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!

34. How much do I need to engage my core? with Antony Lo
In this episode, I sit down with physiotherapist, Antony Lo to discuss:
- Common myths about the core:
- “ I have a weak core”
- “You need to actively engage your core all the time”
- “Suck in your tummy”
- “Maintain a neutral spine”
- “Doming/coning = danger”
- “Your TA isn’t firing”
- “You need to master exercises on your back before progressing”
- How we as health care and fitness professionals should continue to question our knowledge base and adapt the messaging we are providing our clients to stay current
- Difference between what we think we know and what is true
Antony Lo is a physiotherapist from Australia and runs The Physio Detective service and My PT Education. He earned his degree from the University of Sydney and has been in practice since 1997 (old enough to see old things come back as new things!). He completed his post- graduate Master in Manual Therapy (Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy) from the University of Western Australia and commenced his Specialisation training in Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy. He has been involved in ante-natal and post-natal education and management for his whole career.
