Pelvic health symptoms can be closely related to pelvic floor muscle dysfunction, nutrition deficiencies, sleep disturbances, unruly stress, and sub-optimal movement patterns. Often, more than one system is involved co-exist with digestion issues, hormonal imbalances, and metabolic dysfunction.

That’s why I focus on addressing major body systems.

Musculoskeletal: (Pelvic Floor Muscles) = pelvic floor muscle dysfunction

Nueromuscular: (nerves, muscles, brain) = movement-related dysfunction and pain

Neuroendocrine: (Adrenals, thyroid, brain) = Hormonal imbalances

Gastrointestinal: (stomach, small and large intestines, gall bladder, and pancreas) = digestion issues

Detoxification: (liver, gall bladder, elimination) = metabolic dysfunction

Prioritizing support and balancing these systems will allow you to address your symptoms to stop the cycle of feeling like something isn’t right. The best part, we can work on the root cause simultaneously.
