Pelvic Health and Fitness
Pelvic Health and Fitness is a podcast hosted by Rhonda Chamberlain, Orthopedic Physiotherapist, Pre/Postnatal Fitness Coach, and mom of two.
This podcast is for moms who want real, honest conversations about their body, their health, movement, and everything in between.
Rhonda shares practical tips, evidence-informed insights, and the kind of support she wishes more women had access to.
Whether you're navigating pregnancy, postpartum recovery, perimenopause, menopause, returning to exercise, or just trying to stay strong through the chaos of everyday life, this space is for you.
Topics include pelvic health, fitness, and the emotional ups and downs of motherhood (with zero focus on weight loss), and a strong focus on realistic, sustainable movement that fits into your real life. No all-or-nothing mindset, no gimmicks, no quick fixes, no BS, just small, consistent steps that support your long-term health.
I’m so glad you’re here!
