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!

Brittany is an Orthopaedic and Pelvic Health Physiotherapist who has now been practicing for 11 years. She currently lives in Halifax, NS and works at Young Kempt Physiotherapy. Although her caseload remains very diverse, a growing percentage is dedicated to Pelvic Health. As a mother of 2 beautiful babies who came into the world by c-section, She has developed a special passion for helping women navigate the journey of pregnancy, postpartum, and helping them return to their desired physical activities. She has a unique area of interest in helping those involved in functional fitness and barbell sports through her own experience in those sports!
Brittany has the wonderful opportunity to blend the worlds of orthopedics and pelvic health by working with clients through our satellite clinic at Ironstone Strength and Conditioning.
Outside of the clinic, she loves to spend time with her husband and two children. She is always up for an outdoor adventure. Also, I keep active by training and competing in CrossFit and Weightlifting, while currently preparing for Provincials in Weightlifting!
