Do you pee when you sneeze?  Experience back pain, frequent UTIs, or have to get up in the middle of the night to pee?  Think you have a small bladder? Whether you experience one or all of these, they are all related to your pelvic floor health.   Some research shows that every year after the age of 35, women lose 2% of their pelvic floor muscle strength with aging and hormones.  If at 35, we're leaking, what will it be like at 65?   If you have had babies, rebuilding your pelvic floor health is so important. My special guest is Christina Walsh, a published researcher, a Physical Therapist, and the cofounder of Tighten Your Tinkler, is sharing how to rebuild our pelvic floor health.  Enjoy this episode, Mama, and share it with a friend.    

I have a guest wisdom holder who is bringing a unique view of the pelvic floor and how the practice of grounding can be a powerful tool for pelvic floor function. My guest here is Jenn Lormand of the duo that is Tighten Your Tinkler, two women who are authors, researchers, and moms on a mission to help people live with functional pelvic floor health whether that's after having children or any other reason a person is living with an under-functioning pelvic floor. This conversation, as you will hear me say a few times in the recording, really sparked some interesting connections for me about the pelvic floor and the earth and our feet as she brings together the pelvis and grounding. And as I'm recording this intro, I'm realizing even more how timely this was as Jenn and I actually recorded this back in September, and a busy schedule has sadly, but necessarily put the podcast on hold for a time. Part of what has kept me busy is a month long course I've been doing that is all about assessing and activating the chain of our body that connects the foot to the pelvic floor and core with Dr. Courtney Conley of Gait Happens and Lauren Ohayen of Restore Your Core. So as I listened back to this recording with Jenn in getting it ready to publish I heard even more great wisdom in what she shares here.

This wouldn't be a podcast about postpartum healing and recovery if we weren't including conversations about pelvic physical health. We'll continue advocating that EVERY WOMAN who gives birth needs pelvic PT! Today's episode will share exactly WHY that is, and more importantly, how anyone can access it through the revolutionary Tighten Your Tinkler online program. (See below for links!). In this episode, we're sharing: How to know that you can benefit from physical therapy and why you need to see a therapist that specializes in postpartum pelvic PT. Why the guidance typically given by conventional medicine practitioners to do 100 kegels a day is NOT what women need to regain their pelvic health. The connection between pelvic health and emotional well-being and why every mother should make her pelvic health a priority, regardless of whether or not she's had a "traumatic" birth experience. Christina Walsh is a Physical Therapist & New Orleans mama of 2. Known together as the “Tinkler Ladies”, Christina and her business partner Jenn Lormand have a combined 36 years of experience supporting women through pelvic floor problems, prolapse, diastasis recti, and more. The Journal of Women's Health Physical Therapy featured their holistic protocol that helps women mitigate symptoms (think no more pee leaks, back pain, or painful sex) WITHOUT kegels or internal vaginal devices.

My guest today is Jenn Lormand, a Orleans mama of three boys living and thriving with Stage 2 prolapse, an Exercise Physiologist and an author. Known together as the “Tinkler ladies”, Jenn and her business partner, Christina Walsh, have a combined 36 years of experience supporting women through prolapse, diastasis recti, and more. The Journal of Women's Health Physical Therapy featured their holistic protocol that helps women relieve pelvic floor issues (think no more pee leaks, back pain, or painful sex) WITHOUT kegels or internal vaginal devices. Today, Jenn is on a mission to show more mamas what's possible for their health while honoring their dignity, time, and season of life.In addition to sharing her personal experience with birth injury and breastfeeding, Jenn drops some super valuable knowledge bombs on Breastfeeding Ergonomics.She shares the number one positioning mistake Jenn sees nursing moms make that causes more pee leaks, urgency, and other pelvic floor problems.She discusses how lack of shoulder stability from improper technique can lead to the dreaded “neck hump” and/or rotator cuff injuries.She shares three easy-to-implement techniques moms can start using today to correct their feeding posture (plus how moms should hold their phone to prevent a rounding of their back).Jenn did not come to the podcast empty-handed, in fact, she has SO MUCH for you, dear listener.Use Coupon code SPILLTHEMILK for $50 off your purchase of either Healing from Home or their Signature Program, learn more at their website..

Sometimes after baby your “O” can stand for ouch! Yes, today we're talking about sex after baby. For many pelvic floor dysfunction turns what was once a pleasurable part of life into something painful. This pain doesn't have to be permanent though and with the help of a PT you can have a better quality of life.  On today's episode of Yoga| Birth | Babies I speak with Christina Walsh a physical therapist specializing in integrative manual therapy and co-creator of Tighten Your Tinkler to take a very deep dive (pun intended) into the pelvic floor. If you've been listening to the podcast you might be surprised that we're talking about “tightening” the tinkler because you've likely heard me rant against over tightening. However, Christina beautifully talks about the balance needed for a strong pelvic floor and what she means when she says “tighten.” Christina and I talk about what new parents should expect when it comes to sex after baby, solutions for painful sex, kegels (how they might contribute to pelvic floor dysfunction) and a variety of ways to address dysfunction. I think you're going to get so much out of this conversation.

Tighten Your Tinkler meets Kids Who Explore, because we all want to support postpartum women, so they can get back to doing all the things they love to do outside.     Christina Walsh is a physical therapist and co-founder of Tighten Your Tinkler. She's a New Orleans mama of two who lived with pelvic floor issues herself. She supports postpartum women holistically through prolapse, diastasis recti, and more. The program helps women solve pelvic floor issues without kegels or internal vaginal devices.     Tighten Your Tinkler:  Functional training from a need they experienced themselves  You can do it at home with your children!  Helps with incontinence, sleeping through the night without needing to pee, and painful sex    When You Resume Activity Postpartum:  Make sure you're cleared by your providers  If you're having extra drainage, your body is asking you to slow down  Pelvic floor pressure or heaviness, back pain, or leakage – tune back into your body, slow down, and work your way back into it more gently     Why Kegels Aren't Always the Answer:  You're only getting stronger in ONE position  Can cause over tightening  You don't need the pelvic floor to be a conscious muscle      Uneven terrain adds extra weight. When you ask more from your body, be gentle. You don't have to live with discomfort, AND also, go slow!    So much of pelvic floor function is linked to the nervous system. Fight or Flight response links to bladder – so, take yourself out of that stressed state.     Immediately Postpartum:  Listen to body  Visit a Webster-certified chiro (adjust pubic joint)  Avoid high impact activity while breastfeeding   90/90 decompression technique!! Check link below   Don't push pee out   Use Squatty Potty   Get enough fibre and stay hydrated  Go easy on your body!  Build strength     It's never too late. Menopause can cause a shift of hormones as well, but they've seen success after people living with incontinence for over 28 years.     Links:  Decompression Position (to relax back, hips, and pelvic floor):  https://www.tightenyourtinkler.com/backandhiprelief  5-minute Root Cause Quiz: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/6C9SJ36    Book Suggestion:  Hunt Gather Parent by Michaeleen Doucleff  https://kidswhoexplore.com/podcasts/ep-42-why-to-avoid-kid-centered-activities-with-michaeleen-doucleff/    Follow Tighten Your Tinkler:  Website: www.tightenyourtinkler.com  IG: @tighten.your.tinkler  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@tightenyourtinkler        Discount Code LAUREN gets you $50 off  https://www.tightenyourtinkler.com    Check out KWE's #patch4apurpose to support 1, or all 8, charities: https://kidswhoexplore.com/product/original-explorer-patch4apurpose/  Today's Host: @adriannaadventures & @laurenrodycheberle from @kidswhoexplore Production: @kpmediaproductions.

I hope you have one of those friends who you can have uncomfortable conversations with. The ones who will tell you about squatty potties, constipation and when you tell them you change your mascara when your eyelashes feel like they want to be pulled out that they say, “that's not normal.” I have a few friends with that kind of candor, and I'm thinking about one in particular (and by the way, yes that mascara guidance is straight from our conversations).If you don't, I have good news for you. My guests today, Jenn Lormand and Christina Walsh, otherwise known as the Tighten Your Tinkler girls are here to help us understand our nether regions once again. Jenn and Christina are the friends you want when you're trying to figure out if peeing while sneezing or coughing is normal (PS no, it's common but not normal) or how to pull an all-nighter.

Get ready for the most laughs you have ever encountered in a conversation about pelvic floor health.And if you think you just need to do kegels to strengthen your pelvic floor, you definitely need to keep listening. Also - did you know your back and hip pain may be due to your pelvic floor?Many women experience tightness and discomfort in their back, groin, and hips after childbirth. Seeking help, they turn to their doctor - only to be told it is a mild case of some orthopedic issue or that their x-rays look good. But then, the pain continues to worsen, forcing women to continue to modify their habits to accommodate the pain.  Their pelvic floor and core continue to get weaker, and pain prevents these women from exercising, enjoying intimacy, and living their fullest life. And, even though you may be in your 40s, 50s or beyond, you may still be experiencing the side effects from this.Jenn Lormand and Christina Walsh join the show today to get real about pelvic floor health, and nothing is off limits in this conversation!  Jenn Lormand is an Exercise Physiologist, Author, and mom of three living and thriving with Stage 2 prolapse. Christina Walsh is a Physical Therapist specializing in Integrative Manual Therapy and mom of two living with a rectocele. They have a combined 36 years of professional experience and have helped thousands of women stop peeing their pants, ditch back pain, & have better sex.  They are published medical researchers in the Journal of Women's Health Physical Therapy, where they proved that women can heal without kegels or inserting anything into their “nether-regions.” We discuss:What a “tinkler” is (you can probably guess)What is entailed with manual therapy (spoiler alert it's all external!)Why your back and hip pain may be related to your pelvic floor healthHow do you know if you're suffering from overtraining, core dysfunction, or other issues.Why the discomfort and issues may still be with you even if your “baby” is in their teensIssues you may need to pay attention to that are indicators of a weak center of gravityWhy kegels are an outdated way of strengthening our pelvic floorThe added benefits of strengthening your pelvic floor health: intimacy and not waking up in the middle night to peeEnroll in the signature Tighten Your Tinkler ProgramConnect with Jenn and Christina:www.tightenyourtinkler.comInstagram: @tighten.your.tinklerFacebook: Tighten Your TinklerConnect with Amy: GracedHealth.comJoin the Graced Health community on Facebook!
