关于我们

Pelvic Health Support is led by Kathy Kates, FNP—a pelvic floor therapist and family practice nurse practitioner who specializes in optimizing patients’ pelvic health. Through a gentle, hands-on technique called myofascial release, Kathy brings balance to the pelvic region to treat a range of problems that affect women, men, transgender and gender non-conforming patients at all stages of life. Our treatment works on the fascia, a fully body system of connective tissue that also connects the pelvis to major muscle groups in the lower body. When hardened or restricted, the fascia can cause physical pain and other problems. Myofascial release of the pelvic floor relaxes the fascia, releases the pressure that results in pain, and improves mobility, flexibility, and stability. Although myofascial release is a biomechanical modality, the technique is distinct from physical therapy, embracing a more holistic approach. We focus on patients with an active or prior cancer diagnosis who are experiencing pelvic pain. We also treat women who are pregnant or postpartum, peri- or post-menopausal; men suffering from penile, bladder, prostate or digestive issues, back or hip pain; and transgender and gender non-conforming patients. Oncologists, urologists, gynecologists, urogynecologists, surgeons and behavioral health clinicians refer patients to Pelvic Health Support because it is a clinically informed, evidence-based practice led by a primary care practitioner with a medical background.

  • Did you know that the way you sit on the toilet makes a huge difference? When sitting with your legs flat on the ground (which is optimal for sitting posture), the puborectalis muscle becomes tight and compresses the rectum, making it difficult for stool to pass. ??However, when you elevate your legs (knees above hips), your sphincter aligns straight, and the puborectalis muscle becomes relaxed. This allows for an ease of elimination of your bowels. ?? ? Avoid straining ? Relax your elbows on your knees ? If you need help initiating a bowel movement, try blowing as if you were gently blowing into a balloon ? Gently rock back and forth to find a position that seems most helpful to you ? If you find yourself straining to have a bowel movement, adjust your position. ? Grab some books, a stool, or a squatty potty. Make sure your knees are higher than your hips, and lean forward with a straight back. Focusing on the position of your sphincter and a specific pelvic floor muscle (the puborectalis) will allow for optimal bowel health! Learn more about the role of the puborectalis muscle & its importance for your bowel movements in the Resources section of my website - https://lnkd.in/eJ9rjMiX
