We explore the critical aspects of women's health, pregnancy, postpartum, and pelvic floor health with Erin. Discover why advocating for yourself during pre- and post-pregnancy physical therapy is vital and learn about the signs and symptoms that should not be overlooked. Erin enlightens us on how to find a trauma-informed pelvic health practitioner and the importance of adapting to various movements such as running, jumping, and sneezing post-pregnancy.
Tune in as we discuss the emotional impact of training during pregnancy and the effects of strength levels and genetics on recovery. We touch on the importance of seeking out a pelvic health practitioner for post-pregnancy issues, even if the pregnancy was years ago. We also talk about the struggles faced by many pelvic health providers due to insurance models and the benefits of seeking out cash-based PTs.
