Episode Synopsis

"Restricting exercise in the hopes of saving a vagina is not holistic women's health". Anthony Lo - Physio Detective

We go into what a Prolapse is and whether it's really as scary as society makes out.

I go into detail about my pessary experience and what I tried instead.

My fear of doing anything after being told things like - 'Don't do wide stance squats".

Why fear mongering isn't helpful and what you can do instead if you have pelvic floor dysfunction such as a prolapse.

I discuss olympic lifts positions such as Hips thrusts and how to make tweaks to ensure you get the most from your training without leaking or causing more injury.

Why the Feeling of bulging after an intense workout may not actually be an issue.

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms discussed in this episode and/or the below, please see a Pelvic floor Physiotherapist.
Are persistently constipated, despite treatment
Feel discomfort from the bulge of tissue
