In this episode, Laura sits down with Dr. Sherri Lorraine for an interview FILLED with lightbulb moments. They dive into all things pelvic floor, from what you can do preconception and during pregnancy to help with pelvic floor recovery in the postpartum period, to rehabilitation tools, and plenty of sex talk. Just wait till you hear about the 30 second rule. If you have a pelvic floor (you do), this episode is for YOU!

There’s a ton of amazing pelvic / women’s heath PTs out there who treat women during pregnancy & postpartum. There’s probably a great, qualified PT near you… she shared quality advice & I’m so glad it’s being talked about. I am all about empowering women. But these are things being taught & accepted within the pelvic PT community so I’m not sure why she doesn’t think many others do this?! Unfortunately, I think it was a huge diservice to not share right away in the beginning how to find a PT near you:

I’m a pelvic PT in rural, northern WI and even in my little area there’s multiple qualified PTs within an hour radius.
