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!
The Pelvic Floor Project
1. How well do you know your pelvic floor?
When asked what they know about their pelvic floor, most clients would say “umm I don’t know… kegels?”
I wanted to kick off this podcast the same way I start with most of my clients. I put a call out in my instagram community for 2 women who had never seen a pelvic health physical therapist and who felt clueless about their pelvic floor.
Join them in this episode to see how much you can gain from some simple verbal instructions.
