At Auria, we are committed to empowering individuals to live fully and confidently. Our mission is rooted in a belief that pelvic health is an integral part of overall wellness. When pelvic dysfunction occurs, whether due to pregnancy, childbirth, endometriosis, low back pain, or urinary issues, it can deeply affect your physical, emotional, and mental well-being.
Pelvic health is much more than just "down there" — it impacts your posture, movement, breathing, digestion, sexual health, and even your nervous system. Healing the pelvic floor is a holistic process that addresses not just the symptoms, but the root causes of your challenges, allowing for long-term relief and lasting change.
Focus on Whole-Body Care: Why It Matters
In our practice, we take a whole-body approach to pelvic health. Healing doesn’t happen in isolation, and your pelvic floor is connected to the rest of your body in ways you may not realize.
That’s why we focus on:
Tailored therapy solutions that address the root causes of your pelvic pain or dysfunction
Breathing exercises and stress management techniques that calm your nervous system and promote balance
Postural and alignment corrections that improve mobility and reduce strain on your pelvic muscles
Nervous system support to foster relaxation and healing, especially for those managing chronic pain or trauma
By treating the whole person, not just the symptoms, we help you restore balance and
achieve lasting wellness.
Taking Care of Your Mind & Body
February is often associated with love and self-care, and there’s no better time than now to commit to nurturing your wellness.
Here are a few ways you can support your pelvic health and well-being this month:
1. Practice Stress Reduction
Chronic stress can contribute to pelvic dysfunction, exacerbating issues like pain, urinary incontinence, and tension in the pelvic muscles. Incorporating daily relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing, meditation, or yoga, can help calm the nervous system and promote healing.
2. Move Your Body Gently
Exercise is essential, but it's important to move in a way that supports your pelvic health.
Low-impact activities like walking, swimming, or gentle stretching can improve circulation and flexibility in the pelvic floor, while also reducing tension in the body.
3. Invest in Your Posture
Posture is often overlooked, yet it plays a crucial role in pelvic health.
Sitting and standing with proper alignment can reduce unnecessary pressure on the pelvic floor and alleviate pain in the lower back, hips, and pelvis. Consider incorporating postural checks throughout your day.
4. Stay Hydrated & Nourished
Proper hydration supports muscle function and helps to prevent constipation, a common issue that can strain the pelvic floor.
Eating a balanced diet full of nutrient-dense foods will also support overall health, giving your body the fuel it needs to heal.
Featured Service: Pelvic Floor Therapy & Nervous System Down-Training
At Auria, we understand that pelvic health is intricately linked to your nervous system, and stress plays a significant role in exacerbating pelvic dysfunction.
That’s why our Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation program goes beyond traditional pelvic therapy to include nervous system down-training, a key component in promoting lasting healing and stress reduction.
When your body is under chronic stress, the nervous system remains in a heightened state of “fight or flight,” which can increase muscle tension, pain, and inflammation in the pelvic floor. This ongoing tension can worsen issues like urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, and even digestive discomfort. By incorporating nervous system down-training techniques, we help shift your body out of this stress response and into a state of relaxation and healing.
Our skilled therapists use a combination of hands-on techniques, breathing exercises, mindfulness practices, and restorative movement to help you activate your body’s natural relaxation response.
This reduces the impact of stress on your pelvic floor and supports optimal muscle function, helping to alleviate discomfort and restore balance.
Through this holistic approach, you not only address the physical symptoms but also the underlying nervous system dysregulation that may be contributing to your condition.
The result?
Greater peace of mind, reduced tension, and improved overall wellness.
If you're dealing with pelvic health issues that are complicated by stress, anxiety, or trauma, our integrative approach can provide the relief and support you need to feel truly balanced in your body and mind.
Auria’s Commitment to You
As always, we remain deeply committed to providing comprehensive care that goes beyond symptom relief. Healing is a journey, and we’re here to walk with you every step of the way. We invite you to reach out if you're interested in learning more about how pelvic health therapy can improve your overall well-being, or if you’d like to schedule a consultation with one of our qualified practitioners.
