Ep. 54 Pelvic Health in Motherhood Part 1 with Physiotherapists Alyssa and Meagan

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!
