19. Do You Need Pelvic Floor Therapy? Probably. A Deep Dive with Dr. Alyssa Hariprashad

Danilae Smith Episode 19

When was the last time you checked your pelvic floor's health? Do you even know what your pelvic floor muscles are? I didn't until I sat down with Dr. Alyssa Hariprashad, a certified pelvic floor physical therapist and founder of Blossom Pelvic Health to talk all about supporting those pelvic muscles. And man, do we get into it: 
Is it true that "tighter is better" in the bedroom? Are kegels really the start and end of pelvic health? Is it only women that can benefit from pelvic floor therapy? You'll walk away with all of your questions answered — and answers to questions you didn't even realize you had.

In this episode, we're chatting about: 

  • What is pelvic floor therapy? 
  • Who is pelvic floor therapy for? 
  • How can pelvic floor health improve your sex life? 
  • Pelvic floor support and surgery prep and recovery.
  • Common misconceptions about the pelvic floor 
  • Dr. Alyssa Hariprashad's suggestions for personal pelvic floor intervention
