Do you even THINK about your pelvic health? Many of us don't; UNTIL something goes awry. And get this - leaking urine after giving birth is NOT normal!
Today on the show I speak with Teresa Luu, a Toronto-based physiotherapist specializing in women's health. Teresa has experience assessing and treating a broad range of clients from paediatrics to geriatrics; but developed a true passion for working in women’s health and now focuses on helping pregnant and post part persons improve their pelvic floor health
Today we talk about
- Why pelvic floor health SO important to consider when planning to become pregnant
- Why she thinks so many people dismiss this area of pre-post natal care
- What she sees common while treating second time mamas who didn't consider pelvic floor PT the first time around
- What women of "advanced maternal age" can do to support their pelvic floor health in pregnancy/post partum?
- And what is common but NOT normal when it comes to pelvic floor health!
