Dr. Meghan Rohde: Persevering Through Life's Challenges and Growing Through Adversity

In this episode of the Brawn Body Health and Fitness Podcast -
Dan is joined by Dr. Meghan Rohde to discuss challenges she has
faced in her personal life and how she uses what has happened to
her to have a positive impact on those around her and be the
"alpha, savage PT" she is known as today.


Meghan is a unique physical therapist and researcher with a
passionate approach to science, medicine, and education for
everyone. She received her undergraduate degree from the
University of Oklahoma in 2002 in Health and Sport Sciences. In
2006, she completed her Master of Physical Therapy, also at the
University of Oklahoma in the Health Sciences Center. Her travels
took her to Cleveland, Ohio, where she was on the rehabilitation
staff at Cleveland Clinic. Convinced she was going to work with
professional athletes forever, the Universe had different plans.
Meghan became the resident expert in the hip and pelvis, soon
seeing exclusively female athletes, many of whom became pregnant
or were postpartum. Have no clue how to work with this
population, she eagerly completed her training in pregnancy and
postpartum physical therapy through the American Physical Therapy
Association Academy of Pelvic Health, the first graduating class
to be awareded the Certificate of Adanced Practice in Pregnancy
and Postpartum Physical Therapy. While in Cleveland, Meghan also
completed her transitional Doctor of Physical Therapy from the
University of Montana. In 2011 she relocated to sunny Arizona,
because you can’t shovel sunshine. After several years in private
practice and honing her pelvic health skills, she received a
faculty appointment at Franklin Pierce University in 2014, where
she continues to serve as an Associate Professor. She completed
her Ph.D. in Human and Sports Performance earlier this year. Her
research examined the prevalence of stress urinary incontinence
in female athletes predominantly involved in the strength sports
of Olympic weightlifting, power lifting, Crossfit, and functional
fitness. Meghan is married to the soul match the Universe gifted
her, Forrest. Together they have a son, Forrest Benjamin, and she
is a bonus mom to Eli, Olivia, and Colin. Meghan continues to
enjoy weightlifting, functional fitness, and is completing her
yoga teacher training through Soul Ascension Healing Arts. Her
integrative approach to women’s health and wellness will help you
change your life. It certainly changed hers.
