Your Pelvic Floor Should NOT be Embarrassing! :: with Jocelyn Bohnet, MPT in Women's Health [Ep. 4]

Self Care Simplified

I'm chatting with Jocelyn Bohnet today, a women's health physical therapist that specializes in all things pelvic floor health: urinary and fecal incontinence, pain with intercourse, pelvic organ prolapse, tearing during delivery, and other pelvic issues. In this episode, we cover so much ground! We discuss:

• Pelvic floor muscles and general anatomy
• Bladder leakage
• Pain with intercourse
• How to do a proper kegel, how many, and when
• Abdominal pressure and posture
• When to see a pelvic PT
• Tearing, prolapse, "queefing"
• And so much more!

Jocelyn says, "God made our bodies, God made our pelvic floor, and God made sex to be wonderful...And we need to not be afraid to talk about an issue in our pelvic floor region just like we're not afraid to talk about neck pain."

Stick in your headphones for this one...we get personal!
