Today I talk candidly with Dr. Carrie Pagliano about all things pelvic health and women’s health and fitness. The field of pelvic health and pregnancy and postpartum fitness is evolving. Now is a better time than ever for PTs and Coaches to collaborate and help connect the dots for their clients. More women are in the gym lifting, more are becoming more vocal about core + pelvic health symptoms, and more need our support. We also chat about pelvic organ prolapse and pessaries and when and why to incorporate them into your tool belt for treatment. Pessaries are an excellent option for support for women experiencing pelvic organ prolapse symptoms. Listen for more! More about Carrie: Dr. Carrie J.
