Ep 17: When Your Pelvic Floor Won’t Let Go. What your Physio wishes you knew about your diaphragm, a good poo and the core. With Caz Berry, Pelvic Physio

If you've got pelvic pain, you probably know it's not just about the endometriosis lesions. But did you know how much your muscles are contributing to your symptoms?Pelvic health physio Caz Berry is back to explain the anatomy that matters. She's brought her pelvis model and she's not afraid to use it.In this episode, we're covering the three things Caz wishes every patient knew before walking into her clinic: understanding your core (spoiler: it's not about abs), why breathing actually matters for pelvic pain, and yes—how to poo properly.Caz explains why that "just breathe" advice isn't a brush-off, why pushing on the toilet is working against you, and why that deep stabbing pain might not be your ovary at all—it could be a cranky hip muscle called the obturator internus.We also get into the nitty gritty: tight activewear as a pain trigger, why sitting with your knees together isn't helping, and how trauma and stress literally change what's happening in your pelvis.Practical, honest, and genuinely useful information for anyone dealing with pelvic pain, endometriosis, or bowel and bladder issues.
