Pelvic Prime now offers Ultrasound Imaging to treat the bladder, bowel, and sexual function for women & men. We can also use it to strengthen the core muscles which helps treat back pain.

There is no extra cost, ultrasound is included as part of a regular physical therapy treatment plan.

The checklist for ultrasounding the lumbar mulifidi is ready for download!

Lumbar Multifidus Ultrasound Checklist This checklist is designed for practitioners using translumbar ultrasound imaging to view the lumbar multifidi muscles. Some of the sections included: 1. External Palpation 2. Transverse view of shape 3. Biofeedback training in sagittal view 4. Spinal loading 5. Depth & Width measurements

Diastasis Recti: How to Treat & Measure Diastasis recti (DRA) is a weakness in the abdomen that causes the re**us abdominis muscles to pull apart at the midline. DRA can happen to both men and women of any age. This handout briefly describes how to measure your DRA at home.

I just finished the Rehabilitative Ultrasound Imaging class taught by Herman & Wallace (HermanWallace.com). My clinic is now offering this service to our patients and clients. It is an excellent way of viewing muscles in action to work on motor control and proper muscle strengthening. Plus, you can view the pelvic floor and bladder transabdominally (for those people that prefer a less invasive assessment). I created this checklist for download for other practitioners and clinicians to use to help keep your treatment focused and organized. I'm working on abdominal, multifidus, and transperineal and should have those posted shortly.

Transabdominal Bladder Ultrasound Checklist This checklist is designed for practitioners using transabdominal ultrasound imaging to view the bladder. Some of the sections included: 1. Bladder Filling protocol 2. Shape of Bladder 3. Respiration 4. Spinal loading 5. Increased IAP 6. Bladder measurements

Finished creating a new patient education handout that is available for download!

Breathing Exercises Can Help Your Floor Inhalation Breathing Exercises Get Your Diaphragm Moving. When the Pelvic Floor Diaphragm gets weak, the body can compensate with tightness. This creates too much tone and stops the diaphragm from moving.

Thank you Crossfit Aiken for the invite, it's going to be a fun night!

I just finished adding Level 3 Diaphragmatic Breathing to the Bronze series!

Pelvic Prime's Memberships

After a bit of a social media break and taking time to get settled in to the new location (which is a wonderful space!) we're excited to be returning to the this September! Put this event on your calendar and come see us!

Remembering with gratitude, the brave heroes who gave all in service to our nation. Remember and honor them this Memorial Day.

This week is Spirit Week at my daughter’s high school and today is Senior Day, as in senior citizen. Rather than use a cane or walker, don a grey wig or robe, she chose to wear a sweat band, athletic clothes and shoes, and carry hand weights. This is a perfect representation of the seniors that I see in my clinic. They are athletic, active, and motivated! Ageism has given many this idea that seniors aren’t and can’t be active. This is absolutely not the case! I’m so proud of my daughter for choosing to represent the reality of the people I work with and for portraying true senior energy!

Check out our Research Corner:
I often say to patients “recent research has shown…”
Where do I get my research resources from? I’m a current member of the APTA Women’s health section and of the orthopedic section and of the South Carolina state section. That means I get the most recent periodicals mailed right to my doorstep. Once I finish reading them, I put them in the lobby to share.
Same with the PubMed articles I find. Once finished reading and gleaning the info, I place them in the research corner.
That means my research sources are the most up to date - and available for clients to look through!

We now have a kid-friendly treatment room available! If a lack of childcare is preventing you from making an appointment, please don't let that stop you. We love kids here at Pelvic Prime and are happy to accommodate well behaved children of all ages. They are welcome to enjoy the toys we provide, or they can bring quiet activities of their own, like coloring books. Your health and comfort is important and we hope this option helps you pursue those goals more easily.

It's no secret that Dr. Rea enjoys her coffee, and now you can too! Whether you need a relaxing cup before a session or a little pick-me-up after a session, we're positive you can find what you need on our new beverage cart. Coffee, juice, bottled water, and tea are all available to you or anyone accompanying you during your appointment. Your comfort is important to us and we hope this helps you relax while visiting Pelvic Prime.

Congratulations to Dr. Rea on becoming a certified Pregnancy and Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist! With this certification, Dr. Rea is even more qualified to help women successfully navigate pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. Working together, we can help increase your comfort during pregnancy, help decrease the chance of injury during birth, and help you recover more quickly and safely after your sweet bundle arrives. Additionally, if you are entering perimenopause or menopause, your hormones and body have undergone a significant change, leaving you more vulnerable to injuries, like prolapse. Dr. Rea can help you navigate this period of your life to prevent injuries and exercise appropriately. Pelvic Prime is now better able than ever to help you enjoy a lifetime of healthy exercise!

We're excited to announce that our first ever front page feature article will be published on March 7th in the Aiken Standard! Learn a little more about Pelvic Prime and Dr. Shandrea Hubbs and the care she provides for the community.

I have the BEST patients! It really sweetened my day to receive this. 😊 And the feeling is mutual - seeing my patients work towards their health goals and discharge from my care when they reach them is so rewarding. Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!

Pelvic Prime updated their phone number.

Today’s the day! Seeing my patients in my new clinic is such an awesome blessing. It’s going to be a great day!

Pelvic Prime updated their address.

It’s move-in weekend! We’ll finish all the heavy lifting today, get it all sorted out and ready for you tomorrow, and welcome you with open doors on Tuesday! We can’t wait for you to come see the new clinic at the intersection of Scholar and University here in Aiken!

Urinary incontinence (UI) is something that many of us will experience at some point in our lives. A lot of us will think it's a normal part of life, whether it is related to aging or our activity level. Many will wonder if it is because of the amount of liquids like water that they are drinking. And I'm here to tell you, that no, generally UI is not affected by how much water or other liquid you are consuming on a daily basis. If you are drinking between about 4 cups and 12 cups of water or other liquids a day, you don't really need to adjust how much you are drinking! So raise a glass of water (or your favorite non-alcoholic beverage) and enjoy without worry about it affecting your urinary incontinence!

As with all things in life, it's beautiful what a little work and progress each day can achieve! We are loving the transformation of the new clinic - this series of photos shows what we've been able to accomplish since the three day weekend and in the evenings. We can't wait to share this new space with you on February 1st!
