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!

Trish graduated from the physiotherapy program at McMaster University in 2005. She began her career treating musculoskeletal injuries, and furthering her knowledge in orthopedic manual therapy. In 2011 she became a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Manipulative Physiotherapy.
Perinatal and pelvic health has always interested Trish, and after taking additional training in pelvic health and in Diane Lee's Integrated Systems Model, Trish was able to combine her orthopedic skills and pelvic health knowledge to develop her own personalized approach to perinatal and pelvic health.
