When asked what they know about their pelvic floor, most women would say “umm I don’t know… kegels?” And before this episode, when I heard the word kegels, I immediately thought of the Sex and The City Episode with Samantha Jones referencing them and thought that's all the excerise I needed after a baby to tighten my pelvic floor up again. But that isn't the case.
Pelvic floor physiotherapy can help you regain control, maximize function and recovery, and improve your well being. And Vicki James Lefleur of Unstuck Physiotheraphy wants her clients to know that there's nothing to be embarrassed or ashamed of when it comes to you and your pelvic floor.
Nothing is off the table, as Holly and Vicki discuss pelvic pain, pregnancy, birth and postpartum, leakage, constipation, and why kegel excercies aren't necessarily the only way to strengthen your pelvic floor.
