IT’S MORE COMMON THAN YOU THINK…

Womanhood encompasses a journey filled with both challenges and excitement. No one prepares you for the roller coaster of experiences and challenges that come with being a woman. If you are experiencing urinary or fecal incontinence, pain with sexual intercourse, or health issues with your pregnancy and postpartum period, you have come to the right place. The Pelvic OT will help you navigate these health problems and feel like yourself again.

MAYBE YOU’VE FOUND YOURSELF

Experiencing bladder and bowel leaks

Urinary and fecal incontinence can feel daunting, but remember, you're not alone in this journey. Every step you take towards managing it is a courageous stride towards reclaiming your confidence and comfort.

Having difficulty during intimacy due to pain

Experiencing pain during sexual intimacy can be incredibly challenging, but it's important to know that there is hope and support available. You are not defined by this pain, and it doesn't diminish your worth or your ability to experience intimacy and pleasure. Remember, you deserve to feel joy and fulfillment in your intimate relationships, and there are solutions and strategies to help you overcome this obstacle.

Feeling disconnected from your body and nervous about exercising again after having a baby

Dear postpartum warrior, I see your strength and determination as you navigate the journey of motherhood. It's completely normal to face challenges like diastasis recti and pelvic floor dysfunction after childbirth, but please know that you're not alone in this journey. Your body has accomplished an incredible feat, and now it's time to honor it with patience, compassion, and gentle care.

Stiffness in your low back, and pain in your hips all throughout the day

Hip and back pain during pregnancy are common, yet that doesn't diminish the toll it can take on you. Know that every ache and pain is a reminder of the incredible transformation your body is undergoing to nurture new life. Our holistic care is designed to support your physical, emotional, and social well-being throughout their journey to motherhood.

Here’s how The Pelvic OT can help:

Eliminate leaking naturally

Your pelvic floor is special group of muscles that must be strong and flexible to work best. Most leaking is resolved after we work on restoring your pelvic floor’s natural range of motion with a simple set of exercises and movement strategies.

Enjoy intimacy again

Experiencing pelvic pain is incredibly common postpartum and during other stressful times of life. With our holistic approach we can help reduce the pain symptoms and give you a wide variety of techniques to start enjoying intimacy again. No matter how long it’s been.

Feel like yourself

Life is busy and it can be stressful! We know that the answer isn’t to just give you a set of exercises and send you on your way. We work with you on strategies to move pain-free, feel less overwhelmed, and more confident. And we do it in a way that fits into YOUR lifestyle.

Meet Jaimee Hegge - Your Pelvic Health Therapist Serving Connecticut

My story with pelvic floor issues began unexpectedly, catching me off guard during a time when I felt the least prepared. After an unexpected c-section during the birth of my first child, I started experiencing discomfort and noticed changes in my pelvic region that I couldn't ignore. What began as occasional discomfort soon escalated into persistent pelvic pain, urinary incontinence, and challenges with intimacy.

Navigating these issues was not easy. It took me on a rollercoaster of emotions, from frustration and embarrassment to uncertainty and fear. I felt lost, struggling to find answers and support in a world where pelvic health issues were often overlooked or stigmatized.

Through this journey, I discovered the power of pelvic floor therapy and holistic approaches to pelvic health. With the guidance of skilled healthcare professionals and the support of a compassionate community, I learned how to strengthen my pelvic floor, manage symptoms, and cultivate a deeper connection with my body.

As an occupational therapist specializing in pelvic floor issues, I am committed to providing compassionate care, education, and support to women navigating their own challenges. Together, we can embark on a journey towards healing, empowerment, and a renewed zest for life.

I invite you to join me on this journey, where we embrace vulnerability, celebrate progress, and cultivate resilience in pursuit of pelvic health and well-being.

Let's embark on this path together, one step at a time.
