Leaking with exercise is common, but not normal! If you leak with running, jumping, or lifting weights this can be fixed! Some people assume this means their pelvic floor is weak or that it is just a normal part of aging or having children. Leaking during exercise is often more complex than simply being weak, […]

If you’ve been to a traditional PT clinic before, what we do here might feel a little different. That’s completely intentional. I started IdealFit because I believed there was a better way to deliver physical therapy, one that actually puts the patient first instead of the insurance schedule, the productivity quota, or the number of

Not all physical therapy is created equal. If you’ve ever left a PT session feeling like you barely did anything OR you bounced back to pain 6 months after being “discharged”, you may have experienced the gap between traditional and performance-based care. At our clinic, we do things differently. Here’s a breakdown of what separates

Dizziness can be frustrating, confusing, and scary. Vertigo affects more than balance, it impacts confidence, independence, and daily life. Daily activities can suddenly feel difficult. The good news is that many forms of vertigo respond very well to physical therapy. At IdealFit Physical Therapy, we help people understand the cause of their dizziness and create

Shoulder pain can make simple things feel frustrating. If you’ve tried rest, stretches, or even physical therapy before without lasting relief, you’re not alone. The truth is, how your shoulder pain is treated matters just as much as what the issue is. At IdealFit Physical Therapy, we take a very different approach compared to most
