Have you ever been told to do kegels? It could have been "to keep things tight", in preparation of birth or as a response to bladder issues after birth. Either way, there is so much more to pelvic floor rehabilitation than just kegel exercises.

In this episode, Dr. Angela Turnow dives into three major myths of pelvic floor therapy - 1. You have to wait to recover before starting, 2. Bladder leaks are the only signs of a pelvic floor dysfunction, & 3. Just do your kegels.

Dr. Angela Turnow has her Doctorate in Physical Therapy, specializes in orthopedic & pelvic floor and started her company Active Motherhood to help mamas at any stage prepare & recover.

This is the episode I wish I would have heard while pregnant, or during maternity leave, or in the weeds of infancy - finally getting the hang of something just in time for a new development with baby. If you feel like you've lost yourself, your interests, or are bogged down by the loss of control or efficiency it takes to care for a baby, you are not alone. Even us as three physicians felt similarly. And guess what? There are little things and BIG things that you can do along the way to keep you grounded & sane. With the right support and resources in place, you can find the stride that you may see other moms hitting.
