In this episode, Mandy and Gillian welcome Doctor of Physical Therapy Tina Patti, a mother herself who specializes in pelvic floor therapy helping her patients with a variety of pelvic floor issues from diastasis recti, urinary incontinence, pelvic pain and sexual dysfunction.  In this episode, Tina explains the importance of addressing these issues and dispels the misconception that they are a normal part of aging or childbirth.  The ladies discuss the importance of posture, hip strength, and abdominal muscles and how they play a role in pelvic floor health, core strength and even glute development!  You will learn how kegel exercises can be effective for strengthening the pelvic floor, but since it is important to do them correctly, you’ll also learn some tips and tricks to help you benefit from this exercise.   We know you’ll find humor in this fun episode- and if you laugh so hard you pee, you definitely need to listen through to the end!  Make sure to rate, subscribe, and leave us reviews on how much this podcast has helped you 💕We’d love to hear from you about future topics you would like us to discuss so please leave us a comment or reach out to us with your questions and suggestions!Contact our guest, Tina Patti, DPT Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tina.patti.3/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tina.pattistl/Website: https://pelvicrehab.com/practitioner/tina-patti-dpt/Perifit Device- Pelvic Floor Video Game Device: https://www.perifit.coAbout Momshell Method Fitness:Ready to embark on your fitness journey?  We would love to help you reach any fitness goal from losing the baby weight to crushing your competition goals!  Follow this link to schedule a discovery call with one of our team members and learn how Momshell Method Fitness can provide you with the tools you need to be successful with customized nutrition and training plans for busy moms → http://bit.ly/loseweightgetsexyContact your hosts:Mandy Rochon Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/mandyrochonfit/ Facebook: Mandy RochonGillian Hughes, IFBB Bikini ProInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/gillianhughes_momshell/Facebook: Gillian HughesMandy’s Posing Sessions1:1 In Person (KC Posing Studio) →  https://bit.ly/inpersonposingwithmandy1:1 Virtual Posing → https://bit.ly/virtualposingwithmandyPosing with Gillian Hughes, IFBB Bikini Pro1:1 In Person (St Louis Posing Studio) → https://bit.ly/stlposingwithgillianifbbpro1:1 Virtual Posing → https://bit.ly/virtualposingwithgillianifbbproNuethyx Formulations Supplements → https://nuethix.com/(Use code “Momshell” to save 10% off your order)Toxic Angelz Bikinis → https://toxicangelzbikinis.com (Use code “GILLIAN” or code “MANDY”  to save 15% off your order)MISAJO Sports —> https://shopsiham.com/collections/workout(Use code “GILLIAN10” to save 10% off your order)Squeeze Me Skinny Waist Trainers → https://www.squeezmeskinny.com (Use code “MOMSHELL” to save 10% off your order)The Shoe Fairy competition heels → https://www.shoefairyofficial.com (Use code “momshell” to save 15% off your order)Labwork and Personalized Recommendations:  Practitioner Depot: https://bit.ly/practitionerdepotxmomshell (Use code “momshell” to save 5% off your order)Our Amazon storefront- fitness outfits, more supplements, beauty items and competition needs → https://amzn.to/46GL1nd
