Ep 107: Strong from the Inside Out- The Role of Pelvic Health in Athletics with Dr. Stephanie Morgan


Listen Later

Pelvic floor health is a game-changer for performance, yet many athletes overlook it. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Stephanie Morgan, a pelvic floor physical therapist and elite runner, to break down the myths, fears, and barriers around pelvic floor PT. We discuss what to expect in a session, why it's essential for athletes of all ages and genders, and how a strong pelvic floor can impact performance. Whether you’re a runner, lifter, or weekend warrior, this conversation will change the way you think about core strength and recovery.

In this episode we talk about:

  • What is pelvic floor physical therapy: and who may need to see a therapist
  • Common myths around the pelvic floor: it's more than just Kegels!
  • How your pelvic floor can impact performance: tightness and weaknesses both can happen.
  • The importance of having a coach: especially one with specific expertise in physiology and biomechanics.
