If you've ever been told that leaking when you laugh, lingering aches, painful intercourse, or simply "not feeling like yourself" after having a baby is just part of motherhood...this episode is for you.
This week, I'm joined by pelvic floor physical therapist and owner of Louisiana Pelvic Health, Dr.Melissa Thompson, for an eye opening conversation about the physical toll motherhood takes on our bodies and why so many women are silently suffering with issues that they don't have to just deal with.
Melissa shares her own journey of searching for answers to unresolved pain, how discovering pelvic floor physical therapy completely changed her life, and why it ultimately inspired her to build a practice dedicated to helping women find relief.
In this episode, we talk about:
• What the pelvic floor actually does and why it matters
• Common symptoms that are often dismissed as "normal" after pregnancy and childbirth
• Why kegels aren't always the answer (and can sometimes make things worse)
• How breathing, movement, and individualized treatment can make a huge difference
• The surprising connection between constipation and pelvic floor dysfunction
• My own experience as one of Melissa's patients and the improvements I've already seen with my rib flare and pelvic floor related symptoms
Melissa also opens up about learning to let go of perfectionism, creating healthier time boundaries, and accepting that success sometimes looks different in different seasons of motherhood.
Whether you're a new mom, years postpartum, or simply wondering if the symptoms you've been living with are actually treatable, this conversation is your reminder that you don't have to be part of the "wounded moms club."
Your body deserves care, too.
