Listen Later

In this latest episode, we sit down with Jess Jenkins, a mother, Pelvic Health Physiotherapist, and founder of the online pre and postnatal Pilates app, MOVE with The Mama Physio.


Jess shares her expertise on pelvic floor health, a critical but often overlooked aspect of postpartum recovery, and provides guidance for those looking to stay active while managing pelvic floor issues.


We discuss:

  • What are some of the most common pelvic floor issues?
  • What types of exercises are safe to start with postpartum if someone has pelvic floor issues?
  • How can you tell if an exercise is too strenuous for your pelvic floor?
  • Are there specific movements or activities that should be avoided to prevent worsening a pelvic floor issue?
  • How can you gradually reintroduce higher-intensity workouts while protecting the pelvic floor?
