❓Did you know you can train your brain for birth?

💕Birth doesn’t have to be a dreaded event

💕for many of the active women I help in pregnancy— being fully mentally present labor is the goal

For many women— other people narratives & negative experiences will influence your pregnancy and birth, but it doesn’t have to be your truth.
If that strikes a cord, I want you to know—
♥️You are allowed to be who you are in labor
And it will look different for everyone!

😅For me- I was making jokes, holding back choice words, and amazed that my body could do the damn thing!

🤓I became a GentleBirth Educator because I saw how important it was to prevent birth trauma and provide moms with skills to navigate the mental & emotional challenges of labor in addition to preparing your bodies physically

🤩Working together with my clients 1 on 1 in BirthPrep sessions—
✅We cover the options for understanding what is controllable and what is NOT controllable when it comes to birth—no matter your location and especially if you are birthing in a hospital.

✅We unpack your relationship with pain so you learn simples ways to dial down the fear of uncertainty, trust your team, and boost your confidence in your body’s ability—no matter HOW your baby arrives regardless if you have an epidural or not

✅You discover practical tools to reduce your risk of body injury and take the mystery out of understanding the pathway to a full recovery

🥳 It’s finally here—
June 20-26 is National Continence Week!

🙌🏿 Who knew there was a whole week celebrating not peeing on yourself

⭐️Urinary Incontinence is defined as accidental leakage of urine (See pic in the post for the definitions of common types)

👀Does this sound like you?
🚽You make a mad dash for the bathroom as soon as your keys touch the door when you get home from a busy day, only to leak right before you get to the toilet
🚽 You feel stuck wearing black leggings when you run in order to play it safe because soaking your pants to your knees is embarrassing
🚽Every time your toddler brings home the latest virus from daycare, you stock up on poise pads

🧐You might have heard from your mom & sister Leaks are one of those things you suck it up & deal with after having kids.

🌺 If that is too familiar to you,
You aren’t alone & you’re not doing anything wrong!

This exactly what I help people with at Radiance PT!

❤️The truth is,
Everyone has a pelvic floor. This problem can impact all genders & ages, women more often than men.

1️⃣Up to 50% of women experience stress urinary incontinence in their day to day activities
2️⃣Some studies show that 30% -80% of female athletes who have NEVER given birth experience this too, mainly in sports involving jumping & running.
3️⃣If you are like many of the women I help,
Bladder leaks are annoying because you’re distracted when you are challenging yourself in the gym & you’re not the type of person that is comfortable with hearing “just deal with it”

🌟I want you to know healing is possible & you deserve it!

🌟 At Radiance Physical Therapy,
I am proud to help active women
❎Go from feeling held back by leakage interrupting your workouts
✅To discovering CONFIDENCE & STRENGTH
so you can boldly crush box jumps in the gym with your friends
✅Have PEACE OF MIND about your body as you chase after your kids
