While you wait… podcast

with Dr. Sarah Boyles

I’ve compiled insightful clips from interviews with three leading pelvic floor physical therapists. The focus is on the benefits of pelvic floor physical therapy, with the first clip featuring MJ Strauhal discussing what to expect in the initial therapy visit and the importance of a therapeutic relationship. Prof. Chantale Dumoulin from the University of Montreal emphasizes the effectiveness of pelvic floor exercises, the advantages of group training, and the importance of starting therapy early. Finally, Kari Bo from Norway discusses the specifics of pelvic floor strength training, the impact of high-impact exercises, and recommendations for pelvic floor training during pregnancy. The episode underscores the significance of individualized treatment plans and the benefits of group and one-on-one sessions.
