Episode 60 - Pooping, Pelvic Floor, and Back Pain?

Form, Function and Flow Lab with Dr. Kate

In this week’s episode of Form, Function, and Flow Lab, I talked about pooping, pelvic floor, and back pain. Here, I discussed how your bowel movement can be connected to how your low back feels, your SI joint feels, and how your pelvic floor is functioning.

These are the things I feel like we don’t talk often about. Women’s health talks a lot about urinary incontinence but not so much about the fecal involvement.

In this episode we discuss:

[00:36] Introduction to the topic

[1:24] Pelvic floor dysfunction and issues with stool

[5:17] Why a good, healthy stool pattern is going to affect you

[8:56] Half Happy Baby yoga pose – a great little check-in with yourself

[11:14] Accessing the back half of the pelvic floor

[16:24] Conclusion

If you have any questions, you can drop it in the comment section or you can send me a message through Facebook or Instagram. I’d be happy to do another podcast about your questions. Also, if you want me to talk about something specific, let me know!

You can also check my TikTok account as I use the platform to educate viewers about movement, chiropractic education, yoga, pregnancy, and more!

Thank you for listening and see you next week!
