Understanding Pelvic Floor Health: Dr. Sarah Reardon, a board-certified pelvic floor physical therapist and author of "FLOORED: A Woman's Guide to Pelvic Floor Health at Every Age and Stage," delves into pelvic floor disorders, highlighting their prevalence, symptoms, and the importance of proper diagnosis and treatment. Dr. Reardon explains the anatomy and function of the pelvic floor, common misconceptions about Kegels, and the impact of life events such as childbirth and menopause. She also touches on the relevance of pelvic floor health for men, particularly in relation to prostatitis and other urinary issues. Practical advice on addressing these issues, including biofeedback, exercises, and lifestyle modifications, is provided. The episode emphasizes the need for greater awareness and proactive measures to prevent and treat pelvic floor dysfunction.

Pelvic floor physical therapy (PFPT) is a crucial yet often overlooked component of gut health that can dramatically improve quality of life for people suffering from bowel issues, bladder problems, or pelvic pain. Dr. Alicia Jeffrey-Thomas joins us to demystify and normalize this specialized therapy and explain how proper pelvic floor function impacts everything from constipation to sexual health.• Understand that daily bowel movements don't necessarily mean you're not constipated• What happens during a PFPT session and how therapists create a safe + comfortable environment• The importance of proper pooping position• Why breathing techniques and sounds (like mooing!) can help relax your pelvic floor during bowel movements• Demystifying tools like pelvic wands and dilators for at-home maintenance • How dyssynergic defecation affects approximately 50% of people with constipation and how pelvic floor PT can help• Why all women can benefit from pelvic floor PT after childbirth (and even during pregnancy)•  Men face pelvic health issues too, like post-prostate surgery incontinence • The downside of "peeing just in case" and how it trains your bladder to signal fullness prematurelyIf you've experienced pelvic floor issues, don't accept them as normal - seek help from a pelvic floor physical therapist who can address these problems and improve your overall quality of life.References and Resources:Rao SS, Patcharatrakul T.

Hey Friend!   Do you struggle with TMJ or jaw pain? Maybe tension headaches or migraines from grinding your teeth? Or have you been told you grind at night and need to wear a mouth guard? If you have any of these TMJ dysfunction symptoms or any pelvic floor dysfunction symptoms like overactive bladder, pelvic pain, pain with intercourse, urinary urgency and more, then you will want to pay attention to this week's episode! I have mentioned many times throughout this show that the whole body is connected and I have even mentioned the connection between the TMJ and pelvic floor. However, this is a connection that is way more intimate and common than people may think.   So inside this episode I am diving much deeper into how the pelvic floor and TMJ or jaw joint are connected and how they influence each other. From understanding, anatomy, tension, posture and even tongue posture, we can start to connect and heal our body as a whole.  This is a connection I dive into inside RESTORE so check out the details for that below if you are interested!   RESTORE is my first 12 wk online signature program hosted inside my new platform that will be an APP soon Pelvic Floor, Core & More!

This option is great for those that can't afford a one-on-one session for $200-$240, those that don't have access to a pelvic floor PT in person or those that want to have a structured organized program with support as they are phasing out of acute therapy treatments and working more independently.

Today's we're delving into a topic that's surprisingly common yet often overlooked – diastasis, or abdominal separation. Now, I know what you might be thinking – "Isn't that just a post-pregnancy thing?" Yes, it often is, but it's not exclusively and it isnt always something that just sorts itself out. It's estimated that between 50% and two thirds of all postpartum women experience some degree of abdominal separation. But here's the thing; it's not just about the aesthetics. It's about the deeper impact on your core health and overall well-being.Abdominal separation isn't just about the size of the gap. It's about the coordinated activation (or lack of) of the deeper layers of muscle and fascia that make up your core. When these aren't working together, it can lead to issues beyond just the appearance of your belly. We're talking about core stability, pain management, and overall body function.And here's the twist – the pain from abdominal separation often shows up in other areas like the lower back, hips, or even the neck. It's a ripple effect that can cause discomfort and frustration. But the good news is, there's so much we can do to restore and support the healing process. I want to invite you to join me on a transformative journey. Whether you're a new mum, a not so new mum, or just someone looking to prioritise your core and pelvic floor health, I've got you covered.I'm thrilled to report that my signature  "6 weeks - Transform Your Core" program is returning in September. This 6 week, online programme is designed specifically to restore your abdominal separation and get you strong and confident in your core and pelvic floor. Join the waitlist and receive your VIP earlybird offer: www.FitFannyAdams.com/Earlybird And, if you're looking for more personal support, I'm also available for one-on-one remote sessions. So, if you're ready to feel stronger, more confident, and empowered in your own body, let's connect. Don't hesitate to drop me a message, ask questions, and get involved.You're not alone in this journey. So, let's take the shame and confusion out of pelvic pain and embrace the power of our bodies. Thank you for tuning in, and take care.

Many people with interstitial cystitis think they have a bladder problem and place a lot of the blame on the food they eat, but today Nicole Cozean debunks these common myths. As a pelvic floor therapist with almost 20 years of experience in the field, she takes an orthopedic approach to treating the pelvic floor. The most effective treatment for pelvic floor dysfunction is physical therapy, which has been proven time and time again. We also dive into the misconception that the IC diet is the way to recovery, when in reality most people with interstitial cystitis aren't diet sensitive or only have a few diet triggers. Nicole shares how you can reach recovery and how to create a healthy environment along your journey.  Links:  Connect with Nicole Cozean Instagram: @nicolecozeandpt Pelvic Sanity Instagram: @pelvicsanity  Podcast for Patients: Finding Pelvic Sanity Facebook Group: Finding Pelvic Sanity Work with me: Take my FREE QUIZ to learn what's holding you back from relief from IC!

Continuing our conversation with warrior, Michelle Milheiras. Michelle began experiencing vulva pain after a tailbone injury at only eight years old. Heavy periods, chronic UTI symptoms and yeast infections followed. Doctors dismissed and misdiagnosed her for over a decade, common for pelvic issues. Her pain and symptoms became so severe she had to leave her job. She was at last diagnosed accurately with Pelvic Floor Dysfunction, Endometriosis, Interstitial Cystitis, Lupus, Anxiety and Depression. Michelle now wishes to educate, uplift, and destigmatize these conditions by creating The Happy Pelvis website. Listen as in Part Two Michelle discusses interesting Endometriosis facts, her trauma from experiencing pelvic pain at a young age, and her tips for going to the doctor.

On this week's episode, Callie talks to pelvic floor therapist Dr. Zarina Vitebsky. Zarina shares her knowledge and expertise on everything from TMJ, to what to expect when you see a pelvic floor therapist, to how you can handle the changes that come from menopause.  Zarina's educational background and studies have helped her develop pelvic floor therapy practices that get to the root of the issues by evaluating the entire body, instead of just one area. She has successfully helped patients find long-term relief by doing comprehensive evaluations that consider a wide range of factors to understand where the problem is actually originating from. Because as she shares on this episode, most of the time the one area causing pain is not the real cause.  Watch this episode on Youtube Connect with Dr. Zarina Vitebsky Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pelvichealthnj/  Blog: https://www.pelvichealthnj.com/pelvic-floor-blog/main  Work with me: Take my FREE QUIZ to learn what's holding you back from relief from IC!
