Pain with sex. Constipation. Incontinence. These are extremely common issues for women and yet aren't talked about enough! In today's Meet Your Body episode, we are learning all about the important topics around pelvic floor health and how you can feel empowered in this area of your health.

In this amazing interview with pelvic floor physical therapist Dr. Alicia Jeffrey-Thomas, we discuss general topics such as the importance of your pelvic floor and what to expect from pelvic floor physical therapy. We also shine light onto important topics such as pain, dilators, self assessment and how to poop for the best pelvic floor health. This is an extremely valuable, open and light hearted conversation for women of all ages!

Alicia has been a pelvic floor physical therapist since 2016 and treats people of all genders in the greater Boston area. She isn’t one to shy away from taboo topics. From bladder problems to bowel movements to sex, Alicia is always game to talk through the dirty details to help patients figure out what’s going on “down there.” She’s the creator behind @thepelvicdancefloor, a social media presence with over a million followers across Instagram and TikTok, where she uses humor to share evidence-based pelvic health info in a relatable way. Her first book, Power to the Pelvis, aims to further that mission and empower people to take charge of their pelvic floor health
