Episode 53: Physical Therapist Kristin Sapienza on What You Need To Know About Your Pelvic Floor

Apr 27, 2020

I am really excited to share this information-rich podcast with you. I am chatting with Kristin Sapienza, a licensed physical therapist and the founder of FemFirstHealth. Kristin specializes in customizing treatment plans for each of her patients with a special focus on women’s health, specifically treating pelvic floor dysfunction.

 

My chat with Kristin offers so many awesome takeaways, but here are a few of my favorites:

•     Though pelvic floor dysfunction is often associated with childbirth, many people – men and women -- have a tight pelvic floor and could benefit from physical therapy.
•     We’re often conditioned to think that it’s ok to “deal with the pain” stemming from pelvic floor issues, but the reality is that you don’t have to live with discomfort.
•     Pilates, yoga and swimming are really helpful in regaining functional strength in your pelvic floor and supporting your body’s overall strength.
•     Because it’s good to have constant change in your body’s movements, diversifying your exercises is a key to good health.
•     Healthy living means allowing yourself to recharge your batteries at least once a week.
