77. DR JESSICA WARNECKE - The Importance of Pelvic Floor Health for Athletes The Bodies Built Better podcast

    • Alternative Health

If you think Pelvic Floor Health is only for Pilates classes and postpartum women, you'd be wrong. The impact of pelvic floor dysfunction is rarely discussed and this often-ignored problem affects both men and women. It can impact not only your quality of life but your sports performance also.

In this episode, I talk to Dr. Jessica Warnecke, orthopaedic and pelvic floor physical therapist and founder of PACE Physical Therapy in Austin, Texas. She focuses on holistically treating each person she works with and helping them find the root cause of their concerns in order to empower them with the tools and support they need to heal. 

During our conversation, Dr. Jessica shares the importance of preventative care for Pelvic Floor health whether you're an athlete, you are trying to get pregnant,  or you are trying to get back into exercise postpartum.

In this episode, we cover:


What the Pelvic Floor is.
What it means to have a dysfunctional pelvic floor.
The cause, signs and symptoms 
How it is impacted by your training whether that’s running, cycling, or weightlifting
What you need to know to manage these different types of training loads.
