The Pelvis Project Podcast
Welcome to The Pelvis Project Podcast! Join hosts, Megan Bengtson and Roxi Roberts, two pelvic floor physical therapists who are passionate about spreading pelvic health awareness and starting conversations surrounding the truth behind genuine health and imperfect wellness. They’re on a mission to educate, guide, and encourage you, and they believe that joyfully navigating your journey IS possible, no matter the season of life you’re in.
Our health and well-being extends far beyond just the physical aspect. Getting to know and really understand ourselves on a deeper level is powerful, and in turn, this will overflow into every area of our lives. Megan and Roxi are excited to be starting this conversation, and can’t wait to have you join along for the ride. And of course - don’t forget to take a deep breath and relax your pelvic floor!
Make sure to subscribe and follow along - new episodes are released every other Wednesday!
