Listen Later

In this week’s episode of Loving Wellness, I'm talking to Dr. Chris Pieton. Dr. Chris is the founder and owner of Pieton Physical Therapy. She is a licensed physical therapist who specializes in female pelvic floor, orthopedic and sport-specific conditions. Dr. Chris believes that everyone deserves individualized healthcare support that is as unique to them as they are themselves. She tailors her sessions to meet the goals of her patients, focusing on rehabilitation of specific injuries, cross-training to enhance athletic performance, and/or optimizing general health and wellness for all of life’s adventures.

In the episode, we cover: 

  • What is the pelvic floor & the 3 main functions of the pelvic floor
  • Why kegels are not always the best exercise for pelvic floor health
  • How to support pelvic health in all seasons of life
  • Symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction
  • Why your low back pain may be a pelvic floor issue
  • How to tell if your pelvic floor is too tight or too weak & easy tips for assessing pelvic health at home

  • What to expect when working with a pelvic floor PT
  • The 2 most importance exercises for assessing overall strength and pelvic health
