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!

103. Role modelling as parents: Active adults are more likely to have active kids with professor Ali McManus
In this episode I discuss with UBCO Professor, Ali McManus:
- How we as parents model healthy eating and physical activity to our children
- The guilt we may feel as parents when we prioritize our own physical activity and how we can rethink this
- Trends in different areas of the world when it comes to childhood obesity and parent level of activity
- The research Ali McManus and her team are conducting on sex and developmental-based differences in brain and cardiovascular health, and the impact of exercise, prolonged sitting and the environment.
Ali McManus is a Professor at UBCO. She trained as a physical education and biology teacher in the U.K., completed a Masters in Medical Sciences (specializing in pediatric cardiology) and a PhD in Pediatric Exercise Physiology. She joined the University of Hong Kong in 1994 and worked as a Professor of Pediatric Exercise Physiology for 19 years before joining UBCO in 2013. She runs the Pediatric Exercise Research Laboratory (PERL) at UBCO, where she and her team explore sex- and developmental-based differences in brain and cardiovascular health, and the impact of exercise, prolonged sitting and the environment.
