Why All Women Must See a Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist During Pregnancy
Goal of this podcast episode is to give you the knowledge in order to help you have a smoother pregnancy, easier delivery, and easier postpartum recovery.
Topics we discuss:
*
What happens to the body during pregnancy that would warrant someone to see a pelvic floor PT. Why a pelvic floor PT specifically
*
Posture and movement & implication on the bony structure of the body and the soft tissue (core)
*
Common problems that people experience during pregnancy & how pelvic floor PT helps
*
Hyperemesis gravidarum
*
SPD
*
Low back pain
*
Sciatica
*
Fluid retention
*
Pain with sex
*
Leakage
*
Constipation/pooping
We talk about how a pelvic floor PT understands how the different systems interact/affect one another.
*
Dysbiosis within the gut
Identify risk factors associated with these issues and address those risk factors before person becomes symptomatic
*
Imbalances within the body that result in movement impairments that place excessive stressors on the body
When addressed proactively, a lot less care is needed. Versus waiting till symptoms arise. The problem that we see is that people don’t believe it is going to happen to them until it does.
We talk about what happens to the body during delivery that would warrant someone to see a pelvic floor PT specifically.

The Impact Of Grief and Loss On Injury Risk & Healing With Dr. Megan Daley
We all experience some degree of loss throughout our lives. Loss can be death of a loved one, loss of an identity, etc... and it impacts our threshold for injury, pain, and overall healing. In this episode Dr. Jocelyn & Dr. Megan talk about how loss and physical healing intersect.
About our guest...
Dr. Megan grew up as an athlete (and academic), getting injured and being in and out of physical therapy herself. She got her undergrad degree in mathematics in SC, even though she knew she wanted to work in healthcare, and then moved to AZ to get her doctorate in physical therapy. She spent the first several years of practice in corporate healthcare, going to many continuing education weekends and searching for her own mentors. And well, this episode includes why she’ll never work with insurance again and why her focus is on preventative care and connecting physical, mental, and emotional health.
She spends her time teaching for the Institute of Clinical Excellence on the weekends (faculty since 2017), treating patients at her own Out Of Network clinic during the week (with a fitness and mindset forward approach), competing in Olympic weightlifting, and hiking/snowboarding/camping as much as possible, preferably with her boyfriend and her corgi.

We dive right into Alexis's story of how she jumped into Pelvic Health soon after graduating physical therapy school, how she connected with her patients experiencing pelvic floor dysfunction because of her own experience with #endometriosis, #urgeincontinence. We talk about how she got into helping women, men, and everything in between both in person and via #telehealth. She is the Telehealth queen... doing it well before COVID-19 hit.
