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!

In this episode, I sit down with Naturopath Dr. Susan Frame to discuss:
- What is moxibustion?
- How does it work?
- What does the research say?
- How it can be used as a tool to turn a breech baby
- How many sessions are required?
- What does this look like for clients?
- When should women be referred in their pregnancy?
Dr. Susan Frame is a naturopathic doctor in Kelowna BC with a special interest in women's health concerns - specifically in pre-conception, pregnancy and postpartum health, as well as hormonal concerns of any kind. She also loves working with kiddos of all ages.
She focuses on whole-body health, and aims to find and address the root cause of symptoms. She uses comprehensive lab testing and assessment techniques while blending traditional practices such as acupuncture and herbal medicine to allow the body to rebalance itself.
