and protects your body.

True healing requires a dual approach:
1. Evaluating physical contributors—the muscles, tissues, joints, and alignment.
2. Helping your nervous system feel safe again.

Your mental health matters. Your stress matters. Your fear around pain matters. Those factors deserve to be integrated into your treatment plan—not dismissed as the cause of your pain.

At Flourish, we look at the whole picture so you can get your life back.

Save this post for the days you need a reminder that your pain is real, and share it with someone who needs to hear this today.
