What’s the deal with….
……..pelvic physical therapy?!?!?!
Yes, I’m really going there – “down there” in fact! Ha! I have a close friend who works as a massage therapist at a physical therapy practice, and a few months ago she mentioned that her practice had hired a new Pelvic Physical Therapist. Wait what???? Is that even a real thing??? And of course, within a week after our conversation, it seemed like I kept hearing and reading about Pelvic PT everywhere! So, yes, Pelvic PT is such a real thing that in other countries it’s often a regular part of postpartum care.
So if this helps young women recover postpartum, then why am I sharing this info with 50+ year-old women who follow our blog??? Because this PT could actually be very helpful for a lot of people! For example, here’s a fun fact: approximately 30% of women have some type of urinary incontinence (you know that sneezing, coughing, laughing thing? Yes, that’s incontinence.) And this is something that just gets worse with age. So take a look at my interview with Jessica Klecki, a physical therapist in New Canaan, CT https://performanceoptimalhealth.com/team/jessica-klecki/ and see if Pelvic PT might work for you.
