In college I ran track. There was very little advice given regarding nutrition. I did my best with the limited knowledge I had- lots of veggies and some chicken. I was completely clueless about how many calories I actually needed to consume to fuel the very active life I had. I even felt guilty when […]

Leaking- the most common symptom that brings people into my office seeking pelvic floor treatment. But also, one of the most accepted pelvic floor symptoms in society. We joke in the gym about peeing during our workouts and make our last minute runs to the bathroom before exercising. I want women who are active to

I have been floored by how few people know about pelvic floor PT since I started practicing. The ways it can improve a person’s quality of life are endless and major. Issues that so many of us are just living with can be addressed, and I’m making it my mission to tell everyone. We’re starting

Anyone who has tried to do a proper hollow hold, and I mean proper, knows that it is so challenging! I remember the earliest days of my time in crossfit and seeing hollow holds for the first time. They looked far more simple than they were, and that was humbling.  For anyone unfamiliar with a

Fortunately for all the moms who want to stay active, exercise is great during pregnancy. It’s great for mom, great for baby, and has been shown to decrease the duration of the second stage of labor. We know so much more now than we used to about how much intensity the pregnant mom and baby

I’m willing to bet most people reading this have never even thought of a hand dynamometer (the thing you squeeze that measures your strength). Our focus is so narrowed in on losing weight and having a good

I wanted to take the time today to dive into the pelvic floor…figuratively. It’s such foreign territory to all of us. Talking about the pelvic floor has been such a no-no that even when we need help with issues stemming from the pelvic floor, we struggle with discussing it. The most important thing I want

I hate our most common treatments for tennis elbow. Many people who suffer from it may never encounter a PT as part of their treatment journey. Most will be treated with meds, injections, and told to stop the aggravating activity. This is wrong on a lot of levels, but we won’t get into that today!

It’s no coincidence that people who come to IdealFit get better. The therapy skills are top notch, you get a full hour of dedicated therapy time with your therapist, and the exercises needed to be performed are carefully explained and thoroughly taught. But what has the biggest influence on our great results is the 3
