Moms In Motion
Welcome to the Moms In Motion podcast! Your hosts are Krista Williams (pregnancy & postpartum athleticism coach) and Jenn Perna (pelvic floor physical therapist). We are running our businesses, running our households, and trying not to run ourselves into the ground while juggling it all. We are here to support you through all stages of motherhood with honest, relatable, and sometimes unfiltered conversations.
Tune into this show weekly so we can help you build your village, reconnect with your mom bod, and possibly even navigate business ownership and motherhood, better.
We are located in the suburbs of Philadelphia, and refer to each other constantly to best support moms in the area. We believe the relationship between a personal trainer specializing in working with moms, and pelvic floor PT is an absolute must for moms to thrive in motherhood. Please remember that this show is not meant to treat or diagnose any medical condition, so don't ever hesitate to contact your own provider team with any concerns.
Thanks for joining us, and please reach out with feedback or questions!

#19: Why a Pelvic Floor Specialist is a MUST for your Physical Therapy and Fitness Needs
Moms - if you've ever seen an orthopedic PT or personal trainer that doesn't specialize in pregnancy, postpartum and pelvic floor needs and you didn't get everything you need out of it... listen up! More visits, more copays, or heavier weights isn't the answer - a provider who specializes on your exact needs as a mom, is!
When moms complain about back pain, hip pain, rib pain, etc they often see an orthopedic PT. When moms are struggling with getting their strength or endurance back, or trying to 'lost the baby weight' they often run to Orange Theory, hop on the Peloton, or hire the first personal trainer available at the gym.
The best physical therapist for moms, even moms with issues that they assume are completely unrelated, is a Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist. The best personal trainer for pregnant and postpartum women, even if they are years postpartum, and even if they are currently not experiencing issues, is one who is specializes in pelvic floor function.
In today's episode you will learn all about how extensive the list is of everything PFPTs treat, and why the fitness industry is the wild west when it comes to adequately supporting moms. If you are feeling our passion for this topic, please be sure to leave a rating AND a review - we appreciate it so much!
