113. Fascia, Muscles, & Movement: Educating Yourself About Your Postpartum Body with Greta Wyeth

Our bodies are AMAZING! And not just because they can grow and sustain babies but because of how they work. This conversation with Greta Wyeth will leave you feeling very appreciative of all your body can do. One of Greta’s many missions is to help women educate themselves about their bodies so they can clearly communicate and get the help they need. She goes about this in a really interesting way.

I WANT to know more about my body and muscles and movement and fascia—not out of obligation, but out of pure curiosity & empowerment! Fascia is a buzz word right now, and for great reasons! Greta shares with us what it is, what it does, what it looks like, and shares recent discoveries about its role in the body. But first she walks us through self-education, our physical body, muscle function, re-educating our pelvic floor, movement (like Pilates) and helps us understand more about ourselves so by the time we cover fascia, it just “clicks.” Greta’s Bio: Greta Wyeth is a Nationally Certified and STOTT Certified Pilates Teacher who is rooted in science and dedicated to the inter-relatedness of form and function in the human body.
