And sometimes it's an injury or an episode that does something like say you had a back injury. But the other thing is also chronic postures and positions that we assume. So if you sleep a certain way or you always hold a baby on one hip and your right side is always short and tight or you've got weak hip muscles on one side because of an injury.

So all of those imbalances influence your pelvic floor. And so the way that we actually treat, it's not like we go straight to the vagina or anus. It's really like peeling layers of an onion. Like I look at your posture. I look at your back. Do you have surgery, scoliosis, abdominal scars, diastasis recti, a hernia, all of those things. I look at your glute strength, your hip mobility.

And then I work on those things and then help kind of get closer, peel that layer of the onion, get to the muscles and tissues and fascia externally, and then work internally. Because I could go in and release your pelvic floor muscles till the cows come home.

But if you have overactive glutes and a piriformis syndrome and a tight QL and, you know, rotation, then I'm like, I'm not going to get very far because those factors are still influencing your pelvic floor. So, and to your point about the core, it's like... I think again, we look at the outside core muscles, but we don't look at the deep core muscles.

We don't look at the pelvic floor and the transverse abs. And I'm like, we're putting walls on a house that doesn't even have a floor. Like you literally haven't built the foundation. So oftentimes- I think a lot of athletes that I work with get frustrated because I'm like, okay, let's just work on some heel slides or some leg marches. And they're like, God, this is so boring.

But I'm like, if you don't get the foundation, you can't, you're getting to that next level isn't serving you because you don't have that deep core engagement and support to support like super strong abs and upper body and thighs and all these things. So again, you kind of have to look outside and inside about what's going on.

So it's in conjunction with. So if somebody has kind of a pelvic misalignment or they need some kind of chiropractic adjustment, I'll continue to see them while they see the chiropractor. Because if you get adjusted, but the muscles are still spasmed or overactive, then that displacement is going to reoccur. Like the chiropractor is kind of putting it back in place.

But if you don't fix the muscles and tissues and ligaments that are influencing that, then it'll persist. So I work on, say you get realigned or I release the muscles and tissues. It makes it easier for a chiropractor to adjust you. So it's very much in conjunction. I don't do, PTs don't do any x-rays. We're not licensed to do them, but I also, people aren't coming in to see me for a fracture.

Yeah. Most often people aren't coming in to see us for acute pain. We can work with chiros and physicians to get that, but I would say most often that's not what we see.

What I do do though is I absolutely refer to a physician of like, I think that there's, you know, I've had two women come in who have pain with sex and when I'm working on them, they have this deep hip pain and their hips are so overactive and they've got popping and clicking. I'm like, I think you have a labral tear.
