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!

108. How to know if you have prepared enough for birth and recovery with Fatima Al-Roubaiai
In this episode I discuss with a previous client of mine, Fatima Al-Roubaiai:
- How do you know how many appointments to make with health care practitioners before and after birth?
- The degree of advice and appointments can be overwhelming
- You are the expert on what works for you
- The pros and cons of social media
- Your support “team” may be different before and after birth
- How do know what YOU need
