We Have Pelvic Floor Therapy
And It May Be the Missing Piece to Your Core, Bladder, and Pelvic Health.
No changing clothes. No internal devices. No embarrassing exercises. Just sit, relax, and let your pelvic floor and core muscles get the wake-up call they may need.
If you have been dealing with leaking, urgency, weak core muscles, pelvic pressure, low back instability, changes in confidence after childbirth, menopause, hysterectomy, prostate changes, aging, or stress — your pelvic floor may be asking for support.
Dr. Renee Boccio is thrilled to be offering a new, non-invasive pelvic floor and core strengthening therapy using the Tone4Life Pelvic Floor Chair.
This device utilizes advanced High-Intensity Electromagnetic Muscle Stimulation technology to deliver deep, targeted stimulation to tone and strengthen your pelvic floor and core musculature.
You remain fully clothed and comfortably seated during the 30-minute session. You will experience approximately 11,000 targeted contractions, equivalent to performing thousands of Kegel exercises—with proper form, consistency, and intensity every time.
Pelvic floor dysfunction can affect both women and men. It can show up after pregnancy, menopause, hysterectomy, prostate changes, hormone shifts, chronic stress, aging, low back issues, poor posture, abdominal weakness, or years of holding tension in the body.
Why Kegels May Not Be Enough
Most people have heard of Kegels. Unfortunately, pelvic floor health is not just about squeezing harder.
Some people cannot activate the pelvic floor correctly. Some people are actually too tight and need better coordination. Others have weak abdominal muscles, poor posture, stress-based tension patterns, constipation, hormone changes, or nervous system imbalance that keeps the pelvic floor from functioning well. That is why doing random Kegels at home may not solve the problem.
At Welcome To Wellness, Dr. Renee looks deeper.
Instead of only asking, “What symptom do you have?” We ask, “Why is your body struggling to support, stabilize, coordinate, and hold strength?”
A Root-Cause Approach to Pelvic Floor and Core Health
At Welcome To Wellness, the pelvic floor chair is not just a stand-alone treatment. It is part of a bigger whole-body approach.
Dr. Renee may look at factors such as:
Pelvic floor strength
Core weakness
Posture and spinal patterns
Low back and hip stability
Breathing mechanics
Nervous system stress
Hormone changes
Menopause, postpartum, or hysterectomy history
Prostate-related changes
Constipation and bowel habits
Inflammation and lifestyle patterns
Because your pelvic floor is part of your whole body, your care should be too.
For Women
Women may benefit from pelvic floor and core support after:
Pregnancy
Childbirth
C-section
Hysterectomy
Menopause
Hormone changes
Chronic stress
Aging
Low back or hip instability
Years of abdominal weakness
If you feel like your body changed and never fully came back online, your pelvic floor and core may be part of that story.
For Men
Pelvic floor health is not just a women’s issue. Men have a pelvic floor too, and it plays an important role in bladder control, core stability, posture, and confidence.
Men may also experience pelvic floor dysfunction, especially with:
Aging
Prostate-related changes
Core weakness
Low back tension
Hip tightness
Chronic stress
Postural strain
Bladder urgency
Changes in pelvic control or sexual function
What to Expect
Your first step is a private consultation with Dr. Renee.
This is where you can talk openly about what you are experiencing, what you have tried, and what your goals are. And for many people, this is the conversation they wish they had started sooner.
Dr. Renee will help determine whether the Tone4Life Pelvic Floor Chair may be appropriate for you and how it may fit into your overall wellness plan.
Our goal is not just to chase symptoms. Our goal is to help your body rebuild strength, support, coordination, and confidence from the inside out.

Disclaimer
The Pelvic Floor Chair uses electromagnetic muscle stimulation intended to support conditioning, toning, and strengthening of the pelvic floor and core musculature. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition. Individual results vary. A consultation is required to determine whether this program is appropriate for you.
At Welcome To Wellness, we are here to help you uncover what’s been invisible or hidden from you about your health. We know that often the underlying causes of symptoms are not investigated. That’s where we come in…
Functional medicine focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of symptoms. Each symptom may be one of many that are contributing to an individual’s symptoms.
Looking at the picture below, you can see the organs and systems that can be affected by inflammation. Whereas others will look to stop the symptom, or suppress the symptom, we look for the root cause. The keys to health and longevity are to figure out where the inflammation is coming from and how we can address it to heal YOU from the inside out.
Every person is different based on their genes, environment, and lifestyle. Only support that addresses the right cause will have a lasting benefit. We seek to help your symptoms, versus symptom chasing. We, of course, look at your symptoms, but we also look beyond the symptoms, to see you, the person as a WHOLE. Then we create a custom program designed specifically for YOU!!
Here at Welcome to Wellness our focus is on:
- helping your body lower inflammation
- Reset and Rebalance hormones
- Help your body reverse age or age in a healthier and easier way
- Deal with menopause better
- Find out why you have gut issues
- Uncover reasons for skin issues
- Lose weight
- Decrease Body Fat
- Help your body build and keep muscle
- AND TEACH YOU ABOUT YOUR BODY SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO RELY ON OTHERS FOR YOUR HEALTH GOALS!
Here are some testimonials that speak to our work.
Hi Dr. Renee!
You helped me to understand my body from a functional medicine perspective. What truly helped me a great deal is the way you analyzed my blood work and showed me that standard lab results do not show ranges that are for optimal organ and system functioning. Understanding the narrower ranges for optimal vitalization has really been life changing in raising my awareness about my own health.
Finally, I appreciated your style. You are real, direct, knowledgeable, and you took the time to show me and teach me.
Much Love,
Laurie
Breathing Wellness:
WHAT IS SOMATO-RESPIRATORY INTEGRATION
And
WHAT CAN IT DO FOR ME?
Breathing Wellness is not about teaching you how to breath. It’s about teaching you and your body to adapt to life stresses because of how your body has stored stress from the present and the past. It’s about your wellness because it releases the stress, traumas and emotions that no longer serve you, your life, or your wellness.
Breathing Wellness works with the Vagus Nerve and balances your nervous system and brain. A balanced nervous system will help you hustle when you need to hustle and heal, repair and recover when you need to heal, repair and recover.
Breathing Wellness is a specific set of exercises designed to help connect your body (somatic), your breath (respiratory), your body’s energy and inner wisdom. Life, and all the things that come with life, can distract us from staying grounded. Breathing Wellness helps reconnect you to your center so that the outside distractions do not throw you off your game.
Breathing Wellness lays its foundation in Somato-Respiratory Integration, which originates from Dr. Donald Epstein, the creator and developer of Network Spinal Analysis.
According to Dr. Epstein,
“When we can breathe fully and freely, we bring life, movement, peace, energy, and relaxation throughout the body. When these elements are combined or integrated, what results is a breakdown of old tension and a release of healing power for use to the benefit of your greater being.”
Traumatic events in your life that are interpreted by your brain as not “safe” to experience will be stored in the body as vibration. Over time, that energetic vibration will take physical form as muscle spasm, pain, spinal distortion, posture changes, reduced breathing, and reduced motion. Your ability to connect with those areas of the body becomes impaired, since your body perceives that original vibration as unsafe to deal with. It is only when you can experience the original energy in safety, can you turn that once offensive event into your medicine; your fuel for healing!
Each Breathing Wellness exercise addresses a pattern that has been stuck in the body. With your hands placed on your body in specific places, we can free the bound-up energy and spontaneous healing can occur.
Breathing Wellness exercises differ from breath work therapies. Think of these exercises as connection exercises. Just like you go to the gym for greater muscle strength and cardiovascular health; these exercises can be incorporated into your daily routine, strengthening your connection of your body, nervous system, health, wellness and mood.
Most important in Breathing Wellness exercises is that your “higher” brain becomes engaged in the process. By this, we do not mean that you think, analyze, or rationalize what is going on in your session at that time. We are accessing the healing power of your body and your brain. The alternative is automatic breathing, which we do every day, but that may not be in your highest health interest.
Your connection to your body will be facilitated with a trained Breathing Wellness Educator. This is someone who helps you to find your inner peace, your inner strength, your inner empowerment, and/or your inner healing. When you tap into your body’s wisdom, it will improve your health and your life. You only have one body and we are here to help you take care of it!
The vagus nerve is a crucial component of the nervous system, responsible for regulating various bodily functions such as digestion, heart rate, and breathing. Supporting the vagus nerve can have a positive impact on overall health and well-being. Here are some ways to support the vagus nerve:
- Deep breathing: Slow, deep breaths stimulate the vagus nerve and help to promote relaxation.
- Exercise: Regular exercise can improve vagal tone, which is the measure of the strength and function of the vagus nerve.
- Meditation: Mindfulness meditation and other relaxation techniques can help to stimulate the vagus nerve and promote relaxation.
- Cold exposure: Exposure to cold water or air can stimulate the vagus nerve and improve overall nerve function.
- Probiotics: Research suggests that probiotics can improve vagal function and overall gut health.
- Massage: Gentle massage, especially around the neck and throat, can help to stimulate the vagus nerve.
- Social engagement: Positive social interactions, such as spending time with friends and family, can help to improve vagal tone and overall well-being.
Toxins come from our air, water, alcohol, drugs, medications, food and what we put on our body. These toxins get stored in our fat cells. The liver and skin do their best to get rid of these toxins but sometimes it’s too much and the body gets overloaded by them.
This sheet shows some of the effects of toxins on the body.
If you are looking for healthy ways to cleanse or get rid of toxins, we can create programs designed specifically for you. These programs include proper nutrition based on testing that we do to figure out where you’re lacking in vitamins and minerals. We also look to see if you have too much of certain vitamins and minerals.
At Welcome to Wellness, we have detoxification tools in our office such as an infrared, RED LIGHT, sauna as well as a detoxification foot bath station. These methods, coupled with the inside out approach makes for the perfect program for your body and the health goals that you have.
We look forward to working with you!
Biofeedback is a powerful tool to empower individuals to tune into their body’s signals. These signals can be out of the level of awareness because they are subtle and therefore, overlooked.
Biofeedback involves using a non invasive, pain free device to get information about the body’s functions back to the individual. This allows someone to gain a deeper understanding of their body. It’s like holding up a mirror to the inner workings of one’s body, revealing the effects of stress, relaxation, and emotional states on physical health.
Biomechanical changes and stress to the neuromusculoskeletal system are present during and immediately after pregnancy. Chiropractic evaluation and treatment during this period may be warranted and considered a safe and effective means of treating common musculoskeletal symptoms that many pregnant patients encounter. Scientific evidence supports the effectiveness of pre and postnatal chiropractic support.
Chiropractic care during pregnancy may improve your emotional well-being, alleviate stress, and help with common discomforts such as back pain, pelvic pain, and sciatica.
In postnatal care, chiropractors may offer treatments to address emotional well-being, stress, nutrition and musculoskeletal issues that may have arisen during pregnancy or childbirth.
The normal birthing process is a potential source of trauma to the infant’s spine. At Welcome To Wellness, Dr Renee extends her understanding of spinal segmental dysfunction, or subluxation in chiropractic terminology, to apply to newborn spinal function, with the resultant concern for the health of the infant. Correction of such a presentation may be accomplished through various light, precise, gentle techniques.
Supporting Growth and Development for Children and Adolescents
The care we provide at Welcome to Wellness isn’t just beneficial for mothers. It can also play a significant role in the healthy development of children and adolescents.

Muscle and trigger point therapy focuses on relieving pain and tension caused by trigger points, which are taut bands of skeletal muscle that can feel like small knots or marbles under your skin. These points can cause pain at their location or even refer pain to other parts of the body.
Key Aspects of Trigger Point Therapy:
- Identification: Trigger points are identified by their tenderness and the pain they cause.
- Causes: They can form due to muscle injury, stress, poor posture, or repetitive movements.
- Treatment Options:
- Massage: Applying pressure to the trigger points can help alleviate pain.
- Stretching: Regular stretching can help relieve muscle tension.
- Neuromuscular Therapy,
- Muscle Energy Techniques,
- Lifestyle Modifications: Improving posture, addressing muscle imbalances, and ensuring proper nutrition can help manage and prevent trigger points.
