Episode 45: Prevention is Possible

Have you been told that your health concern can’t be prevented from getting worse?  That you just have to wait for your issue to be bad enough so you can qualify for medication or treatment for it?  Do you feel like your family history of a health concern automatically means that you’ll have to deal with that issue too?  Don’t believe it! Prevention is possible with your health - please don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!  Listen to Kumbay’all episode 45 for examples and encouragement to put effort into preventing health concerns. It’s easy to want to put off what isn’t on fire right now, but attending to your body’s whispers means you save yourself the pain and headache of waiting for it to yell. #KnowledgeIsPower and #PelvicHealthIsWealth About Amanda: Amanda Shipley, PT, DPT, MTC is a pelvic physical therapist in Atlanta, GA with more than 15 years of experience helping patients prevent and heal pelvic floor issues.
