Ever wonder what is normal, what is not, and when to get help with the pelvic floor as a mom? Join me and expert Julie Wallace, a dedicated pelvic floor physical therapist and owner of Insight Pelvic Health. Join us as Julie shares her wealth of knowledge on the vital role the pelvic floor plays in so many areas of health, wellness, and movement. Through personal stories and candid discussions, we unravel common misconceptions, issues, and ways you can have more comfort, less pain, not peeing yourself, and more pleasure in sex and intimacy. Let’s talk sex, orgasms, intimacy, and changes postpartum- and how to support yourself through the changes in desire and sensation that come alongside motherhood in so many areas of our lives.
We tackle pressing topics like pelvic floor dysfunction and its surprising links to issues such as foot and knee pain. If you’ve experienced pain during sex, you pee a little when you jump or move, or pee all the time-it’s crucial to know: it’s not normal. Julie provides insights on how addressing these concerns can significantly enhance your sexual enjoyment and overall function and wellness.
Focusing on postpartum changes, we break down myths surrounding pelvic floor exercises and underscore the need for early intervention, whether following vaginal or cesarean deliveries, to improve quality of life and physical activity.
We also delve into the multifaceted nature of pelvic floor pain, exploring both physiological and psychological factors contributing to discomfort. From cultural influences to personal boundaries, Julie and Becca will guide you in understanding your body’s signals and emphasize the importance of feeling safe and supported, especially in the postpartum period.
Whether you're a mother yearning to reconnect with your sensuality or simply curious about pelvic health, this episode offers thoughtful perspectives and practical tips to empower your journey toward enhanced well-being. Tune in and take the first step towards embracing your pelvic power!
Our bodies, our pleasure, our boundaries, and our capacity all change alongside pregnancy, birth, and motherhood and pelvic floor health is a part of healing and finding a new normal of health.
