At Auria Pelvic Health, we believe everyone deserves compassionate, expert care that honors their whole identity. For many in the LGBTQIA+ community, pelvic health concerns are an important—but often overlooked—part of overall wellness. Whether you’re navigating recovery, prevention, or pain management, affirming pelvic health care can make all the difference. Why Pelvic Health Is Important for LGBTQIA+ Individuals Pelvic floor health affects bladder, bowel, sexual function,

Bringing new life into the world is one of the most powerful things your body can do. But when it comes time to return to exercise after giving birth, many people aren’t sure where to begin—or how to do it safely. At Auria Pelvic Health, our mission is to help you rebuild strength from the inside out , so you can move with confidence, avoid injury, and feel like yourself  again. Whether you’re weeks or months postpartum, here’s what you need to know before jumping back into w

If you’ve ever been told you have prolapse—or you’re wondering if that pressure, heaviness, or “falling out” feeling could be related—there’s something you should know: Pelvic organ prolapse doesn’t just affect the pelvic floor. It can also show up as hip, low back, or tailbone pain. We often hear patients say, “I thought my back pain was just from posture or lifting my toddler funny. I had no idea it could be connected to my prolapse.” Let’s break it down so you can understa

You can deadlift twice your body weight, crush a HIIT class, or run marathons—and still find yourself leaking when you sneeze, jump, or laugh. Sound familiar? You’re not alone. Urinary leakage doesn’t just affect postpartum moms or older adults. At Auria, we work with elite and high-performing athletes—people who train hard, eat clean, and live in strong, capable bodies—who are baffled (and often embarrassed) by pelvic floor symptoms. Here’s the truth: leaking isn’t about we

If you’ve ever been told your period pain is “normal,” that you just have a "low pain tolerance" or that it’s all in your head—this post is for you. Endometriosis (endo) pain is real, complex, and far too often dismissed. At Auria Pelvic Health, we see patients every week who have spent years—sometimes a decade or more—seeking answers for severe pelvic, abdominal, or back pain that disrupts school, work, intimacy, and everyday life. Many were told they were “too sensitive.” N

Let’s be honest: the postpartum period comes with a whole lot of surprises—some sweet, some messy, and some that make you whisper, "Why didn’t anyone tell me?!" At Auria, we work with new parents every day who are discovering unexpected changes in their bodies—and wondering if what they're feeling is “normal,” or if it’s something they just have to live with. We’re here to say: you’re not alone, and you don’t have to just accept it. Here are 5 pelvic floor truths we wish ever

Hearing the word “prolapse” can be scary—like your body is breaking down or that surgery is the only option. But here’s the good news: surgery, including a hysterectomy, is not always the answer. In fact, many people improve significantly—and even reverse their symptoms—through conservative care. Before rushing to the operating room, it’s worth exploring what gentle, effective treatments can do to support your body and restore confidence in your everyday life. What is Prolaps

Let’s talk about periods. For many people, monthly cramps, mood swings, and bleeding are just part of the package—sometimes uncomfortable, sometimes downright awful. But when does a “bad period” cross the line into something more serious? Enter: endometriosis, or “endo” for short. Although it shares some symptoms with your average period pain, endo is very different—and understanding that difference can be a game-changer for your health and wellbeing. What is Endometriosis? E

You did it. You made a birth plan—a detailed roadmap for bringing your baby into the world. Maybe you planned for natural labor, or a C-section, or maybe you just hoped for a good nap and a healthy baby (also a solid plan!). But here’s the thing : while so much attention goes into birth, the journey doesn’t stop there. Your body now needs a postpartum recovery plan just as much as it needed a birth plan. Why postpartum recovery deserves a plan, too After all the anticipation

Let’s be real: pelvic floor health isn’t exactly dinner table conversation—but maybe it should be. As a pelvic floor physical therapist, I spend my days helping people navigate the very real (and very common) issues that most of us were never taught about. From bladder leaks to bowel trouble to that mysterious pelvic heaviness—there’s a lot I wish more people knew. So today, I’m sharing a few confessions from the treatment room in hopes of clearing things up and making pelvic

You had a C-section. Whether it was planned or unexpected, it brought your baby safely into the world—but now, months or even years later, something doesn’t feel quite right. Maybe you’re experiencing pelvic pressure, back pain, or tightness around your scar. You’re not imagining it: your C-section scar can absolutely affect your pelvic floor. At Auria Pelvic Health, we believe in looking at the full picture. Let’s break down what scar tissue is, how it can impact your pelvic
