Podcasts about pelvic floor health

Many women are not aware that the pelvic floor plays a key role in stabilization, posture, and overall bone health, whether you lift weights, practice balance exercises, or simply want to move confidently. In this episode, I'm joined by Isa Herrera, a licensed physical therapist and pelvic floor expert, to discuss why your pelvic floor is essential for strong bones. We explore common mistakes women make, such as ignoring the connection between the core, fascia, and the pelvic floor. Isa walks us through exercises like the transverse hold, baby Kegels, and reverse Kegels, demonstrating how to safely strengthen the pelvic floor and integrate it into your strength training program. By combining proper pelvic floor activation with targeted strength and stabilization exercises, you can reduce incontinence, improve posture, prevent injury, and enhance bone health. This conversation provides simple strategies you can start using today to strengthen your pelvic floor and support your bones for the long term.   "When women take ownership of their pelvic and bone health, their whole lives change. And all of a sudden, they're happier, they're more confident, and they're doing the things they love." ~ Isa Herrera, MSPT, CSCS   In this episode: - [03:17] - Why the pelvic floor is critical for bone health - [05:08] - Exercises to avoid: traditional crunches, heavy lifting, ballistic moves - [08:16] - Testing and correcting diastasis recti - [11:36] - The transverse hold: foundation exercise for the pelvic floor - [15:05] - Common pelvic floor issues and their impact on exercise and bones - [21:41] - Kegel exercises: technique and visualization - [26:49] - Full-body Kegel and pelvic brace: combining breath, fascia, and core - [33:31] - Adjusting exercises for symptoms: leaking, prolapse, pain   Resources - On-demand pelvic floor masterclass - https://www.lk10ppt.com/2T4B5B1/2PKWQ8/?uid=304 - Vaginal Dryness eBook - https://www.lk10ppt.com/2T4B5B1/2PKWQ8/?uid=305  - Margie's More Natural Approaches to Exercise and Bone Health Summit (free to watch for 8 days) - https://www.happyboneshappylife.com/osteoporosis-bone-health-summit.  - Get quality supplements at Margie's Fullscript dispensary - https://tinyurl.com/supplementsforless   More about Margie - Website - https://margiebissinger.com/  - Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/p/Margie-Bissinger-MS-PT-CHC-100063542905332/  - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/margiebissinger/?hl=en    DISCLAIMER – The information presented on this podcast should not be construed as medical advice.

Did you know that pelvic floor dysfunction can show up as hip pain, back pain, anxiety, constipation, painful intercourse, bladder issues, restricted movement and even breathing dysfunction? In this episode, we're diving into one of the most overlooked aspects of women's health: the pelvic floor. Many women assume pelvic floor issues only affect those who have had children, but the reality is that pelvic floor dysfunction can impact women at every stage of life. From birth injuries and surgery to chronic stress, hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause, prolonged sitting and even the way we breathe, there are countless factors that can influence pelvic floor health. Drawing on insights from the London Pilates Conference and leading pelvic health education, I explore why the pelvic floor is so much more than a group of muscles responsible for bladder control. You'll learn how the pelvic floor works as part of a whole-body system, influencing movement, posture, breathing, core function and overall wellbeing. If this episode resonates with you, please share it with the women in your life. It could be the information they never knew they needed.   Timestamps: (0:00) Understanding the Pelvic Floor (0:39) Who This Affects & Common Symptoms (2:27 ) About This Episode (3:30) Rethinking Pelvic Floor Health (5:08) Pelvic Floor Trauma and Its Causes (7:55) Hormonal Changes & Connective Tissue (9:36) Pelvic Floor Anatomy & Function (11:10) Signs of Dysfunction (13:01) Breath and Its Impact on Pelvic Floor Health (15:36) The Hypertonic (Tight) Pelvic Floor (17:15) How Dysfunction Shows Up in Movement (19:27) Recognizing Pelvic Floor Dysfunction (21:19) Practical Steps You Can Take Today (23:53) What to Avoid (25:33) Pilates as a Solution for Pelvic Floor Issues (28:56) Long-Term Changes & Personal Story (31:48) Resources & Closing   Work with me: If you'd like support with your movement, breathwork, Pilates or pelvic floor-friendly exercise, you can book a consultation with me here: https://calendly.com/kate-health/45min

What if the biggest barrier to better sex isn’t your body, your partner, or your libido, but the shame and silence surrounding it? In this episode, Dr Mariam sits down with Australia’s go-to sexologist, Chantelle Otten, for a candid, practical and deeply reassuring conversation about sex, intimacy and why so many of us are still too embarrassed to talk about what’s happening in the bedroom. From mismatched libidos and postpartum desire dips to painful sex, vaginismus and the mental load that can kill the mood before anyone even makes it to bed, Chantelle explains why great sex isn’t about performance, it’s about curiosity, communication and giving yourself permission to change the rules. Plus, she answers your anonymous listener questions: Why can you orgasm alone but not with a partner? Is it normal to lose all desire after kids? And what should you know before going to your first sex party? GET IN TOUCH Sign up to the Well Newsletter to receive your weekly dose of trusted health expertise without the medical jargon.

Why does sex sometimes feel like a chore or worse, a pain? And does your GP really care what your "down there" looks like during a pap smear? In this episode, Claire Murphy and Dr. Mariam dive deep into the complexities of sexual health and pelvic wellness. They are joined by sexual medicine consultant Dr. Karen Freilich to break down the science of dyspareunia (painful intercourse). From the "Car Alarm" theory of pain to the "Accelerator and Brake" model of desire, we explore why your body might be tensing up and how to hit the reset button. Plus, in Med School, we tackle a viral TikTok myth: Is women's saliva more acidic than men's, and does that mean we're doomed to more cavities? We look at the research (or lack thereof) and why "pink" toothpaste isn't a thing. And, in the Quick Consult, Dr. Mariam answers Kayla’s burning question: When you're in the stirrups for a cervical screening, can the doctor see your butthole?

Have you heard the stereotype of women peeing when they sneeze or laugh as they get older? What's up with that? Can it be prevented? What about pelvic pain, constipation, or tampon discomfort? All of these have one thing in common: pelvic floor health. Notice that the commonality is NOT pregnancy or delivery, like is often believed. Women can have pelvic floor issues, like urinary incontinence, when they are young, unmarried, or have never had biological children. The real question is: what can we do to prevent pelvic floor dysfunction like this? Pelvic floor exercises? Breathing techniques? Therapy? To answer that question and more, we've welcomed Dr. Erin Suellentrop, orthopedic and pelvic floor physical therapist to answer your most asked question!NOTE: This episode may not be appropriate for all audiences as it does reference intercourse.GUEST BIO: Dr. Erin Suellentrop is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and the founder of ADAPT Physical Therapy in Wichita, Kansas, where she specializes in orthopedic and pelvic floor physical therapy.

Pelvic floor problems affect a huge number of women, yet many suffer in silence, unsure what's normal and what isn't. In this episode, we're joined by Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist and urogynaecology specialist Breffini Anglim O'Regan to break down everything you need to know about pelvic floor health, from prolapse and urinary incontinence to the real impact of pregnancy, childbirth, and ageing. We explore the full range of treatment options, from physiotherapy and pessaries to surgical interventions, including a clear and balanced look at the mesh surgery controversy, what it is, why it was widely used, what went wrong for some women, and why it is still being used in other countries but not in Ireland. We also unpack why leakage is not something women should just “put up with,” the role of vaginal estrogen and why it is often misunderstood, how to know when to seek help, and what questions to ask before considering surgery, with the aim of giving women clear, evidence-based information so they can make informed decisions about their own bodies without fear, stigma, or misinformation.

In this bold and deeply informative episode of the Orgasmic Birth Podcast, Debra Pascali-Bonaro sits down with pelvic floor expert Jana Danielson to challenge long-held myths about women's bodies, postpartum healing, and pleasure. From incontinence to pain during sex to diminished orgasm, many women are told these experiences are "normal" after birth. Jana offers a powerful reframe: they may be common — but they are not normal, and they are not something women have to live with. Together, they explore how pelvic floor health is foundational not only for birth and recovery, but for lifelong vitality, confidence, and pleasure. Jana shares her personal journey from chronic illness and disconnection to healing through breath and movement — a path that ultimately led her to develop the Cooch Ball and her unique approach to pelvic floor fitness. In this episode, you'll learn: Why "just do your Kegels" may be outdated — and even harmful The difference between a tight pelvic floor and a strong one How breath and posture directly impact pelvic floor function Why symptoms like leaking, pain, and low libido are signals — not life sentences The connection between pelvic floor health and orgasmic potential This conversation is a powerful invitation to reconnect with your body, reclaim your health, and redefine what's possible — at every stage of life. About Jana Danielson Jana is a pelvic floor and movement expert, founder of Bloom Better, and creator of the Cooch Ball — the world's first pelvic floor fitness tool for women.

On this episode of Bone Talk, BHOF Claire Gill is joined by Ingrid Harm-Ernandes, PT, WCS, BCB-PMD to unpack a topic many overlook in bone health conversations: the pelvic floor. Their discussion reveals how this hidden muscle system plays a critical role in strength, balance, mobility, and fall prevention. The pelvic floor is more than just a support structure. It acts as a foundation for the body, working in coordination with the core, hips, and spine. When functioning properly, it supports organs, controls bladder and bowel function, contributes to sexual health, and stabilizes movement. When it is weak or not functioning correctly, it can increase the risk of falls and fractures.

Pelvic floor health is an often overlooked, but critically important aspect of female athlete health and performance. Despite increasing awareness, many athletes, coaches, and practitioners remain unaware of how common pelvic floor dysfunction is among female athletes and how significantly it can impact both performance and quality of life.In this episode of Clinically Pressed, Andrew Jagim sits down with Dr. Lisa VanWiel (University of Wisconsin–La Crosse) to discuss pelvic floor health in female athletes, with a particular focus on urinary incontinence, one of the most common symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction. Research suggests that 60–70% of female athletes experience some degree of urinary incontinence, particularly in sports that involve running, jumping, and high-impact movements. Despite its high prevalence, many athletes are reluctant to discuss these issues or may assume it is simply a normal consequence of sport participation.Dr. VanWiel helps break down why pelvic floor health matters for athletes, how dysfunction can influence performance and injury risk, and what athletes and practitioners should be aware of when identifying potential issues.Topics discussed in this episode include:• The role of the pelvic floor in athletic performance and core stability• Why urinary incontinence is so prevalent in female athletes (60–70%)• Common warning signs and symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction athletes and coaches should recognize• How pelvic floor dysfunction can impact performance, comfort, and confidence in sport• Practical strategies athletes can use to support pelvic floor health• The role of pelvic floor physical therapy and rehabilitation, and the high success rates seen with targeted interventionsImportantly, this conversation highlights that urinary leakage during sport is not normal and should not be ignored. With proper evaluation and treatment, particularly through specialized physical therapy, many athletes experience substantial improvements and can continue training and competing without limitations.Whether you're a strength coach, athletic trainer, sports medicine clinician, or athlete, this episode provides practical insight into an often under-discussed topic that has major implications for the health and performance of female athletes.#complicatedsimple #resultsthatgiveback #heartbeatbarbell

Deep within the body lies a group of muscles we rarely think about, yet they hold so much of our daily lives—our continence, our stability, our pleasure, and sometimes our pain. The pelvic floor is both an anatomical and emotional terrain, where physiology meets intimacy and where silence has long replaced education. Yet despite its importance, pelvic health remains surrounded by silence and stigma, even though pelvic floor disorders affect nearly one in three women and millions of men worldwide. Why do so many people live with pelvic pain, incontinence, or painful intimacy without ever seeking help? How much of sexual pleasure and dysfunction is rooted in the body—and how much in the mind? And what might change if we finally started talking openly about pelvic health, intimacy, and the muscles that quietly support them both?In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Willy Quach, DPT, PT (known online as Dr. Q / Pelvic Floor Galore), a California-based Doctor of Physical Therapy and a pelvic health specialist, particularly in rehabilitation for men and the queer and underserved communities. Dr. Quach received his BS in Kinesiology and Exercise Science and DPT from California State University, Northridge.We are also joined by Kimmy Wu, MHC, MA (known online as the Asian Sex Therapist), a New York-based relational and sex psychotherapist, seeking to tear down the taboos surrounding the topics of sex and pleasure. Kimmy received her MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Northwestern University. Currently, she is the founder of Thirdspace, a startup that helps create authentic connections in a disconnected world, and the mental health writer behind 'Between Living & Dreaming,' a Substack that explores the tensions of being human & cultural critiques of modern society. Previously, Kimmy was the Director of the WAVES program of Asian Mental Health Collective, a community-driven initiative focused on reducing stigma and promoting mental wellness within the Asian diaspora.Follow Friends of Franz Podcast: Website, Instagram, FacebookFollow Christian Franz (Host): Instagram, YouTube

In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Ashley Dwyer, a PharmD-turned nutrition and fitness coach, to cover a wide range of topics, with a strong focus on PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome), a metabolic condition that affects fertility, cycles, and systemic health.  We dig into practical lifestyle strategies for insulin-resistant PCOS, including balanced meals, protein and fiber, blood sugar management, movement, and stress reduction, plus why long-term keto often isn't a great fit. We also discuss GLP-1 medications, including concerns about HRV and resting heart rate, and why foundations and coaching matter when someone uses them.  Finally, we discuss the current “wild west” of peptides, the lack of human data, dosing and purity issues, and the importance of transparency, consistency, and identity-based behavior change for body composition and long-term health.

What if the most expensive healthcare decisions aren't made in the boardroom — but in the exam room, when the wrong infection gets treated with the wrong antibiotic? In this episode of the Your Health University, Podcast, Jamie sits down with Madison Browning, a registered nurse in urology at Your Health, to talk about what proper urological care actually looks like, why it matters far beyond the individual patient, and how a strong, collaborative provider team is the difference between a patient thriving and a patient stuck in a revolving door of emergency room visits.

There's a silent struggle that many couples face—issues of pain, discomfort, or disconnection in intimate life that go unspoken and unattended. For so long, pelvic floor challenges have been seen as private burdens to bear alone, surrounded by stigma or confusion about where to turn for help.

Could better understanding and open conversation actually transform your intimacy and emotional connection? In this episode, you'll discover how pelvic floor health influences pleasure, pain, and intimacy—and why these challenges are best faced together, not solo. Drawing from expert insights and practical guidance, you'll learn how increased awareness and communication can bridge the gap between partners, foster support and compassion, and empower you with tools for healing.

In this laugh-out-loud (and oh-so-needed) conversation, Wendy Valentine sits down with pelvic floor + perimenopause educator Jana Danielson to talk about what's really going on “down there” in midlife—leaks when you sneeze, painful intimacy, constipation, tight hips, anxiety, and that constant feeling that your body is changing without your permission.   Jana breaks down pelvic floor basics in a way that finally makes sense, busts the biggest myth about “core strength,” explains why Kegels often backfire, and shares simple, practical tools (including her Cooch Ball + breathwork) to help you feel more confident, comfortable, and connected to your body again.   What you'll learn The most common signs of a too-tight vs. too-weak pelvic floor (and why most women are tighter than they think) Why Kegels can make things worse—and what to do instead to restore real function How breathing (diaphragm + pelvic floor) impacts leaks, urgency, and even stress/anxiety The surprising connection between pelvic floor health and constipation, hip/back pain, posture, and circulation A simple daily approach (yes, minutes!) to support pelvic floor strength, relaxation, and pleasure/confidence in perimenopause and menopause

I sat down with Dr. Sara Reardon, a pelvic floor physical therapist known as The Vagina Whisperer, to talk about a part of women's health that quietly affects how we move, train, recover, and age. It is rarely discussed until symptoms begin to interfere with daily life. We explore the life stages when pelvic health is most vulnerable, including pregnancy, postpartum recovery, athletic training, and menopause, times when women are often told to accept changes without explanation. Sara offers clarity on how the pelvic floor adapts through these transitions and how early, thoughtful support can make a real difference. This episode provides perspective, reassurance, and a path forward to better understand your body, helping you move more confidently through every stage of life. We examine how pelvic floor health shows up in daily life: - How leaking, pain, and pressure reflect coordination issues rather than personal failure - Why athletes and active women experience pelvic floor symptoms more often than expected - How breathing patterns and pressure management affect strength, stability, and comfort - What pregnancy and postpartum recovery actually demand from the pelvic floor - How menopause changes tissue health, sensation, and support - Why pelvic floor care influences longevity, mobility, and confidence as we age About Dr. Sara Reardon: Sara Reardon, PT, DPT, also known as The Vagina Whisperer, is a board-certified pelvic floor physical therapist and leading voice in women's pelvic health. With over a decade of clinical experience, she helps women better understand their bodies and address pelvic floor issues across pregnancy, postpartum, athletics, and midlife.

Trish welcomes Dr. Courtney Johnson, a pelvic floor physical therapist specializing in women's health for female athletes and active moms. Together, they challenge the outdated advice of relying solely on Kegels, explaining why tight pelvic floors aren't necessarily strong and can contribute to issues like leakage, prolapse, and pain, while debunking the normalization of postpartum symptoms as "just part of being a mom." Dr. Courtney advocates for a holistic approach to recovery, emphasizing the role of factors such as stress, sleep, sunshine, breathing techniques, pressure management, lifestyle habits, and even loose clothing in supporting pelvic floor health and the broader core system.

She is the Founder of The V-Hive, an online pelvic floor workout app for pregnancy, postpartum, menopause, painful sex, and pelvic floor strengthening. She has hundreds of thousands of followers as The Vagina Whisperer on Instagram and TikTok and is the author of the national bestselling book, FLOORED: A Woman's Guide to Pelvic Floor Health at Every Age and Stage. Chapters in this episode: 00:00 Introduction to the Vagina Whisperer02:46 Understanding Pelvic Floor Health05:39 The Importance of Pelvic Floor Therapy08:48 Pelvic Floor Issues: Weakness vs. Tension11:40 Impact of Birth Method on Pelvic Floor14:31 Daily Habits Affecting Pelvic Floor Health17:24 Exercises for a Healthy Pelvic Floor20:24 Proactive Care During Pregnancy23:30 Pelvic Floor Training During Pregnancy26:18 Preparing for Labor and Birth27:58 Pelvic Floor Support for Conception28:50 Postpartum Recovery and Pelvic Floor Health31:03 Understanding Diastasis and Recovery34:00 Addressing Rib Flares and Posture37:26 Resources for Pelvic Floor HealthWays to work with Corinne: Join the Mind Your Hormones Method, HERE!

Reigniting Desire in Midlife with Dr. Diane Mueller: Stress, Hormones & Real-World Intimacy FixesDesire doesn't vanish in midlife—it evolves. In this episode of Asking for a Friend, certified sexologist Dr. Diane Mueller joins host Michele Folan to unpack what really happens to libido, intimacy, and connection as hormones shift, stress piles up, and long-term relationships get comfortable.We explore the science of midlife desire, from how oxytocin calms cortisol and improves sleep to how vibration therapy and pelvic floor health can ease pain and increase pleasure. You'll learn the difference between “wanting to want” and true arousal, how testosterone fits into the libido puzzle, and why body image and tissue health deserve as much attention as hormones.Dr. Mueller introduces her concept of “erotic repair”—a framework that moves intimacy beyond penetration and toward curiosity, communication, and play. Together, we tackle mismatched desire, dopamine boredom, and the single most important habit separating happy couples from disconnected ones: talking specifically about what feels good.Expect evidence-based tools and real-world scripts you can try tonight—like the Yes/No/Maybe exercise that makes awkward conversations easier. Whether you're navigating menopause, rebuilding intimacy after stress, or simply craving more connection, this episode delivers honest, science-backed guidance with zero fluff. Dr. Dian Mueller's book: https://WantToWantIt.comFree Libido Quiz to get to the root causes of low libido: https://LibidoQuiz.comFree - Yes, No, Maybe Checklist to bring in novelty: https://MySexDoc.comRecommended Lubes and products: https://MyLibidoDoc.com/Products IG: https://instagram.com/myromancedoc_________________________________________

No one told me that postpartum recovery isn't just about “getting back to normal.” It's about rebuilding from the inside out, pelvic floor, core, energy, mindset, and that what you do (and don't do) in those early days matters more than you think.That's why I brought Dr. Jessica London, pelvic floor therapist and mama's best friend in recovery, on the podcast to walk you through exactly what's happening in your body and how to move forward, without overdoing it. (And she was kind enough to share her Core Recovery Guide with our community!) Postpartum healing is deeply connected to how you move, rest, and nourish yourself right now. Pushing too hard can set you back, but intentional movement, pelvic floor awareness, and smart recovery practices can actually make you stronger than before. Whether you're 2 days, 2 months, or 2 years postpartum, this episode gives you a roadmap for recovery that lasts.Show Notes Here!Where to Find Jessica: Instagram Website PodcastLinks Mentioned:Episode #275 - Pelvic Floor 101: What Every New Mom Needs to Know with Dr. Jessica LondonThe Core Recovery Guide My Essential Birth CourseMy Essential Birth Postpartum CourseMy Essential Birth InstagramGET IN TOUCH!
