Pivotal Physical Therapy Promotes Pelvic Health

By Erin Pinkerton— MUNCIE, Ind. — It’s no secret that having a baby permanently changes a woman’s body. The secret might be that, even after having a baby, a woman’s body should still function well. Women are often told that incontinence, pelvic pain and other pelvic health issues are the price they pay for having carried or delivered a baby.

John Carlson: Falling Can Be Bad, And Good

By John Carlson— September was Fall Prevention Month, which I celebrated by not falling. Nancy is a real stickler about this, always warning me not to fall, not that I usually have much choice in the matter. Her reasoning is, it’s a short trip from sprawling on the deck at the back of your house to drooling on your jammies in a nursing home.
