    It’s Not Just Kegels: The Truth About Pelvic Floor Therapy

    In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Aryn Delaney, Doctor of Physical Therapy with advanced training in pelvic floor rehabilitation, to demystify pelvic floor therapy and why it’s such a missing piece in women’s health. We break down what the pelvic floor actually is, how it impacts bladder control, organ support, sexual function, and even core stability, and how stress and trauma can show up physically in these muscles. Most importantly, we address a common fear: pelvic floor therapy does not have to mean invasive internal work. This conversation is all about education, empowerment, and helping women understand that symptoms like leaking, pain, or pelvic pressure are common — but not normal.

    Healing Beyond Adjustments: Chiropractic Care & Beyond with Dr. Sandy Arthur

Sandy is a chiropractor who also practices acupuncture and Active Release Technique (ART), which gives her a truly whole-body approach to pain, tension, and movement. We talk about what integrative care really looks like, why focusing on just one area of the body often isn’t enough, and who benefits most from combining these modalities.
