Are You Thinking of Working with a Doula?

Here are some of the benefits

Being a pelvic floor physical therapist, I work with pregnant and postpartum women almost daily. Not having birthed any children yet and currently pregnant, I was curious about the doula process both professionally and personally. So, I attended a wonderful birth doula training program and learned a ton about what working with a doula is all about.

Are There Non-Surgical Treatments for Pelvic Organ Prolapse?

That constant heavy feeling in your pelvic area. That embarrassing urine leakage. That bulge ‘down there’.

It took a while, but you found the courage to talk to your doctor about your symptoms. (Good for you!) Now you know your condition has a name – pelvic organ prolapse – and a treatment. But is surgery really the best option?

Research estimates that 50% of all women who give birth will develop pelvic organ prolapse at some point in life; but while pregnancy and childbirth top the list of risk factors, the condition usually develops over time from a combination of factors that can also include anything from frequent strenuous gym workouts to smoking to menopause (and even genetics).

After completing my first session of Fascial Stretch Therapy I felt so light on my feet. I have never felt so much tension release from my body!
