PILATES & PELVIC FLOOR WORKSHOP

Where: Salt+Core Pilates & Wellness
             625 Asbury Ave, Unit A
             Ocean City, NJ 08226

 When: Friday October 16th, 5:00-6:30pm 

What It Is: Your pelvic floor is doing a whole lot more during Pilates than just “doing a Kegel.” In this workshop, alongside a Salt+Core pilates instructor, we’re going to talk about what your pelvic floor actually does, how it works with your core and your breathing, and what the heck “engage your core” is actually supposed to feel like. We’ll get into pressure management, why leaking, heaviness, urgency, or pain aren’t symptoms you should just ignore, and how to modify movement without being told to stop doing everything you love. And because I’m not going to make you sit there and listen to me talk for an hour, we’ll actually move, breathe, and practice putting all of this together. You’ll leave understanding your body a little better, and knowing when something might be worth getting checked out by a pelvic floor PT.

We’ll wrap things up with an open Q&A with me, and no question is TMI. Peeing when you jump? Pain with sex? Weird pressure? Poop questions? Ask it. Chances are, you’re definitely not the only one wondering.

Upcoming Events

BEYOND KEGELS: A FREE PROVIDER EDUCATION & NETWORKING EVENT 

Where: Positive Impact Physical Therapy
             40 Marmora Blvd. 
             Marmora, NJ 08223

When: Tuesday October 27th, 5:30pm 

What It Is: Pelvic floor therapy is about a whole lot more than Kegels, and we want the other providers in our community to know what we actually do.

Beyond Kegels is a FREE provider info session hosted at Positive Impact, created for medical and healthcare providers who want to better understand pelvic health outside the scope of their own specialty. We’ll talk about what pelvic floor therapy actually looks like, symptoms providers should be screening for, when pelvic floor PT may be appropriate, and how to confidently refer patients for care. It’s also a chance for local providers to connect, network, ask questions, and learn from one another so we can all do a better job taking care of our patients.

And we need your help spreading the word! If you were referred to Positive Impact by a medical provider; or you have a physician, midwife, OB/GYN, urologist, GI provider, chiropractor, therapist, or other healthcare professional involved in your pelvic health care, tell them about this event and invite them to join us! The more providers understand what pelvic floor therapy can offer, the easier it is to get patients to the right care sooner.

What It Is: Preparing for birth isn’t about controlling exactly how it happens, chances are that something is going to surprise you about your birth experience. Preparing for birth is about feeling confident, informed, and prepared for whatever your birth may look like. Join Full Moon Wellness and Birth at Positive Impact for a 4-week, in-person Hypnobirthing series designed to give you practical tools to feel calmer and more prepared heading into labor.

Throughout the four weeks, you’ll learn how to use breathing techniques, deep relaxation, self-hypnosis, and mindset strategies to manage discomfort, reduce fear and tension, and stay grounded during labor alongside practical exercise to help prepare your pelvic floor for birth. Whether you’re hoping for an unmedicated birth, planning an epidural, or simply want more tools in your toolbox, this class is about helping you feel more confident and informed walking into birth, not telling you there’s one “right” way to do it.

MOMMY & ME MENTAL HEALTH TALK

Where: Positive Impact Physical Therapy
             40 Marmora Blvd. 
             Marmora, NJ 08223

When: Tuesday October 20th, 6:00pm 

What It Is: Motherhood is a LOT! Take it from me, I've got 3 under 6. Sometimes you just need a space where you can show up exactly as you are. Join us at Positive Impact for a Mommy & Me Mental Health Talk with life coach Abbey from Evolving Whole, created specifically for moms navigating the mental load, stress, overwhelm, and everything else that comes with taking care of everyone while trying to take care of yourself, too. We’ll talk honestly about maternal mental health, stress management, and realistic ways to support your own well-being in this season of life.

And yes, bring the baby. Bring the little kids. No one cares if someone needs to nurse, snack, wiggle, cry, or wander around the room. This is an event for moms, which means we fully expect motherhood to be happening while you’re here.

Don't miss out! Only a few seats remain for this workshop.

Stay tuned! Registration details coming soon.
