Vaginally Speaking

Why 'Just Do Kegels' is Bad Advice for Your Pelvic Floor with Dr. Corrie

Episode 3

In this episode, Allison is joined by Dr. Corrie, pelvic floor therapist and co-owner of Genesis PT and Wellness, as they tackle some of the most common and frustrating pelvic floor myths that keep women confused and silent about their bodies. Together, they break down some of the biggest lies in pelvic health, including the overemphasis on Kegels and the outdated advice to push during bowel movements. They also discuss the emotional and trauma-related aspects of pelvic health that are often overlooked.

Tune in to hear:

  • Why Kegels aren't the solution to pelvic floor issues and why you should stop doing them.
  • The harmful myth of "just push it out" when it comes to urination and bowel movements.
  • The truth about postpartum pelvic floor health and how it differs from the "welcome to motherhood" mentality.
  • Real-life patient stories that highlight how trauma impacts pelvic health and why pelvic therapy can make all the difference.
    How emotional healing and trauma work hand-in-hand with pelvic health.
