There are 2 types of Bladder Incontinence:

*Stress: leaking when coughing, sneezing, laughing, jumping, lifting

*Urge: leaking when you feel the urge to go—water running, key in lock, before you leave the house

Understanding what is happening in your pelvic floor and why the leakage is happening, guides the treatment.

No more “just do your kegels” in hopes that strengthening will help!

Call to book your eval with us today to learn why you are having leakage and get yourself dry 💦

Did you know that you should pee ever 2 hours or so?

“Just in Case” pees every 30-60 minutes isn’t actually making your leakage better, it’s making it worse.

The brain picks up on this habit and starts sending more urgency signals telling you that there must be a lot of urine in the bladder, when really it’s not.

This leads to more frequency and incontinence because the learned behavior is that the bladder cannot tolerate more than half full.

Ladies, let’s normalize this.

Don’t confuse vaginismus or painful sex with low libido.

These are two very different things.

Vaginismus is a physical, muscular response, not a reflection of desire or attraction.

Many people with Vaginismus lack the desire to have intimacy because pain is present and repeatedly causing pain creates more trauma and continues the pain cycle.

Call to book an initial evaluation with us today to help you stop the pain cycle.

It’s important to understand that vaginismus and painful s*x doesn’t happen in isolation.

There are many causes:
*physical causes. Childbirth or surgery, low back or hip pain, hormonal changes, etc.
*emotional causes. History of painful penetration or stressful event, uncomfortable event, life stress.
*nervous system overload. Feelings of anxiety, high strung, relationship or work stress, etc overwhelms the nervous system, leading to involuntary muscle tightening.

Our first session is spent really getting to know you, your history, and what got you to your current point and symptoms.

We explain the pelvis and how everything works together and what the internal exam actually tells us.

You are always in control—you choose if you want the pelvic floor exam, the pace, and it’s your choice to stop whenever.

Vaginismus and painful s*x are treatable and don’t have to completely control your intimacy and your quality of life.

We should all have zero tolerance of pelvic floor dysfunction and disruption to quality of life.

Culture tells us to wear the badge of honor of “doing it all” and that even includes carrying our physical ailments longer than we should ever tolerate.

Peeing your pants or having painful s*x isn’t something that makes us stronger by just ignoring it. We become stronger when we get to the root of the problem and start having the best s*x.

Let’s start working on ourselves rather than “just dealing with it”!

If you are looking for the BEST and LASTING results with your pelvic floor, the internal exam is the gold standard.

NOT— online with a therapist or a trainer, guessing with your kegels, sitting on vibration plate

You need an expert in pelvic floor who can help you identify what’s happening inside and connect the dots for you.

You deserve the gold standard of care ⚜️

Why does heaviness in my v@gina feel worse some days compared to others?

1. Fatigue—pelvic floor muscles are weak, uncoordinated, or can’t carry the load of the daily movement

2. Lack of pressure management—clenching or gripping of the abdominals

3. Constipation—pressure from the bowel sitting in the rectum which is in the pelvic cavity

4. Heavy lifting—holding your breath or lifting too much load for where your pelvis is at in the moment

5. Hormone fluctuations—changes the way our tissues feel and if menstruating, there is a lot more congestion in the pelvis

Somehow one whole year has gone by and we are celebrating this happy, sweet little lady turning One💕

Birthdays are always good milestones to look back and reflect on the past year.

My heart and my body couldn’t have needed this year more. This little lady has brought more healing than I ever knew was necessary.

This has been the year I grieved my experiences of my first two births and actually accepted my own c-section. Learning to let go, trust my body and my care team again allowed so much mental and emotional freedom.

Having a 3rd kid made me slow down and be more present where my feet are. It woke me up a bit on how much I was consumed in other people’s things or events happening in the world around me.

Pure Joy—watching all 3 of my kids grow this year and especially watching my older two absolutely adore our babe has been nothing but pure joy. The joy that comes from the little things and every day experiences.

The first year can feel really daunting as you are sleep deprived, completely carrying for a dependent human, trying to heal your body, and face the demands of life. This is the first time I have felt that I truly gave myself a year (plus more to come) of grace to heal physically, mentally, and emotionally after the birth of child.

Pregnancy and child birth changes you. Allow yourself the time, space, and grace to heal, rest, and build the renewed version of yourself💕

Muscle knots and stubborn pain don’t have to run your day.

At Revive Physical Therapy and Wellness in Johnston, we use dry needling as part of care when it fits your needs and goals. If you’re in the Des Moines metro, Ankeny, or Waukee and you’re tired of “just dealing with it,” contact us and let’s talk about what’s really going on.

Here’s what many people notice when dry needling is paired with Physical Therapy 🧤
• Less tightness and guarding in sore areas
• Better movement for work, workouts, and sleep
• A clearer plan to address the root cause, not just symptoms

We also provide pelvic floor physical therapy and pelvic floor therapy for pelvic pain, leakage, and postpartum concerns, plus lymphatic drainage when swelling or fluid retention is part of the picture.
