About This Podcast Julie and Kathryn talk about what the core is, and how it is currently being redefined. Kathryn asks about popular topics like alignment, and why we hear the cue to “drop your ribs” so frequently. They always bring it back to a biopsychosocial perspective and discuss how everything from language to posture […]

What is a normal diastasis? One of my favorite things to do clinically is to reassure women that they don’t have a ‘diastasis’. And yes, I just used air quotes (written air quotes, but…not to be sarcastic, instead to ease women’s minds). I love telling them that yes, you have a gap, technically a ‘diastasis’. […]

It’s that time of year again, time for a summer sabbatical for me from social media. My kids are off school, and I am very aware that I am running out of summers with them. I have done these in the past and in addition to being life giving…literally….they have also been important for me to […]

Q: OK, here’s my question that I have been thinking about for a while. Is the goal to make the prolapse go away, is that possible or are we aiming to have no symptoms. Without a doubt these principles have alleviated symptoms ( many years past delivery) but I still have a stage 2 prolapse. […]

I like to think of a diastasis that has resisted closure like an open zipper. An open fly affects more that just the zipper, it strains the button above, it messes with the fit of the pants, exposes things not supposed to be exposed, etc. Addressing your zipper may need a multi-tiered approach to re-zip: […]

The #pelvicmafia origins story is not as interesting as the cheeky topics members of the Mafioso get into on twitter, nor does it demonstrate the rich tradition, rituals, secret handshakes or hazing. But it is at its heart a tale of passion, that began on twitter and has grown into a network of international practitioners […]

The athleticism at the 2012 Olympics and Paralympics was absolutely inspiring. I said “WOW” so many times I lost count. Some of the wows were for the stories of the athletes overcoming injuries or difficult circumstances to achieve their Olympic moment. Injuries got a lot of press this summer, and a LOT of tape. That […]
