Being fully evaluated by a PT who looks at every factor of your running: load transfer, ROM, strength, impact tolerance, coordination of abs and PFM, posture, alignment, and PFM strength.06 Nov 2025 12:29 +0000at://did:plc:vu7krlmunigjhdodjwjx5t3x/app.bsky.feed.post/3m4xkvui5kk2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/drbbayruthie.bsky.social/post/3m333ff4els26Peek into the Pelvis: Leaking while running has a lot of contributors. Rarely do I see a "kegels-only" approach, help. Let's talk about it:13 Oct 2025 11:12 +0000at://did:plc:vu7krlmunigjhdodjwjx5t3x/app.bsky.feed.post/3m333ff4els26https://bsky.app/profile/drbbayruthie.bsky.social/post/3m2r62bcg7k2hPeek into the Pelvis: So much of pelvic floor work is figuring out what you're bad at and making you practice it. That's why we always say "get evaluated."09 Oct 2025 12:33 +0000at://did:plc:vu7krlmunigjhdodjwjx5t3x/app.bsky.feed.post/3m2r62bcg7k2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/drbbayruthie.bsky.social/post/3m2ogp477yc2gPeek into the Pelvis: Estrogen used v@ginally is one of the best protections for bladder and pelvic floor health in a low E body. With estrogen, you are like a whoopie pie: thick, soft, cushiony, moist.08 Oct 2025 10:29 +0000at://did:plc:vu7krlmunigjhdodjwjx5t3x/app.bsky.feed.post/3m2ogp477yc2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/drbbayruthie.bsky.social/post/3m2lxvxgcis2nPeek into the Pelvis: We say 25 grams of fiber per day for most women and People AFAB, but when doesn't this work? It doesn't work with endometriosis patients, bc a large stool can be mechanically hard to pass if there are implants on the colon/sigmoid/rectum.07 Oct 2025 10:59 +0000at://did:plc:vu7krlmunigjhdodjwjx5t3x/app.bsky.feed.post/3m2lxvxgcis2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/drbbayruthie.bsky.social/post/3m2jghpviak2jPeek into the Pelvis: Letdown strategies to reduce pelvic floor tension can be both active, and passive. Do both. The more you train, or rather downtrain, the better you get.06 Oct 2025 10:42 +0000at://did:plc:vu7krlmunigjhdodjwjx5t3x/app.bsky.feed.post/3m2jghpviak2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/drbbayruthie.bsky.social/post/3m27qzy5oyk2pPeek into the Pelvis: Hip internal rotation is associated with pelvic floor opening or lengthening. If you have a tight pelvic floor, this is a great thing to work on. The most low-energy way to achieve that: rolling your legs in and out while lying down or in a recliner.02 Oct 2025 14:24 +0000at://did:plc:vu7krlmunigjhdodjwjx5t3x/app.bsky.feed.post/3m27qzy5oyk2phttps://bsky.app/profile/drbbayruthie.bsky.social/post/3m24vq4mbs222Peek into the Pelvis: Walk with swagger. Swing your arms. Swing your hips. Be a silly goose. It's good for your pelvic floor and will make you happy (endorphins). (If you can't walk, wiggle and swing as able)01 Oct 2025 11:10 +0000at://did:plc:vu7krlmunigjhdodjwjx5t3x/app.bsky.feed.post/3m24vq4mbs222https://bsky.app/profile/drbbayruthie.bsky.social/post/3m22egjdk3c2hPeek into the Pelvis: Lengthening your pelvic floor can happen in a few ways. My favs? Inhaling into the perineum in sidelying or sitting on a ball. You *allow* the pelvic floor to move in the same way you allow your belly to move when you breathe. Try it and tell me what you notice.30 Sep 2025 10:56 +0000at://did:plc:vu7krlmunigjhdodjwjx5t3x/app.bsky.feed.post/3m22egjdk3c2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/drbbayruthie.bsky.social/post/3lzxtoqdw2c2gPeek into the Pelvis: Kegels shorten (tighten) the pelvic floor. They help about 30% of pelvic health problems. If they don't work for you, you might also need lengthening and coordination of the pelvic floor.29 Sep 2025 10:51 +0000at://did:plc:vu7krlmunigjhdodjwjx5t3x/app.bsky.feed.post/3lzxtoqdw2c2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/drbbayruthie.bsky.social/post/3lzswfhov2s26Peek into the Pelvis: Capital-T Trauma and little-t trauma can leave you so disconnected from your body that you miss regular signals, like the urge to pee or poop ...until it’s an Emergency. "Listen to your body" doesn't work when you've been ignoring it to feel safe.27 Sep 2025 11:56 +0000at://did:plc:vu7krlmunigjhdodjwjx5t3x/app.bsky.feed.post/3lzswfhov2s26https://bsky.app/profile/drbbayruthie.bsky.social/post/3lzqbzfltx22cToday's Peek into the Pelvis: Ladies and People AFAB: Hormonal changes can cause dryness. It can feel like irritation, sandpaper, chafe, rubbing.

She then proceeds to teach them the "stop, think, breathe, Kegel!" Yes, gyn friend. I've taught you so well.

Only tax payers should have that right. They can be "people," but shouldn't be given rights only afforded to taxpayers.08 Feb 2025 17:55 +0000at://did:plc:vu7krlmunigjhdodjwjx5t3x/app.bsky.feed.post/3lhooqks45c2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/drbbayruthie.bsky.social/post/3lhmrr4um4k2hSometimes resistance is the stuff you do everyday.07 Feb 2025 23:43 +0000at://did:plc:vu7krlmunigjhdodjwjx5t3x/app.bsky.feed.post/3lhmrr4um4k2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/drbbayruthie.bsky.social/post/3lhmqq3nncc2hThings I taught people as a pelvic floor PT today: How to use breathing to help a BM How to use breathing to expand and the improve rib ROM How to Kegel targeting the posterior part only How to Kegel targeting tje anterior part only How to Kegel to reduce prolapse07 Feb 2025 23:25 +0000at://did:plc:vu7krlmunigjhdodjwjx5t3x/app.bsky.feed.post/3lhmqq3nncc2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/drbbayruthie.bsky.social/post/3lhk42h57ps2i"The hike itself was rigorous, even for one trained in advanced walking."

Using inclusive language creates a larger table with more seats. No identities were erased in our book. If that's threatening to you, it shows that you think only Your Way or operating in the world is valid. Including other people is not erasure.16 Jan 2025 15:11 +0000at://did:plc:vu7krlmunigjhdodjwjx5t3x/app.bsky.feed.post/3lfukvh4kvc2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/drbbayruthie.bsky.social/post/3lfukrxusrs2hThis is a review for my book.
