Pelvic Health, Finally Explained with Dr. Kari Roberts

Send us Fan MailPelvic health problems love silence, and they thrive on one dangerous belief: “This is just normal now.” We’re breaking that spell with Dr. Kari Roberts, PT, DPT, a pelvic health specialist and the owner of Marone Pelvic Health in Cobb County, Atlanta. If you’ve ever dealt with urinary leakage when you sneeze, urgency that keeps you mapping bathrooms, constipation you can’t explain, pelvic pain, or changes in sexual function, this conversation gives you clear language for what’s happening and real options for what to do next. We talk through what the pelvic floor is and why it influences bladder control, bowel function, intimacy, and pregnancy and postpartum recovery. Dr. Roberts also explains why pelvic floor physical therapy feels nothing like the typical crowded, gym-style PT clinic. Pelvic PT is private, one-on-one, and designed for sensitive issues that people rarely want to discuss out loud. Then we go straight at the myths. Kegels are not a one-size-fits-all fix, especially when stress, tight muscles, and poor coordination are driving symptoms. Dr. Roberts shares how stress can change pelvic floor function, why tightness can mimic weakness, and why copying random routines online can backfire. We also walk through what to expect at a first visit, including a thorough intake, a head-to-toe assessment, a practical action plan, and how consent and comfort guide everything, including whether any internal assessment happens at all. If this resonates, subscribe, share this episode with someone who needs it, and leave a review so more people can find honest pelvic health information that actually helps.
