Today we’re diving into a topic that is getting continually more informative and popular. And frankly, I’m so glad it is! The topic is pelvic floor wellness and dysfunction. In this conversation, I’m chatting with Dr. Sara Reardon, pelvic floor physical therapist, and we’re discussing pelvic floor wellness before, during, and after pregnancy.
What is the pelvic floor?
The pelvic floor muscles go from the front of the vagina all the way to the back of the rectum touching the tailbone. This complex group of ligaments and muscles support several parts of the female anatomy including the bladder, the vagina, the rectum, and the pelvic bones. When the pelvic floor is not in proper function, it can disrupt a number of otherwise normal bodily functions such as urinating and pooping. In addition, if these muscles and ligaments are too tight, too loose, or tweaked wrong, they can cause tremendous pain and discomfort. We want to avoid that, or if it is already occurring, we want to help alleviate it!
