In this episode of the Active Mom Podcast mini-series
Inside Pelvic Floor Support: Devices, Fit & What You Should Know, we’re speaking with:
Sandra Whittle, pelvic health physiotherapist and inventor of SomaFlex—a device designed to provide a softer, more flexible approach to internal pelvic support.
SomaFlex was developed to offer an alternative to more rigid internal devices by using a multi-directional, shape-shifting design that blends with the body’s tissues.
We cover:
• how SomaFlex works mechanically (flexible intravaginal support)
• how it differs from traditional pessaries
• who it may be a good fit for (and who it’s not)
• how sizing and fitting works
• how to use it correctly and common mistakes
• where it fits alongside pelvic floor rehab and return to activity
