Meet Dr. Thao Martinez, a physical therapist based out of Renton, WA! In this week's episode, Dr. Thao shares her journey into the world of physical therapy that started with her own dance injury during college. After attending a lecture from a pelvic therapist, she found her specialty in pelvic floor health -- a topic that's not often talked about but can effect people of all ages and genders.
If you've ever experienced leakage while laughing, felt discomfort during sex, or have relentless, chronic back pain even after trying other treatments, be sure to tune in! Learn what to expect during your first pelvic exam with a PT and when you should see a pelvic floor therapist if you're planning to get pregnant (hint: any time!). Dr. Thao answers listener questions and provides a wealth of knowledge that can help anyone get that push to make an appointment to get their pains checked out, big or small.
