Description

Today Kim is hanging with Kathleen White, a Pelvic Health Physiotherapist and all-around Women’s health advocate. Kathleen shares her own post partum health journey and how her frustration with her health care motivated her to help other women. She wants you to know that your body is strong and resilient and incredibly capable. You are not broken!

Here’s what we’re talking about in this episode:

• Why women need to advocate for their own health
• What is “normal” when it comes to your post partum body
• A brief overview of what Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy actually is and who it can be helpful for
• Pelvic Organ Prolapse: what it is, the symptoms and what to do
• Informed consent during childbirth is non negotiable.
• Birth Trauma: your birth can look normal on paper, but how you feel about it after the fact can be very different.
• It’s never too late to learn a new strategy or way to move your body
• You’re not broken, you don’t need to be fixed and there is nothing wrong with you.
