August (or Fog-ust, depending on where you are 😅) is here, so I thought it's time to formally introduce myself!
🤍 My name is Jillian, and I am a Doctor of Physical Therapy and Founder of Libra Pelvic Physical Therapy. 👩🏻⚕️
🤍 I started this practice to better serve my community and provide quality pelvic health care here in West Contra Costa County. 🫶🏻
🤍 I love to learn, teach, and collaborate. In my heart of hearts, I truly believe that knowledge is power. Catch me happily geeking out about pelvic health (or anything, really) during our sessions. 🤓
🤍 My background in orthopedics definitely influences how I treat as a pelvic PT. For instance, if your pelvic floor issues occur while running, you better believe we're analyzing your running mechanics! 🏃🏻♀️
🤍 I am, in fact, a Libra. I'd like to think I live by its core tenets of fairness, justice, and harmony. And yes, I love pretty things. 🌸
A huge thanks and special shoutout to @jmrln for these amazing photos!
Now everybody say happy birthday to my dad and Barack Obama!! 🗣️🎉

PART TWO on what you can expect during sessions with me! Internal assessment and treatment can give us a better understanding of how the pelvic floor itself is feeling and moving. We also can do this in different positions to see how your pelvic floor acts in various conditions. Not mentioned in this video is that, yes, we can even do the internal component while you're moving! 🤯
And this should go without saying, but all assessments and treatments (whether external or internal) are only done with your consent!

PART ONE on what you can expect during sessions with me! Here we talk about the external components of a session, including visual screens, exercise, manual therapy, and conversations on your care. There is so much we can do beyond internal assessment or treatment!
Stay tuned for part ✌🏼 and reach out with any questions!

Come with me to an IBX Core Class! 🔥
I love that each IBX class is structured with adequate warm-ups, rest breaks, and cooldowns to make sure you can do the workouts as safely as possible. They also encourage self-care outside of the gym, like their reminders to eat a nourishing post-workout meal after class. Plus, their workouts leave you feeling accomplished, not drained! 🤍
If you're looking for challenging workouts in a fun and supportive environment, check out IBX Fitness. I'll be here to help you and your pelvic floor make the most of each class. ☺️

Newly postpartum and wondering if you can bring baby to your sessions here? The answer is yes! 🤗
If pelvic PT is your time to pour back into yourself in a kid-free environment, then of course we'll keep it that way. I also am a firm believer that a huge part of pelvic health is social support, so if bringing your baby to your sessions means one less worry off your mind, then your little one is more than welcome to join us! 👶🏽
Baby needs a nap? We'll dim the lights and play white noise. Baby needs to feed? We'll use that time to chat. Baby wants to play while listening to Ms. Rachel? I'll bring out the toys, and she's taking over the speakers. (Who wants to listen to my playlist anyway, am I right?)
From one mom to another, I got you. 🤍
