      <image:title>Blog - Do You Have to Do an Internal Exam for Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy?  you’re in control.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Pelvic floor therapy can still be highly effective without an internal assessment.  If the client prefers to not have any internal work performed, the evaluation can be modified to assess external factors such as movement patterns (3D movement screen), posture, breathing mechanics, and the function of surrounding muscle groups that influence the pelvic floor.  Treatment is still incredibly beneficial because the pelvic floor works in unison with the diaphragm as well as muscles of the hip and abdomen.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - “Just In Case” Peeing (JIC-ing): Why It’s Not Helping Your Bladder</image:title>
      <image:caption>So, what’s typical?  A normal frequency to void is every 2-4 hours or about 5-8 times in a 24 hour period.  With normal urination, the brain and the bladder work together to recognize bladder fullness and the necessity to empty.  If you are emptying more frequently, especially without a true urge, the brain will train the bladder by sending premature signals.  This will reinforce the cycle of feeling like you “have to go”, even if your bladder isn’t truly full.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - What is dry needling and how can it help?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Let’s start with the basics. Dry needling is a technique where I use very thin needles to target painful areas in your muscles, which can include “knots” or “trigger points”. These spots are often the source of pain and tightness. The “dry” part means that no medication is injected — just the needle working it’s magic to stimulate the muscle, release tension, &amp; promote recovery. It’s not as scary as it sounds! In fact, many people find that dry needling is highly effective and a relatively quick way to reduce pain and restore movement.</image:caption>
