This week we delve into the root causes of constipation with Dr. Michelle Weeks a Doctor of Physical Therapy, Orthopedic Physical Therapist, and Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist. As a board-certified Women’s Health Clinical Specialist, she brings a wealth of knowledge to the topic.
We talked about the common reasons why constipation occurs, the steps you need to take to avoid constipation and the reason behind these, and more!
Let’s get to it:
If you want to reach out to Dr. Michelle, you can message her on Instagram via the handle @weekswellness. She also owns three clinics, one is in Massachusetts, and the two are in Florida namely Panama City and Tallahassee.
Whether you're navigating perimenopause, post-menopause, hypermobility, or chronic pain, there's more to understanding your symptoms than looking at one body system in isolation.
I'll be sharing practical tools, research, and insights from a whole-person, movement and rehabilitation perspective, exploring how fascia, hormones, the nervous system, lymphatics, viscera, and the musculoskeletal system work together to influence how we feel and function.
My goal is to help you better understand the connections within your body, look beyond where symptoms show up, and explore ways to support your health as a whole.
