Dr. Chrissy - Pelvic Floor Therapist

Meet Chrissy Daigle, OTD, OTR/L ✨ It felt like a good time for a reintroduction. I’m Dr. Chrissy Daigle, owner of Pelvic Solutions, a specialty pelvic health practice offering both clinic-based and in-home pelvic floor therapy. With a Doctorate in Occupational Therapy (OTD) and extensive education in pelvic health, I treat clients of all genders with bladder, bowel, and sexual health concerns. I’m passionate about helping individuals achieve their highest potential and enhance their quality of life, utilizing my medical expertise with a compassionate approach throughout my practice. A bit about me: 🤍 Background: Doctorate in Occupational Therapy (OTD) from Nova Southeastern University, Licensed Occupational Therapist (OTR/L) 🤍 Specialties: Pelvic health 🤍 Philosophy: A client-centered approach that emphasizes empowerment, holistic care, and individualized interventions 🤍 Hobbies: Reading, outdoor activities (walking, hiking, kayaking, boating), and spending time with my husband, Drew, and our dog, Lilly 🤍 Fun fact: I grew up in Tampa and attended both college and graduate school here. I’ve loved watching the city transform over the years. One thing about me is that I LOVE occupational therapy. It’s the perfect blend of science, creativity, and compassion. We are problem-solving masters, integrating motivational interviewing skills to understand your habits, roles, routines, and priorities to help you achieve your goals. I use all of my OT skills in pelvic health to assess individuals’ sensory systems, musculoskeletal health (strength, range of motion, mobility), and personal skills to address tasks such as toileting, intimacy without pain, and enjoying life without bladder or bowel issues. My goal is to help you gain the skills and strategies needed to accomplish everything you want and need to do. My favorite part of working in pelvic health is the diverse group of clients I’m fortunate to treat. From ages 18 to 90+, with any bladder, bowel, intimacy, pre/postpartum, or prolapse concerns, I’m here to help.

Symptoms don’t always show up during big, obvious moments like double unders, sneezing, or coughing. 
They often happen during the in-between—small tasks around the house, caring for your baby, or even while resting. This is exactly why a functional assessment matters. Your pelvic floor is part of a system:
✨ It works with your breath
✨ It coordinates with your core + hips
✨ It responds to posture, load, and movement patterns So before jumping into strengthening, we have to ask:
👉 Is it weak, overactive, or just not coordinating well?
👉 What happens when you move, lift, squat, carry your baby?
👉 Are you managing pressure effectively? Because real progress comes from:
✔️ Understanding your specific pattern
✔️ Restoring coordination (not just strength)
✔️ Building strength that actually translates to daily life Your body deserves more than a one-size-fits-all approach. If you’ve been doing “all the right things” and still dealing with symptoms, it might be time to look deeper. 🤍 #pelvicfloor #pelvichealth #functionalmovement #womenshealth

We love providing samples of lubricants, vaginal moisturizers, and serums that could help you level up your pelvic health. What we’re looking for in a good lube:
♥️ Osmolality that won’t irritate delicate tissue
♥️ pH-balanced to support the vaginal environment
♥️ Free from glycerin, parabens, and unnecessary additives
♥️ Long-lasting glide without feeling sticky
♥️ Compatible with your body and your lifestyle Some of our go-to favorites: Good Clean Love, Slippery Stuff, and Uberlube 👏 The right lube can be a game changer 🙌 Not sure what’s best for you? That’s literally what we’re here for 🤍 #pelvichealth #womenshealthmatters #lube101 #painfreesex #vaginalhealth

“Mommy thumb” AKA De Quervain’s tenosynovitis - a sign your body needs support 🤍 If you’ve noticed pain at the base of your thumb or along your wrist when lifting your baby, opening jars, or even texting… you’re not alone. It happens when the tendons in your wrist become irritated from repetitive strain (aka all the holding, feeding, carrying, and comforting you do daily). ✨ Why it happens:
- Repetitive lifting (especially with your thumbs outstretched)
- Hormonal changes affecting tissue sensitivity
- Weakness or imbalance in the wrist + forearm
- Lack of support during feeding or carrying ✨ What it can feel like:
- Sharp or aching pain at the thumb/wrist
- Pain when gripping, twisting, or lifting
- Swelling or tenderness along the thumb side of the wrist ✨ What helps:
- Adjusting how you lift your baby (hint: keep wrists neutral!)
- Using pillows or support during feeds
- Gentle mobility + strengthening exercises (see above!!)
- Bracing in more irritated phases
- Addressing full-body mechanics (yes, even your core + posture matter here!) Your body is adapting to a HUGE new demand. Let’s support it the right way 💪 #mommythumb #postpartumrecovery #pelvichealth #postpartumfitness #fourthtrimester

Learned my lesson the hard way one too many times! 🤣

What a dream it is to provide this care 🤍 ✨

Birth work asks a lot of your body. Long hours, deep squatting, lifting, supporting clients — often for many hours at a time. Over time, these physical demands can contribute to pelvic floor symptoms that many birth workers quietly live with. You deserve the same level of care you encourage your clients to seek.
 To support the people who support so many families, I’m offering a Birth Worker Pelvic Health Intensive for doulas, midwives, rehab professionals, etc. Includes:
• 90-minute comprehensive pelvic floor evaluation
• Two 60-minute follow-up sessions
• Individualized treatment plan and home programming Birth Worker Professional Courtesy Rate: $425
(Standard clinical value $545) Limited space available! DM me for details. #birthworkers #doulalife #birthcommunity #pelvicfloortherapy #pelvichealth postpartumrehab

TMI doesn’t exist in pelvic floor therapy! #pelvicfloortherapy #pelvichealth
