Form & Function Rx

Hello friends! The page has turned and it’s 2026 🥳 Whatever you want to say about a new year, I can guarantee one thing…. It will bring change. For me, I know some of those will be challenging, and some I’m looking forward to excitedly. This year, I’m not setting resolutions, I’m vowing to be more intentional. With my time and with my words, for my family and for my business. I hope you consider doing the same. If you have things you’ve been putting off, tackle them now! If you’ve found me here, and you wonder how working together might improve your well-being, get you out of pain, change your level of daily physical function… send a message. A conversation about your goals is always free!

Such a pretty morning in downtown Lexington 😎🌴🇺🇸 I just had to stop and snap a picture as I walked out of Town Hall, all paid up and licensed for another year of business here… crazy to think this dream of mine became real almost 3 years ago!

It is never too late, or too early, to make it happen for yourself! Open the business, buy that house, run the marathon… or just take the first baby steps toward your goals if that’s what you’ve got the capacity for at this moment.

If I can help you in any way in your journey to what you want (moral support, small business advice, corrective exercise training), I’m here for you!

Sharing from our Pelvic PT friends in Arkansas…

The tide is SLOWLY shifting to the real preparation and education that women need, to recover from labor and delivery, whatever that looks like for them. If you are a woman who is lucky enough to know about pelvic floor PT, shout it from the rooftops to all of your mama friends! It is never too late to put your body back together. 

And if you think “my symptoms aren’t bad enough to need PT”, call me! I’m happy to talk through the options and find you the best fit for help, whether that’s my breathwork and exercised-based Core & Pelvic Floor recovery program, or something more in depth from a PT.

✨April is Cesarean Awareness Month✨ ✨C-section birth is birth. Celebrating all the mamas who birthed their baby via c-section. It is NOT the easy way out. ✨Holding space for the moms who are still processing their birth story, to the ones who are still learning their scar, grieving their body before birth, and the ones who showed up through it all. ✨Empowering moms with knowledge for preparing for c-section and recovering postpartum is needed and should be standard. Postpartum recovery should be standard. More work needs to be done serving moms during this time. If you are a c-section mom, I hope you know your birth experience is valid, special, and yours 💗 SHARE with another c-section mom to show your love 💕 📲reach out to us at 479-278-4239 if you’re local to Northwest Arkansas to see us + we provide virtual support. This is one of our specialties as pelvic floor physical therapists @essentialspelvicpt.nwa and we would love to help support you. #internationalcsectionawarenessmonth #csection #csectionrecovery #csectionawarenessmonth #nwamoms #northwestarkansas #rogersarkansas #springdalearkansas #bentonvillearkansas #healthypregnancy #springdalear #fayettevillear #rogersar #nwamom #nwamoms #northwestarkansas #pelvicfloorphysicaltherapy #pelvicfloorpt #pelvicfloortherapy

If you’re a mom, and the inside of your head is anything like mine, you NEED this reminder today… self-care is SO important!

Also, shameless plug for my friend Lynn … check out her Etsy shop (mama4seven) to order this shirt and so many other custom glassware and clothing items 😍 Link in the comments

Happy 40th SCATA! Feeling excited and energized to spend 2 days learning with my fellow ATCs at the South Carolina Athletic Trainers Association annual symposium.

Still looking for the perfect Mother’s Day gift?! I’ve got gift certificates that can be emailed for same-day delivery.

Give Mom the gift of strong & pain-free movement. Our “Core & Floor” postpartum package includes one-on-one, personalized training sessions to teach her how her core & pelvic floor muscles are meant to work. Whether she’s weeks, months or decades postpartum, I promise she will love this!

Happy Monday! Spring has sprung (or maybe summer, it's supposed to be 88 here today!), kids are out of school soon 😲, and usually that means, life gets even busier than it usually is!

Self care does NOT have to go by the wayside though! If you've got nagging aches and pains that are keeping you from doing all the things you want to, schedule a consult with me! We can do that at my office, or squeeze it in from wherever you are on Zoom, and get a plan together for you.

Well, I almost missed posting this but today is the day! Governor McMaster has proclaimed March 1st 2024 as South Carolina Athletic Training day! Helping us kick off by promoting and celebrating the profession of athletic training.

I have been a certified athletic trainer since 2005, and although I don’t practice in the traditional setting anymore, I use those roots every day with my clients.

If you played sports, or had kids that played sports, chances are you or someone you love has been cared for by an AT. They are the first line of defense and so incredibly important in keeping athletes safe. I’m proud to know and work with many amazing ATs.

Happy Athletic Training Day!

I had the honor of speaking to the Multiples of the Midlands group a few weeks ago. As I’m a twin mom myself, I have huge admiration for the miracles these ladies have carried in their bodies! We talked about the importance of core & pelvic floor exercise post pregnancy, no matter how far out you are (these women range from their 20s-50s) and even did a little practicing 😀

If you’ve got a group you think would love a custom-tailored exercise seminar, I’ve got you covered!
