Real Talk with Kid Docs

Episode 21. Hello. Meet your pelvic floor.


Listen Later

In this episode we are joined by Paige Dunmore, Physical Therapy Assistant with specialized training in pelvic floor health. She is a Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist (PCES) and knowledgeable mom of two!

Listen along as we talk about that unique area of our bodies called the PELVIC FLOOR. Everyone has one, but we don't talk about it nearly as much as we should. What does your pelvic floor do? How do you know if it is too loose (pelvic floor laxity) or too tight (pelvic floor tension)?

We discuss pelvic floor disorders related to pregnancy and childbirth.  Yes, BOTH vaginal and C-section deliveries impact your pelvic floor!  We also talk about common pregnancy issue called diastasis recti which (surprise!) also has to do with your pelvic floor!

Learn why the pelvic floor is a very important but seldom talked about area for your body, especially for those who are or have ever been pregnant but also for anyone with a pelvic floor. Yes, even males and kids need to know about their pelvic floor health!  Hint, you don't have to live with peeing a little bit when you sneeze! 

Stay tuned for a future episode when Paige joins us again to talk about what to do to improve your pelvic floor health!
