-
- Education
We interviewed Bre Stuhlmuller PT, DPT about pelvic floor physical therapy, especially as it relates to labor and birth. Bre works at Origin in Brentwood, CA. You can go to their website www.theoriginway.com for in person or virtual appointments that are covered by insurance. You can also check out their instagram page for informational posts!
We answer some important questions in this episode. What is the pelvic floor? How is it involved in the pushing stage of labor? Is peeing yourself normal after you've given birth? Listen to this episode to learn all of these things and more! I encourage everyone to see a pelvic floor therapist if you're currently pregnant, have had a baby already, or you are experiencing abnormal symptoms like incontinence, painful pooping, painful sex, perineal scar or c-section scar sensitivity, sciatica pain, etc.
You will learn so much!!
