Episode 51: 5 Things I (Jessica) Do Differently Now as a Pelvic Floor PT (That I Didn’t 10 Years Ago)
Tue Feb 03 2026
In this solo episode, Jessica breaks down how pelvic floor physical therapy has evolved over the past decade — and how that evolution directly impacts postpartum recovery, pelvic pain treatment, and birth preparation. Drawing from updated research, shifting clinical guidelines, and real-world practice changes, this episode covers why outdated “no crunches, only Kegels” thinking no longer holds up, how pregnancy care has expanded, and what truly supports long-term symptom resolution.
In this episode:
🧠 Evidence-based postpartum core rehab
🤰 Internal pelvic floor work during pregnancy
📉 Why biofeedback and isolated Kegels are losing priority
🏋️ Strength training for pelvic pain and tension
🔄 Pressure management over “perfect” core control
🛠 Long-term symptom prevention vs quick fixes
🐦 Bonus bird fact energy
Because pelvic health care shouldn’t stay stuck in 2015 — your recovery deserves better science and better systems.
