After birth, so many of us walk out of the hospital changed…and somehow expected to figure it out alone. The pain, the leaking, the heaviness, the quiet fear of “is this my new normal?”—and the part that hits hardest: the silence.
Postpartum pelvic floor therapy can be the difference between guessing and having a real roadmap. In this Rooted Exchange episode, Dr. Jessica Hund (The Floor PDX) breaks down why the “six-week clearance” often doesn’t match real recovery—and how Pelvic Floor Therapy can help you reconnect to your body.
In this episode you’ll learn:
--What the pelvic floor is (and what pelvic floor PT actually looks like).
--The most common symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction (leaking, urgency, heaviness, pain, constipation).
--Why “common does not mean normal” — and when it’s time to get support.
--The ACL analogy that changes how you think about postpartum recovery timelines.
--How to vet a provider: trauma-informed care, standing assessment, privacy, and quality markers.
If you’ve been living with symptoms quietly—please hear this: common does not mean normal, and healing doesn’t expire.
What would it change for you to have a “roadmap” postpartum?
