And now your wrist hurts. If you’re experiencing pain along the thumb side of your wrist after having a baby, you may be dealing with what’s commonly called “Mommy Thumb” or “Mom Wrist.” Its medical name is De Quervain’s tenosynovitis, and it’s incredibly common during the postpart

Understanding the Importance of Hydration When people come to see me for pelvic floor physiotherapy, they're often surprised when I ask about one simple habit: How much water do you drink each day? Many individuals intentionally drink less water because they worry about urinary urgency or frequent bathroom trips. While this may seem like a good strategy, it can actually worsen bladder symptoms. The Effects of Dehydration When you're dehydrated, your urine becomes more concent

With our fantastic pediatric Chiropractor, Dr. Karishma You may have been told to “just put the baby on the breast”—but quickly realized it’s not always that simple. Maybe the latch is painful. Feeds are taking up your entire day. Your baby seems frustrated, or never quite satisfied. What many parents don’t realize is that feeding is actually a highly coordinated skill between you and your baby—not just something that automatically “clicks.” Feeding is a Full-Body Effort, Not

With lactation and infant feeding specialist, Alicia Cerda What Does a Lactation Consultant Actually Help With? If you had asked me this a few years ago, I would have said: breastfeeding positions and latch. Even as a dietitian who had breastfeeding classes in school, that was my understanding. I thought a lactation consultant was someone you saw if your baby wouldn’t latch, or maybe to learn how to hold your baby at the breast. It wasn’t until I went through my own first bre

With our superstar chiropractor, Dr. Sophie Smith Pregnancy is an incredible journey—one filled with joy, anticipation, and wonder. But let’s be honest—it also brings some major physical changes that your body may not be used to. As your body works hard to grow a new life, it’s common to experience a variety of discomforts such as back pain, headaches, pelvic pressure, and even sleep disturbances. Every pregnancy is unique, just like every body is different. That’s why it’s i

With our strong-a** strength trainer, Denise I only started strength training because I wanted a nicer butt. I was thirty-seven, and for years had sworn I would never set foot in a gym. I thought it was for a bunch of brutes randomly heaving things up and down over and over again while grunting. Of course, in any public gym you will encounter some of that, I’m afraid, but little did I know that learning how to strength train properly actually involved an immense amount of tec

with our phenomenal doula and childbirth educator, Vera Thinking back to when I was pregnant with my first baby, there were many things that I did not know that I might have benefited from knowing, or maybe I had heard it but didn’t take the advice. I knew enough to have my health checked out, I started taking a multivitamin, and I booked my partner and I into a childbirth course. I saw my family doctor until a midwife was available to take us on (which didn’t happen until I

with our Doula and Childbirth Educator, Vera Kevic Why take a childbirth class? Most people get pregnant and birth their baby without ever taking a class on childbirth, and without doing any formal prenatal prep at all! 90% of first-time parents will not take any prenatal classes, BUT babies will come out one way or the other.
