In this powerful episode of the Aligned & Elevated Podcast, Dr. Allison Feldt, founder of Body Motion Physical Therapy and AF Wellness Coaching, sits down with Bella Perez—Body Motion’s first-ever rehab technician and a current Division I rower at UCLA—to unpack the raw, under-discussed reality of endometriosis and women’s health in sports.
🎙️ What You’ll Hear:
  • Bella’s emotional and inspiring journey with undiagnosed endometriosis starting at age 11
  • The pain, misdiagnoses, and dismissals she endured while trying to remain an elite athlete
  • How pelvic floor physical therapy became the turning point—and led her to surgery and ultimately healing
  • Expert insights from Dr. Allison on how physical therapy, regenerative tools like shockwave and EMTT, and holistic pelvic health approaches can drastically improve symptoms—even prevent surgery
  • A deep dive into the healthcare system’s gaps in treating women’s chronic pelvic pain
  • Bella’s advice for finding the right surgeon and advocating for yourself as a patient

✨ Whether you’re an athlete, someone battling endo symptoms, or a health professional, this conversation is full of wisdom, hope, and empowerment.
