Pelvic Floor, Core & More with THE BALANCED MOMTALITY | Exercise Safely During Pregnancy and Postpartum, Heal Pelvic Floor Leaking, Prolapse and Pain, Balance Self Care for Moms

Dr. Desiree Cassell | Physical Therapist, Women’s Health Specialist, Balanced and Fit Momma

Women’s Health & Wellness* Prenatal Fitness *Postpartum Recovery *Pelvic Floor Exercises *Holistic Health *Whole Body Healing Are you a busy pregnant or postpartum (once postpartum always postpartum) mom that just wants to feel strong and healthy without the stress of having to revolve your life around your diet and exercise? Wanting functional and practical strategies to get in safe and effective exercises without fear of pain, prolapse or peeing your pants? All during your normal daily routines? Are you wanting to stay active and comfortable during your pregnancy, and avoid many of the common aches and pains? While also prepping and optimizing your mind and body for a beautiful birthing experience? Ready to feel confident navigating postpartum recovery, being in-tune to your body, it’s boundaries to activity and avoiding common issues like diastasis recti (DRA), prolapse, and urinary incontinence (leaking)? Hey Momma! I’m Dr. Desiree Cassell, a Doctor of Physical Therapy that specializes in Women’s Health aka Pelvic Floor, a wife, mom of 3, foodie and lover of all things movement and mindfulness (bonus if it’s outdoors)! I can’t tell you how excited I am that you are here checking out The Balanced Momtality Women’s Health and Wellness Podcast! During my first pregnancy I experienced all the typical issues like DRA, urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and even hemorrhoids 😳. Only to be told “welcome to #momlife” by society and other moms in my life. So, like you, I accepted it as “normal”. Then, while working for my Doctor of Physical Therapy, I got pregnant with my second (still dealing with all the same issues and more 6 yrs later) and decided to put my new found knowledge to the test. YOU GUYS I was able to not only stop my urinary incontinence and prolapse from getting worse, I STOPPED LEAKING AND FEELING SYMPTOMS ALL TOGETHER! This is when my passion for educating, empowering and supporting other women and moms was born. I just knew I had to shout it from the rooftops that all those “common” symptoms ARE NOT NORMAL! You do not have to suffer and there IS HELP! Unfortunately, I brought all these issues up to my providers during my first pregnancy, only to be brushed off and told to do kegels and exercise. With that advice, I kegeld my life away and took a Pilates class postpartum that actually turned my DRA into an umbilical hernia and caused pain with intercourse because kegels were actually the opposite of what my pelvic floor needed (more on that inside the podcast 😉). Inside this podcast you will learn all about the pelvic floor and core system, common dysfunctions within the system during pregnancy and postpartum (and in general), how to connect and be aware of your body’s limits and how to SAFELY push those limits so you can be the strong, confident, and happy balanced momma you and your family deserve! Now let’s get you out of those pads and back to jumping on the trampoline with your kids and enjoying movement again! Put those airpods in, grab your water, roll out your mat and let’s connect!

Hey Girl!

Nutrition and Exercise go hand in hand, and having my Bachelors in Nutrition, I definitely address diet with all my patients and have talked about various nutrition concepts on this show. Yet, even sometimes I worry if my awareness and knowledge around food has caused some sort of eating disorder or almost obsessive relationship with food and what my kids and I are eating. And with all the confusion out there on the internet and social media, it can become very overwhelming to know how much food/calories and what types of foods are truly the best for your overall health. It is definitely individualized and meal planning should not be a one size fits all approach.

That is why I am SO excited to have Registered Dietitian and fellow 505 podcaster, Jessika Brown on today's show! Aside from also being from New Mexico and having graduated UNM’s Nutrition program a couple years earlier than me, Jessika has been helping women relearn their relationship with food through value- based goals, using biofeedback and evidence based nutrition. She has a private practice coaching women as well as her own podcast, The Fuel Her Awesome Show (linked below). She dives into so many great insights as well as some practical tips that will help you identify if you have a healthy relationship with food or not, how to start rebalancing your hormones through your gut and helping to overall improve gut and microbiome health. I personally love her approach as it is very similar to intuitive eating, but has a much more individualized and science based framework!

We know things like IBS, Chrons, anorexia, binge-eating and other eating/gut disorders are linked to pelvic floor pain and dysfunction so make sure you listen to this weeks episode as it will have lots of great insights in there for you to start healing your relationship with food, your gut and therefore, your pelvic floor!

As always, if you are experiencing any pelvic floor/women's health issue like urinary incontinence/leaking, pelvic pain, pain with sex, urgency, heaviness/prolapse or any other back/hip/joint pain let's get you booked for a virtual coaching session or in person physical therapy session for a more individualized plan and one-on-one instructions so you can feel confident in your body and start healing today!!

Hey Love,

This is the end of the series on pain with intercourse or Dyspareunia and inside this weeks episode I switch it up and let you all in on my own personal journey with pelvic pain. Dyspareunia is a common condition especially women who are postpartum, had tearing/scarring, have history of pelvic/abdominal procedures, have a history of trauma or sexual abuse (even from a pap-smear), have any underlying conditions like interstitial cystitis, vaginismus, constipation, endometriosis, cysts, prolapse and as we will learn in this episode, pelvic congestion syndrome. Pelvic Congestion Syndrome is a widely under diagnosed condition that can affect many women, especially mommas who have had multiple babies. Despite my knowledge with this condition and having treated it before, getting diagnosed with it has been surprising to say the least. Inside this week's episode I will take you through my own personal journey with this condition and pelvic pain so that you can better understand your symptoms and how to advocate for yourself.

While we can have many things contributing to pelvic pain, there is still so much we can do to relieve and resolve symptoms and bring you back to not only a pain-free relationship with sex but a pleasurable one. So stay tuned and let me know what you think and if you would like any more support in achieving any goals around pleasure, intimacy and pelvic pain!

As always, if you are experiencing any pelvic floor/women's health issue like urinary incontinence/leaking, pelvic pain, pain with sex, urgency, heaviness/prolapse or any other back/hip/joint pain let's get you booked for a virtual coaching session or in person physical therapy session for a more individualized plan and one-on-one instructions so you can feel confident in your body and start healing today!!

Hey Friend!

Happy New year! I can’t believe it is already 2024 and it’s the most obnoxious time of year.. Jk...kinda! Everyone is making goals and resolutions and most are going to fall off the wagon in a month or two. But I am here to help so that doesn’t have to be you! I know you have the best intentions to grow this year as a woman, a mom, a wife, a friend, a sister, a daughter, a business owner, whatever it is, there are so many aspects of our lives that take our attention and time and without being super intentional and planning your time, the year may pass without you making any big steps towards those goals and intentions. Whether you want to work out at home more, not be overwhelmed and be present with your kids, be consistent with your pelvic floor therapy exercises or get back into the gym, it needs to be something that you value in order to make it easier to show up. So inside today's episode I am diving into how I am navigating this time of year and still making goals, but ones that I feel confident I will be able to show up for because I care about them and because I have an action plan. I would love if you would come over to the FREE and Private facebook group (link below) and share what your takeaways were from this episode and what goals or intentions you have for 2024 so we can all help keep each other accountable!

If you are experiencing any pelvic floor/women's health issue like urinary incontinence/leaking, pelvic pain, pain with sex, urgency, heaviness/prolapse or any other back/hip/joint pain let's get you booked for a virtual coaching session or in person physical therapy session for a more individualized plan and one-on-one instructions so you can feel confident in your body and start healing today!!

Hey Girl!

I hope you enjoyed the Stress Series and the last two weeks episodes with Integrative Herbalist Amy McKelvey! If you haven’t yet listened, do it now! This week's episode was inspired by my chat with her and how we as women need to know, appreciate and understand our bodies. We need to know pleasure and what feels good and what doesn’t. As a woman, self pleasure is something that can come with alot of shame and guilt. Which is so silly because men boast about it all over the place, normalizing it, as it should be. However, if a woman talks about masturbating she is made to feel like she has done something wrong. Our culture has failed our women when it comes to our health, especially our sexual health. We need to be the advocates for our body so that we can not only understand our own human vessel, but also so we can understand pleasure and what our bodies like in order to know what our bodies don’t. This connection is also what will prevent many other pelvic health conditions like pelvic pain, pain with sex/intercourse, incontinence, UTI’s, prolapse and more! This is because having an orgasm has SO many benefits!

Inside this week's episode I am diving into all the juicy benefits of having an orgasm and why you need to give yourself one regularly! For the good of your health, and your pleasure. I’m also breaking down the stigma around this topic and talking about it openly to normalize these conversations for other women who are feeling shame around self pleasure and exploring your own body. It may not seem like this is necessary for your health, but listen to this full episode so you can really understand the amazing benefits of the big O.

If you are experiencing any pelvic floor/women's health issue like urinary incontinence/leaking, pelvic pain, pain with sex, urgency, heaviness/prolapse or any other back/hip/joint pain let's get you booked for a virtual coaching session or in person physical therapy session for a more individualized plan and one-on-one instructions so you can feel confident in your body and start healing today!!

Hey girl!

You are making the time to workout and strength train, but are you prioritizing the right exercises? It can be so overwhelming to try to create the right workout or fitness plan and our time is limited so we want to make sure we are getting the biggest bang for our buck! Whether it’s during pregnancy, postpartum or beyond, glute exercises are crucial for pelvic floor and whole body health! Did you know that your foot, knee or hip pain can, and probably is, being caused by glute weakness or an imbalance in the pelvic muscles?! Even painful sex can be because there is dysfunction in the glutes and pelvic muscles. As our bodies adapt and shift during pregnancy, postpartum or beyond, it is important to make sure we keep our glutes active and strong to help keep pain and pee-leaks away. However, there are so many leg and glute exercises that it can be overwhelming to try to know which ones to prioritize as busy but active moms!

Inside today's episode I am going to break down the four main exercises or functional movements that I think are crucial to maintaining balanced strength and stability around the pelvis, as a pelvic health physical therapist. Remember mommas, you do not have to be an experienced lifter to do these exercises. May of these you are already doing on a functional level, so it is more about learning the movement patterns and doing them at body weight or whatever weight feels good for your core and your body and showing up for it consistently!

If you have any injuries or painful symptoms, make sure to reach out so we can get you booked for a Coaching Session or in person Therapy session for a more individualized plan and one-on-one instructions so you can feel confident as you start strength training and grow that booty!!

Hey girl!

Are you tired of getting to the end of the day and feeling like you were stuck in the To-Do List and didn’t get your exercise in... again?! I have been there (as so many moms have) and I know you are wishing you could start being consistent and showing up for your health and fitness goals and actually accomplish them! If we keep waiting for the “free time” to show up, we will never get any exercise in. I am a mom of 3 and have troubleshooted different types of exercise and workout routines/structures through all different stages of motherhood both for me and my patients. If you are pregnant or postpartum, your energy and time are even more valuable and having systems in place for your fitness routine is crucial!

Inside today’s episode I share some of the amazing strategies and frameworks, like time blocking, that have helped me reach fitness goals way beyond what I thought possible. This episode is inspired by a woman that I stumbled across in my desire to get organized and out of the overwhelm, Chelsi Jo. Chelsi Jo has her own podcast, Systemize Your Life, that I highly recommend checking out if you were inspired by this episode and want TONS more on organization and ALL things systems. She has inspired me and totally converted me to someone who actually wants systems (and even uses a planner), despite rebelling against them all my life. She also has a Systemize Your Life Academy Program that will take you from overwhelmed to organized, helping you stay on top of not only your fitness, but your home and work life as well! Check out my affiliate link for her program below!

And if you want to get more support in systemizing your fitness routine, please reach out and lets get you booked for a Coaching Session or in person Therapy session! Make Sure to reach out to> [email protected]

Hey Momma!

Are you pregnant or planning to get pregnant and wanting to make sure you are preparing your body and mind for labor and delivery? Birth can be alot on the body and on the mind, but if we prepare with the tips discussed inside this episode, we can set ourselves up for a better chance that we will be able to have that natural vaginal birth, with shorter labor and pushing times, minimal to no perineal tearing and a better postpartum recovery experience. Out of my three birthing experiences, my second two were night and day compared to my first because of what I now understand about the mind body connection and the exercises I was able to do before hand during my third trimester to help assist my pelvic floor and pelvic girdle to open and get ready for baby.

So if you want to make sure you are doing everything you can to prepare your mind and body for birth, stay tuned for this week’s episode where I dive into the 5 tips that were a game changer for my labor and deliveries as well as for the hundreds of other women I have worked with. This information will help you reduce your risk of tearing, excessive labor times, pelvic organ prolapse, hemorrhoids, episiotomies, and c-section. I hope you find this informative and useful as you start to practice these tips the closer you get to your due date.

If you want to get more support in knowing what’s the most beneficial and optimal mobility and breath work exercises and soft tissue/perineal massage techniques that are best for your body, please reach out and lets get you booked for a Coaching Session or in person Therapy session!

Hey Lady!

It’s the next episode in the “Stress Series” and this week I am breaking down some of the basics when it comes to nutrition and our diet and how our stress is impacted by our nutrition and also how our nutrition is impacted by our stress. When we’re stressed we typically eat poorly and add on the extra sweets and goodies this time of year and it can be easy to fall into a poor diet and not realize how much those fatty, sugary foods are then causing our anxiety and low energy. However, if we can be a little more aware while we indulge in the tasty treats by adding in some other nutrient dense and beneficial foods, we can get ahead and make out body more adaptable and resilient to moments of stress that we can’t control.

So today I am going to dive in to some of the basic, easy and game changing foods that you should be including in your diet so that your body can be more adaptable and not only handle the stress of the holiday season, but also fight off illness/disease and avoid flare ups of gut or irritable bladder, or pelvic pain. We have more control with our health and wellness than we think and our diet is our biggest tool. It can be so hard as a busy active mom running around to have time to eat a balanced and healthy diet. Especially during pregnancy and postpartum when the energy might not be there to make homemade meals. Except this is the most important time to eat healthy because you are growing a human or recovering and healing from birthing a human, which requires alot of nutrients and energy. There are alot of easy and quick things you can do to elevate your snacks and meals to make them work for your mental and physical health and not against it! So make sure to check out todays episode so you can fully understand how every choice you make with your diet and activity is influencing your mental and physical health either for better or worse.

If you resonated with this episode and/or need help with improving your sleep, stress or any pelvic floor/women's health issue like urinary incontinence/leaking, pelvic pain, pain with sex, urgency, heaviness/prolapse or any other back/hip/joint pain let's get you booked for a virtual coaching session or in person physical therapy session for a more individualized plan and one-on-one instructions so you can feel confident in your body and start healing today!!
