How often should I do kegels? What is perineal massage? How do I know if I have a hypertonic (too tight) or a hypotonic pelvic floor? Can I keep doing sports while I am pregnant? When can I return to a fitness class after birth? Will it be harder to recover from a c-section?
In this episode, I speak with Dana Elliot, physio based in Whistler, BC, and ask her some of the most frequently asked questions I get around fitness and the body during pregnancy and after birth.
We cover a lot of ground in this one, so grab a tea, or maybe even a notebook as we discuss frequently asked questions about your VJJ and the pelvic floor before birth and in recovery, about sports in pregnancy and postpartum and so much more.
