The Friendly Moms Club | Self-care for modern moms - Ep. 54 Pelvic Health in Motherhood Part 1 with Physiotherapists Alyssa and Meagan
play

08/26/24 • 39 min

Join Jen and Karlee as they speak with Pelvic Health Physiotherapists Alyssa and Meagan from Bump Physio. This is Part 1 of our conversation where we will talk about what is pelvic health, what to expect during a first visit, if you have to have an internal exam and some tools and treatments you can expect. As physiotherapists, Alyssa and Meagan work with all parts of the body but this episode we specifically speak about pelvic health. Pelvic Health has historically been a topic that many women didn't feel comfortable speaking about and we are hoping to help bring a little bit of light into this important area of women's health! Jen also speaks about her own personal experiences with vaginismus, vulvodynia, endometriosis, and interstitial cystitis. It took her years to be able to speak about these problems but it has been freeing for her to hear others experiences and hopefully this episode will do the same for some of you. Tune into episode 55 for the rest of our conversation!

Join Jen and Karlee as they talk about Matrescence. You may be wondering, what the heck does that mean? Well we will tell you and talk about our matrescence journeys.

As promised during the episode - we looked into whether or not this was in the dictionary and its a bit tricky of an answer. Although the word was coined in the 1970's it wasn't officially recognized (and added into SOME dictionaries) until 2022.

Join Jen and Karlee as they talk about what they learned over the year, things they didn't expect, new emotions/struggles and how the transition back to work went.
