In this compilation episode, I’m bringing together insights from four experts to explore pelvic floor health during pregnancy and postpartum.

Pelvic floor physical therapist Julie Wiebe, DPT shares a broader perspective on how the pelvic floor works as part of the entire movement system and why pressure management matters for athletes, both male and female, at every stage of life.

Dr. Alexis Morgan and Dr. Christina Prevett discuss what current research says about CrossFit, exercise, and pelvic floor function during pregnancy, helping separate evidence from common misconceptions.

Lisa Kozian Ryan offers practical guidance on training during pregnancy, recovering postpartum, and healing diastasis recti while building strength and confidence along the way.

Together, these conversations provide evidence-based education and empowering strategies to help women stay active, resilient, and informed throughout pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and beyond.
