For women ready to feel strong, supported, and at home in their bodies again

By Dr. Rebecca | Wellara Physiotherapy – Aliso Viejo, CA

You know which stores have the cleanest bathrooms on your usual errands. You opt out of jumping exercises at the gym — not because you can’t, but because you don’t want to risk it. You always pack a liner or pad, even when you don’t “really need one.”

If any of that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

And while it might feel like a small inconvenience, it’s often your body’s way of asking for attention — gently but persistently.

You’re Not Broken — You’re Just Adapting

I work with women every day who’ve quietly adjusted their lives around symptoms they were told to ignore.

Maybe you’ve been told it’s “normal after kids” or “just part of getting older.”

But I’m here to tell you:

Just because it’s common doesn’t mean it’s normal.

If you're leaking, bracing before a sneeze, or feeling disconnected from your body, that’s not weakness — that’s a sign your pelvic floor may need support.

Everyday Symptoms Are Still Worth Addressing

Pelvic floor dysfunction isn’t always obvious.

Sometimes it hides in the subtle ways you shift or avoid:

Leaking with laughing, coughing, or lifting
A feeling of heaviness or pressure in your pelvis
Frequent or urgent bathroom trips
Low back or tailbone discomfort with no clear cause
Core weakness or instability during workouts
Discomfort with intimacy or pelvic exams

These symptoms don’t have to become your “new normal.”

They’re simply your body’s quiet way of asking for care.

My Approach as a Pelvic Floor Therapist

At Wellara, I offer one-on-one pelvic floor therapy rooted in education, movement, and real conversation.

I’ll never rush you or push you into anything you’re not ready for.

Instead, I focus on:

Understanding your story and goals
Exploring breath, core, and pelvic floor coordination
Gently reconnecting you to your body through movement
Supporting you with tools you can use in everyday life

Each session is personalized and private — and always centered around your comfort.
