Whoops! I took an unexpected but much needed socia Whoops! I took an unexpected but much needed social media break this holiday season. I will be back to my regular educational content in the new year, as well as some updates to include all the services I provide as an orthopedic and pelvic health concierge practice 🌱🌿🍃

As a pelvic floor physical therapist (and especially a pediatric pelvic PT), one of the topics that I talk about the most with patients is 💩. So for now, I will leave you with this for a quick laugh and friendly reminder to keep your tummies happy this time of year 🤩☃️

💧 Hydration
🏃🏻‍♀️ Exercise
🍎🥦🫘 Fruits, veggies, fiber
🧘🏻‍♀️ Deep breaths 

Wishing you all a happy and healthy holiday season!!

🌟 Gentle reminder that gaining full control of the bowel and bladder systems is a developmental milestone! It doesn’t just happen in a few days but rather is fully developed over a period of time that is different for each child.
