Form & Function Rx

Sharing from our Pelvic PT friends in Arkansas…

The tide is SLOWLY shifting to the real preparation and education that women need, to recover from labor and delivery, whatever that looks like for them. If you are a woman who is lucky enough to know about pelvic floor PT, shout it from the rooftops to all of your mama friends! It is never too late to put your body back together. 

And if you think “my symptoms aren’t bad enough to need PT”, call me! I’m happy to talk through the options and find you the best fit for help, whether that’s my breathwork and exercised-based Core & Pelvic Floor recovery program, or something more in depth from a PT.

✨April is Cesarean Awareness Month✨ ✨C-section birth is birth. Celebrating all the mamas who birthed their baby via c-section. It is NOT the easy way out. ✨Holding space for the moms who are still processing their birth story, to the ones who are still learning their scar, grieving their body before birth, and the ones who showed up through it all. ✨Empowering moms with knowledge for preparing for c-section and recovering postpartum is needed and should be standard. Postpartum recovery should be standard. More work needs to be done serving moms during this time. If you are a c-section mom, I hope you know your birth experience is valid, special, and yours 💗 SHARE with another c-section mom to show your love 💕 📲reach out to us at 479-278-4239 if you’re local to Northwest Arkansas to see us + we provide virtual support.

Happy Monday! Spring has sprung (or maybe summer, it's supposed to be 88 here today!), kids are out of school soon 😲, and usually that means, life gets even busier than it usually is!

Self care does NOT have to go by the wayside though! If you've got nagging aches and pains that are keeping you from doing all the things you want to, schedule a consult with me! We can do that at my office, or squeeze it in from wherever you are on Zoom, and get a plan together for you.

Well, I almost missed posting this but today is the day! Governor McMaster has proclaimed March 1st 2024 as South Carolina Athletic Training day! Helping us kick off by promoting and celebrating the profession of athletic training.

I have been a certified athletic trainer since 2005, and although I don’t practice in the traditional setting anymore, I use those roots every day with my clients.

If you played sports, or had kids that played sports, chances are you or someone you love has been cared for by an AT. They are the first line of defense and so incredibly important in keeping athletes safe. I’m proud to know and work with many amazing ATs.

Happy Athletic Training Day!
