    Strong From the Inside Out: Why Pelvic Floor Health Matters for Your Bones

    On this episode of Bone Talk, BHOF Claire Gill is joined by Ingrid Harm-Ernandes, PT, WCS, BCB-PMD to unpack a topic many overlook in bone health conversations: the pelvic floor. Their discussion reveals how this hidden muscle system plays a critical role in strength, balance, mobility, and fall prevention. The pelvic floor is more than just a support structure. It acts as a foundation for the body, working in coordination with the core, hips, and spine. When functioning properly, it supports organs, controls bladder and bowel function, contributes to sexual health, and stabilizes movement. When it is weak or not functioning correctly, it can increase the risk of falls and fractures.

    Stronger Together: Navigating Osteoporosis as a Family

    Helen and Michelle, a mother and daughter navigating osteoporosis together, join BHOF CEO Claire Gill on the latest episode of Bone Talk. What began as a fall at a summer concert became a turning point that reshaped how their family thinks about bone health. Michelle initially believed her arm could not really be broken after what seemed like a minor fall, but X-rays confirmed the fracture and forced her to reconsider something she had long associated with much older women. Together, Helen and Michelle discuss the role of family history, the importance of self-advocacy, and why bone health should be part of family conversations long before a fracture occurs.
