In this episode, we discuss pelvic health from a different lens.  Many individuals experience fears and worries related to pelvic health issues, such as anxiety about pain, embarrassment about discussing symptoms, concerns about sexual dysfunction, and fears of invasive treatments or surgeries. The mental health aspects of pelvic health issues are frequently overlooked. The stigma and embarrassment associated with these conditions can prevent individuals from seeking the help they need, further impacting their mental health. Increasing awareness and normalizing conversations about pelvic health and its connection to emotional well-being is essential in addressing this gap and providing comprehensive care.In this episode, Dr. Carlin and I dive more into the part of pelvic health that is not talked about and that is the emotional and mental health piece.

This episode is inspired by conversations I've had with moms about their pelvic floor issues and Kegels. The majority of the time when we talk about peeing your pants with coughing, sneezing, or laughing a mom's first response is "I've been doing my kegels" or "My doctor just told me to kegel and follow up with them". What does that even mean? In this episode, we will discuss what the pelvic floor is, what are kegels and why they aren't always effective, and lastly, talk about what you can do beyond kegels to work on your pelvic floor. Book your free 30-minute discovery call to chat about your goals and ways I can support you!Thank you so much for checking out this The Resilient Body Podcast episode.

In this episode, we are diving into a common misconception that a tight muscle doesn't always mean you need to stretch. This conversation is inspired by patients who come into the office saying they need to do more stretching or asking for a stretch routine because their muscles are tight. We have to stop and assess why those muscles are tight or always tight for some people. Why do you continue to do the same thing if you have been stretching for years with only temporary or no change? Maybe that's because the tight muscle you are stretching needs support differently. Tune into this episode as we learn common reasons why muscles feel tight, instances where stretching isn't the solution, and alternative solutions to stretching aka strengthening.

This episode is inspired by conversations I’ve had with potential patients about what they’re looking for as an outcome. In our society, we are taught that quick fixes or band aids are what is going to solve your pain or problem but the reality is it’s only covering up the symptoms and may be causing you more harm in the long run. One of the biggest things that we focus on in our office is long-term solutions and making sure that you understand what’s happening in your body and what you can do to solve this problem and get the outcome you want and deserve.  For some moms that means getting back to their strength training or fitness classes or just being able to play with your kid without wondering if you’re low back will “go out”. Tune in as we talk about the difference between the two and bring awareness to where you are. Book your free 30-minute discovery call to chat about your goals and ways I can support you!Thank you so much for checking out this The Resilient Body Podcast episode.
