The Pelvic Floor Project
This podcast is for anyone with a pelvic floor. Pssst….. everyone has a pelvic floor. The pelvic floor is a group of muscles responsible for controlling our bodily functions. I refer to myself as a physiotherapist for embarrassing issues. I routinely help clients address symptoms like incontinence, prolapse, diastasis, pelvic pain, intimacy issues and the list goes on. A theme that stands out to me is how little we learn about our private parts and the muscles surrounding. This podcast is for you if you are interested in learning more about your body. Focused on the female, I cover topics pertinent to puberty, athletics, pregnancy, birth, postpartum recovery, menopause, surgery and so much more.I promise to share evidence based information through discussion with other health care experts in their field with the goal to showcase a holistic and empowering approach to taking care of the only body you will ever have. I hope you enjoy!

42. When postpartum running doesn’t go as planned
In this episode, I sit down with Celia Peters, runner and mom. Celia shares her struggles with postpartum recovery despite doing everything she could to prevent them. She brings a honest and refreshing perspective while inspiring others to become experts in their own body.
- Celia’s goal to be proactive and prevent postpartum issues
- What things she did to prepare during pregnancy and for birth
- Things that stand out with the early postpartum period
- “Comparison is the thief of joy”
- Harmful messages Celia had heard and how she has learned to change her mindset
- Where she is now
- Her message to other postpartum moms
Celia is a former elite middle distance runner who continues to love running for its ability to challenge herself, explore new cities, and wind down after a busy day working in tech sales.
Through Celia’s recent pregnancy and the birth of her daughter Oona, Celia has developed an interest in women’s health and challenging outdated norms around pelvic health. So far, Celia’s postpartum return to running has been different than she expected - and she’s learning to appreciate and be patient with each step ahead.
