Peeing when jumping on a trampoline. Fear of running. Prolapse. Back pain. Separated abdominals. Pelvic floor pain. 
While these are common for mothers after having babies, they don’t need to be the reality. Giving birth doesn’t mean we must experience these things. And for those of us who already experience these, they aren’t a life sentence. 
In this chat with Doctor of Orthopedic & Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy, Dr Angela Turnow, we uncover what we can do to prevent and remediate any challenges. 
Dr Angela and I chat about: 

Why pelvic health is so important 
The red flags that our pelvic health isn’t as good as it could be 
How relaxing is just as important as strengthening the pelvic floor 
The impact that the core and pelvic floor have on our emotional regulation and sense of safety 
Surprising ways to support the pelvic floor 
How pelvic health is connected to back pain, jaw pain and plantar fasciitis 
Why breathing is a useful tool 
How pooping can prepare you for birth 
What we can do if our pelvic floor needs some support and care 
How to support the pelvic floor 

Dr Angela is a doctor of orthopedic and pelvic floor physical therapy. As a mom of three, she has firsthand experience with fixing her own prolapse, bladder leaks, back pain and pelvic floor problems. She helps active moms fix pelvic floor problems with movement and drills. She believes the body needs to support the pelvic floor versus blame it. She loves running, competing in triathlons, hiking, and being at their lake with her family.
