It’s hard to believe, but this is our final episode of 2024! As we’re wrapping up the year, we wanted to share a kind of a ‘recap’ of what life has been like lately. In today’s conversation, we’re reflecting on 2024, and the hope we have for a fresh, new year ahead. Like many of you, we’ve also experienced the ups and downs the holiday season bring…

Today’s episode isn’t the *most* exciting topic to talk about (especially if it’s something you’ve experienced personally), but it’s a big one! Pelvic organ prolapse (commonly referred to as ‘prolapse’), is often misunderstood. Prolapse can feel like a ‘scary’ word..but it doesn’t have to be a scary reality for you! In today’s conversation, we’re t…

Today’s episode topic is one that’s cropped up quite a bit recently for both of us, so we knew we had to dive into it here! In today’s episode, we’re discussing why one pelvic floor visit isn’t enough, and the importance of consistent care. We’re sometimes asked if coming in for *one* visit and doing the follow-up care on your own will work, but th…

Today’s episode is covering a pretty hot topic - menopause! As women, we will ALL be experiencing menopause at some point in our lives, so it’s exciting to see it *finally* getting the attention it deserves.

For this episode, we wanted to take some time and share some reflections on our journey as pelvic floor physical therapists!

Before we get into today’s topic, we have to share something exciting... We just hit our ONE year anniversary with the podcast (yep, our podversary)!!

We’re so grateful for this space, an…

Our main focus for today’s episode is painful intercourse - specifically, the conditions known as vaginismus and dyspareunia. We treat both of these super often in our clinics, and we know it is very common for women to suffer in silence when they’re experiencing one (or both) of these. Fortunately, vaginismus and dyspareunia are very treatable, bu…

Today’s episode is covering a topic that is often overlooked, but definitely impacts you more than you think!

When you think of pelvic floor therapy, chances are you also think of stress urinary incontinence (aka urinary ‘leakage’). This is probably the most widely-known (and definitely most common) issue associated with pelvic floor therapy, and it’s something we are very familiar with as pelvic floor therapists! Unfortunately, there are quite a few myths…

Your feet can greatly affect your pelvic health an…

Today’s episode is a fun one, because we’re chatting all things periods and menstrual health! While this is a topic that we’re excited to bring more awareness to, we also know it can feel daunting, and honestly, something we put off talking about with our daughters for as long as possible. As a mom (Megan) whose daughter recently started her period…

When you’re returning to exercise after any kind of major life change (i.e. having a baby and in postpartum), and you’re experiencing some type of pelvic floor dysfunction, it can feel very defeating.

Something that we hear often from patients in our in-person practices is the topic surrounding the pelvic floor internal assessment. Usually, people don’t know what’s actually involved with this type of assessment, or, they may come in with preconceived notions of what it’s going to be like. We treat our patients very similarly in our hands-on prac…

We’re feeling a littttle (or more like a LOT) spicy about the topic we’re diving into today, which is..pelvic floor tightness! Women often feel so much pressure in the postpartum period - especially when it comes to ‘tightening’ up our pelvic floor, and getting it back to what it was like before pregnancy, giving birth, etc. There seems to be an id…
