Kara Weber (Physical Therapist Assistant) and Lauren Smithson (Physical Therapist)
For generations postpartum, urinary, bowel, and any problems within the pelvis have been “hush hush.” Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy is a specialized branch targeted to find solutions and treat aches, pains, and problems originating in the abdominal and pelvic region. This presentation will be for those that would like to know some basic information to help themselves with pelvic health.
Though all are welcome, the presentation will be geared toward pregnant women, women who have had a baby (even if it has been years), or women who generally struggle with similar issues as mentioned. Join us for a conversation about an important topic!

Presented by Kevin Wood
President Abraham Lincoln, in period dress, talks about his own life and the history of the USA from Independence through the Civil War, with a special emphasis on 12 turbulent years from 1854 to 1865 which nearly destroyed our young nation but instead eventually resulted in a “new birth of freedom”.
President Lincoln is portrayed by Kevin Wood, a professional Lincoln portrayer, who bears a remarkable resemblance to The Great Emancipator and who is extremely knowledgeable about his life and times. For more info about the presenter and the program, visit mrlincoln.com.
