-60 minute park workout and pelvic floor workshop with physical therapist, Dr. Jaime Darling PT, DPT who specializes in pelvic floor, pre & postpartum, and sports orthopedics.
– Workout will be created with mom’s of all stages of pre and post partum in mind – No matter if you’re currently pregnant or 10+ years out. There will be varying movement options to make it harder or easier depending on what you need/want.
– Food for thought: Jaime herself is 25 weeks pregnant and will be doing the workout movements along side you as she instructs for clarity and safety.
– Safety first! Participation is at your & your doctor’s discretion.
– You will need to bring your own mat, water, and towel; these will not be provided/available; no other equipment needed.
Pelvic floor physical therapy is a treatment to help address pain, weakness, and dysfunction in the pelvic floor muscles. The type of therapy prescribed will depend upon the symptoms you’re experiencing. For example, some symptoms will require relaxing and lengthening of the muscles, while others may require strengthening the muscles.
Urinary problems, such as:
Urinary incontinence
Urinary frequency
Urinary urgency
Painful urination
Difficulty stopping or starting urinating
Difficulty fully emptying the bladder
Bowel problems
Fecal incontinence
Straining or experiencing pain during bowel movements
Unexplained pain
Pelvic pain
Pain in the genital area
Rectal pain
Pain during intercourse
If you have any of these symptoms or have a diagnosis of interstitial cystitis (IC), pelvic floor therapy might be right for you.
