FSN NEWS RELEASE
Dr. Desiree Cassell, Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist and owner of The Balanced Momtality Women’s Health and Wellness is excited to announce a partnership with two local organizations to bring the women in the Los Alamos community two free chances to learn about your healing and restoring your pelvic floor, core and more!
The first free Pelvic Floor 101 workshop will be at The Family Strengths network located 3540 Orange Street, on Thursday, April 25 from 10-11 a.m. During this lecture style class, participants will learn what the pelvic floor is, how it is supposed to function, and how to identify when it’s not functioning correctly. You’ll also learn many tips and strategies for how to manage some of the more common pelvic floor dysfunction conditions like urinary incontinence (leaking), urinary frequency, pelvic pain, pain with intercourse and pelvic organ prolapse.
The second free Pelvic Floor 101 workshop will be at the Family YMCA on Tuesday, April 30 from 10-11 a.m. This workshop is more hands-on and movement based where we will review basic concepts of pelvic floor anatomy/function/signs of dysfunction, but then we will put it all together and move through some breath work and basic pelvic floor and core exercises with feedback from Dr. Cassell.
Don’t have any of these issues but still wondering if your pelvic floor is causing other issues. Come and find out at either or both of the workshops as they overlap but will be structured very differently (lecture vs active). Many other conditions like back pain, diastasis recti, hip pain and tailbone pain are all intimately related to the pelvic floor!
Dr. Desiree (Fellers) Cassell of Balanced Momtality is a Los Alamos native, born and raised, who recently relocated back to town after living in Albuquerque for the last 12 years. There she got her Bachelor’s in Nutrition and Dietetics, her Doctorate in Physical Therapy, and raised her 3 beautiful children. After her first pregnancy, she suffered with her own pelvic floor dysfunction, and like many, she just accepted it as part of motherhood. Sadly, that meant no more jumping on trampolines and crossing her legs fiercely every time she sneezed or laughed so she wouldn’t pee herself. After PT school she got pregnant with her second and was determined to put her knowledge to the test and was able to completely resolve her issues even while she was pregnant. She became very passionate about educating, empowering and supporting other women throughout their lifespan so that they didn’t have to accept these common issues as part of life. This lead to her starting her own private practice, The Balanced Momtality Womens Health and Wellness, located here in town, where she uses her holistic, whole body approach to treat women of all ages help heal their bodies, starting at the core.
