Celebrating Women’s Health & Fitness Day: Strength at Every Stage of Life
Women’s Health & Fitness Day is about celebrating strength, resilience, and the unique health journeys women experience at every stage of life. From the first steps into motherhood to navigating midlife changes, to staying strong and independent as we age, women’s health deserves care that is personal, supportive, and empowering.
At Advanced Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine, we’re here to help women move confidently, feel their best, and thrive at every step of the journey.
Supporting Moms Before and After Baby
Pregnancy and childbirth bring joy, but they can also bring challenges like back pain, core weakness, or pelvic floor changes. Our pre- and post-partum program is designed to support moms with gentle, effective care before, during, and after pregnancy.
We help women:
Stay active and strong while expecting
Prepare their bodies for delivery
Recover after childbirth
Address concerns like diastasis recti, incontinence, or pelvic pain
Our goal is to help moms feel like themselves again and even stronger than before.
Pelvic Health: Confidence from the Inside Out
Pelvic health affects so much of daily life, yet it’s often not talked about enough. Whether it’s bladder leaks, pain, or weakness, these issues are common, but they’re not something you have to “just live with.”
Our pelvic health specialists provide one-on-one care to:
Improve bladder and bowel control
Relieve pelvic pain
Rebuild strength and stability in the core
Restore comfort during exercise, activity, or intimacy
With the right support, women can move freely without worry or discomfort.
Building Strong Bones for the Future
Bone health is another key part of women’s wellness. Conditions like osteopenia and osteoporosis can sneak up as we age, making bones weaker and increasing the risk of fractures or falls. The good news? You can take steps now to protect your bone health.
Through guided exercise, strength training, and balance work, our therapists help women:
Strengthen bones with safe, weight-bearing activity
Improve posture and core support
Reduce the risk of falls
Stay active and independent longer
Quick Tips for Women’s Health & Fitness
Small steps can add up to big changes in your health. Here are a few simple ways to stay strong and active at every stage of life:
Prioritize strength training – Building muscle protects your bones, improves posture, and boosts confidence.
Don’t ignore your pelvic floor – Gentle core and pelvic floor exercises can prevent leaks, reduce pain, and improve stability.
Stay active in ways you enjoy – Walking, yoga, swimming, or dancing, movement should feel good, not like a chore.
Protect your bones – Include weight-bearing activities like brisk walking or light resistance training to support bone density.
Listen to your body – If something feels off (pain, weakness, leaks, or balance changes), reach out. Early help makes a big difference.
Whole-Person Care, Designed for Women
We believe health isn’t just about fixing pain; it’s about building a plan for lifelong wellness. That’s why our PTs and OTs take a team approach, working alongside physicians, fitness professionals, and most importantly, you, to create care that fits your goals and lifestyle.
Whether you’re preparing for motherhood, building strength through midlife, or protecting your independence later in life, we’re here to support your journey.
