Care
Athletes
Leaking in a long run or under a heavy bar is common in athletes, and it is a reason to ask, not to stop.
What it can look like
Runners, lifters, players and dancers come to us with leaking, pressure or a sense that their middle is not keeping up. We look at how you breathe and brace, how you load, and what the sport asks of you, then build a plan that keeps you training.
Leaking while you run, jump or lift
Heaviness or pressure with load

Coming back to sport after birth or surgery
What happens
How we work with you
We listen first
We ask what you do, how often, and what you want to keep doing.
We look at how you move
We watch a few of your movements and check breathing, hips and core.
You choose the plan
A plan that fits your training week, with the core class if you want company.
- Chest pain, trouble breathing, a sudden severe headache or pain, new weakness or numbness, loss of bladder or bowel control, or a fall with a head injury needs emergency care now. Call 911.
Questions about this
Do I have to join a class?
No. Many people come for an evaluation and a plan and nothing more. The classes are there if you want to keep moving with the same people.
Will I need an internal exam?
Only if you want one, and never at a first visit by default. We explain what it is, ask before each step, and stop the moment you say so. Many evaluations are a conversation and a look at how you move.
How long is a visit, and who treats me?
Your first visit is about an hour with a physical therapist, in a private room. Later visits can be shorter. You see the same therapist, and you can ask for a particular one.
