About this episode

Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy is still a relatively unknown specialty and yet it is incredibly important. On this podcast, we discuss parenting and child health and development, but also health and mental health for caregivers. And pelvic floor health is part of that! I welcome Dr. Sara Reardon, a pelvic floor physical therapist who was recently featured in TIME magazine, and founder of @the.vagina.whisperer

She joins me to discuss:  

  • Why pelvic floor PT may be beneficial to you 
  • How pregnancy (and not just delivery) impact the pelvic floor 
  • How to find a pelvic floor PT
  • Tips on pooping and peeing during pregnancy and postpartum that can save your pelvic floor
