Do you know what your Pelvic Floor is? Bet that is not part of your normal workout routine, but the pelvic floor is a muscle group that we really should not be ignoring. Poor Pelvic floor control can lead to a multitude of health issues - incontinence, pain, burning. Join us this week as we discuss the how and why of the pelvic floor, and what we can do to prevent dysfunction.

Cathy Watson is a pelvic floor physiotherapist living and working in Vernon, BC and is the owner/operator of Cathy Watson Physiotherapy. She treats men and women with bladder/bowel incontinence, prolapse, pelvic pain and diastasis with the help of real time ultrasound, external biofeedback and exercise integration!

Cathy was certified for many years as a group fitness teacher and personal trainer. She then transitioned into and became certified as a Pilates teacher through Stott Pilates. The desire to blend the strong principles from Pilates into her physiotherapy treatment became the foundation of her business. This sparked the interest into knowing more about pelvic health and so the integration of pelvic floor into exercise is now the focus of Cathy’s business.

In addition to running her own business, Cathy is constantly taking continuing education courses as well as developing her own online pelvic floor courses to teach others.
When Cathy isn’t working, she enjoys cycling, reading and spending time on the boat with her hubby and their tripawd.

It’s always easier to just say nothing, right? Just let the awkward situation pass and move on. But what if this keeps happening, with many people and many different situations? Perhaps we have not presented the proper expectations to those around us in regards to how we wish to be treated. While it may be uncomfortable at first if only allow ourselves to say what needs to be said we may be pleasantly surprised as to the outcome.

Dr. Sarah Reck is a physician, a mother of 4, and a fitness junkie!! She is an Anesthesiologist in Milwaukee, WI where she works full time practicing as an anesthesiologist. She is also a mother of 4 beautiful boys, ages 2, 4, 7, 9. Juggling work and motherhood is no small feat (especially with her crazy hours), and one of the ways that she makes sure she is able to take care of everyone else is by taking care of herself. She does this by practicing self-care in the form of exercise.

Fitness has taken on different meanings in different phases of her life and currently she feels like she has come full circle. She was a runner at the onset, but her fitness routine has taken on different forms as the demands of motherhood have taken over. For years, the best time for her to exercise was early in the morning or during kids naps and due to this she started doing more at-home workouts. As her kids are now getting older, she was training for the New York City Marathon in Nov, 2020 which sadly was canceled.

Last, but not least, her professional expertise in Anesthesiologist and personal interests in helping mothers live their best lives have recently merged as she created a course to educate women about pain control options during labor and delivery with an in-depth look at epidural anesthesia and anesthesia for C-Sections. Throughout her 14 year career in medicine, she has placed thousands of epidurals and has been dumbfounded how little GOOD education and information is available about this topic. She has become increasingly frustrated with the fact that women are very educated about the labor and delivery process, but have little education about epidurals. Thus, she set out to create a course filling this void.
The course has now been released and is available for purchase at https://www.sarahreckmd.com/new-page-73

Our emotions and feelings are there for a reason. They help us identify situations as good or bad so that we can act accordingly. However, when our body thinks that we are not acting appropriately, it can ramp up the intensity to the point that we begin having physical reactions to our feelings. In this episode, we will go over some things we can do in order to have a better grasp of our emotions, including what it means to be C.A.L.M.

It’s normal to feel down when we think we can’t do something. The self-pity meter can reach it’s peak sometime over the simplest things. Now imagine if you will that someone told you that you can’t coach a sport because you lack the appropriate number of limbs. In this episode, we will talk to a truly inspiring individual and how his battle with multiple ailments has only made him stronger and more determined to make the world of sports, and the world overall, a better place.

To say that we are living in an unprecedented time would be the understatement of 2020. Well, maybe a close second to “it’s just the flu”. This pandemic has shined a light on the worlds medical professionals and has brought to the forefront some previously unmentioned specialists. This week we talk with a raspatory therapist and how their fight against COVID has helped dramatically. The responsibilities that these professionals have to those who have been impacted the most by COVID cannot go overlooked. And if you are fortunate enough to meet one of these people, or unfortunate in some COVID cases, please do not call them nurses.

We all know that hormones affect our bodies, right? But what affects our hormones? In this episode, we dive into how a simple thing all of us do, multiple times a day for most, affects our hormones significantly.
