In this episode, I sit down with fellow pelvic health physiotherapist Tamarah Nerreter, to discuss:

• How often should we poop
• Signs of constipation
• Why do we get constipated
• What does long term constipation mean for our body
• Physiotherapy approaches to treating constipation 
• What can we be doing to start our kids with good bowel habits

Tamarah Nerreter, a physiotherapist since 2007 has a multitude of certifications in the areas of women’s health, perinatal care, diastasis, pediatric incontinence, prolapse, pelvic pain and the list goes on. She believes in a holistic, whole body approach, empowering the individual through education, treatment and exercise. She practices at her own clinic, Bodynamics Physiotherapy in Vancouver/Delta BC Canada.
