Pelvic Floor Power Series: Do You Really Need a Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist?

Welcome to the Pelvic Floor Power podcast series! Listen as we talk with women and health care experts to discover the power of your pelvic floor, reduce leaks and restore confidence. Have you ever heard the phrase, "Just do your Kegel exercises and you'll be fine"? Many women hear about these "Kegel exercises," but what do they actually involve? Are simple at home exercises enough to fix urine leaks or is there something more women should be seeking out? In this episode, Dr. Una Lee and Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist, Stephanie Prendergast, talk about how supervised pelvic floor muscle training goes beyond at-home exercises and can benefit women in their journey to fix urine leaks. Urine leaks can happen for many reasons. Maybe you've just had a baby, maybe you're entering menopause, or maybe you've had pelvic trauma at some point in your life. No matter the cause there are ways for women to get help for these symptoms and regain the power of their pelvic floor.
