More Than Kegels Workshop

Time: 
Location: Rosemont Wellness Center
Cost: Free
Host: Allison Poole, PT, MPT, WHC

EVENT DETAILS

“You should do your kegels” is often the only advice we get when it comes to incontinence, pain and prolapse. There are some people who say “don’t do kegels, do squats.” It’s confusing and wait- I don’t even know how to do a kegel!”

If any of this sounds familiar, this is the workshop for you!

We will break it down into:

  • What is the pelvic floor
  • Symptoms if it’s not working as well as it should be
  • Why kegels are NOT the answer
  • How you can begin to gain control of your pelvic floor in everyday activities
  • We’ll also discuss how what you’re eating & drinking can help support a healthy pelvis

This workshop is for anyone who is interested in learning more about a healthy pelvis.

This workshop is FREE but space is limited, so please register ahead of time to secure your spot.

Host: Allison Poole, PT, MPT, WHC

EVENT DETAILS
There’s a huge gap in quality, evidence-based information that is easily digestible and accessible to women experiencing the hormonal storm that is perimenopause. If you’re like me and all of the women I work with, you’re extremely busy. It’s frustrating to feel like it’s yet again on you to research and figure out what to do to feel better and traverse the confusing world of hormones. 
 
That’s why I’ve created this perimenopause workshop: Beyond Hot FlashesHow to Navigate Hormones, Health and Energy in Your 40’s + 50’s
 
It’ll be informational, easily digestible with lots of time for Q + A, and give you some ideas to get you started on a path forward. I’d love to have you join us! Here are the details: 
 
In this interactive, in-person workshop, you’ll learn: 
  • What exactly is happening within your body and what is normal during the transition to menopause (starting around age 40!) so you can stop googling or throwing money at supplements that aren’t helping!
  • What hormones are causing common symptoms of perimenopause like weight gainbrain foganxietylow libido, poor sleep + yes hot flashes
  • What simple lifestylestress + nutrition changes you can implement to feel better now and create a strong, vibrant life for decades to come. Changes that do not include restrictive diets or unsustainable exercise regimens that you have to fit into your already jam-packed life.
  • clear understanding of what all your options are, the ability to advocate for yourself + a path forward.
Reach out with any questions! I hope to see you there!
