WTF Is A Pelvic Floor & How To Strengthen It Ft. Jemila Medley

On this week’s episode, Brittany and Aleen are joined by prenatal
exercise specialist Jemila Medley to talk all about an
under-discussed topic: the pelvic floor. To start, Jemila talks
about what it’s like being a first time mom, getting into
occupational therapy, and how she has helped moms to
improve functional performance through exercise. They break down
what pelvic floor therapy is, how you can benefit from it, and what
to expect at a pelvic floor therapy appointment. She also shares
some practical tips for at-home exercises you can do during
pregnancy to strengthen your pelvic floor. Finally, they tell us
how to identify symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction, and at what
point you might want to see a specialist. Learn more about your ad
