Ep. 218: Pelvic Floor Isn't Just for Pregnancy: Preventative Tips & At Home Therapy with Dr. Erin Suellentrop, PT, DPT

Have you heard the stereotype of women peeing when they sneeze or laugh as they get older? What's up with that? Can it be prevented? What about pelvic pain, constipation, or tampon discomfort? All of these have one thing in common: pelvic floor health. Notice that the commonality is NOT pregnancy or delivery, like is often believed. Women can have pelvic floor issues, like urinary incontinence, when they are young, unmarried, or have never had biological children. The real question is: what can we do to prevent pelvic floor dysfunction like this? Pelvic floor exercises? Breathing techniques? Therapy? To answer that question and more, we've welcomed Dr. Erin Suellentrop, orthopedic and pelvic floor physical therapist to answer your most asked question!NOTE: This episode may not be appropriate for all audiences as it does reference intercourse.GUEST BIO: Dr. Erin Suellentrop is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and the founder of ADAPT Physical Therapy in Wichita, Kansas, where she specializes in orthopedic and pelvic floor physical therapy. She helps women improve their pelvic floor to feel better in the gym, in the bedroom, and in their daily life.SHOW NOTES:ADAPT Physical Therapy, Wichita, KSEp. 8: Pelvic Floor 101 (Part 1)Ep. 9: Pelvic Floor 101 with Dr. Rachel Moran (Part 2)Send Us a Text!Support the showOther great ways to connect with Woven Natural Fertility Care: Learn the Creighton Model System with us!
