29. Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy

A conversation with Christina. Christina has a doctorate in physical therapy (with a pelvic floor specialization) and that topic comprises the bulk of this episode. Our conversation includes some pre-episode banter followed by a discussion of Christina’s background, why Christina went to Marquette, ballet, when Christina knew she wanted to be a physical therapist, Christina’s college experience, vocal fry, what getting a physical therapy degree looks like, sibling order, why Christina wanted to specialize in pelvic floor physical therapy, pelvic floor physical therapy, what makes a good PT, physical therapy during pregnancy, transitioning from school to the work place, cracking your joints, love and pathfinding in your 20s, and Christina’s book recommendations and parting words.  Due to the fact that I don’t record this podcast in a studio, there are sometimes unavoidable noises that happen. Unfortunately, this time there were a lot. Someone in the apartment below us decided to turn on their tv extremely loudly for about half of the recording. I’m sorry if it’s distracting; I fixed it as much as I could. Maybe listen to this in a place with ambient noise rather than a quiet room, if you can. Twinkies are not vegan.
