Today’s episode topic is one of our favorites to discuss, and one of the biggest reasons as to WHY we started our podcast: imperfect wellness. Wellness isn’t about striving for ‘perfection’, but rather, embracing balance, self-compassion, and realistic goals in our mental, physical, and emotional health. Even though NOBODY is perfect, it can be sup…

In Episode 52, when Jim expressed interest in the new 1/16th-scale Gecko Models Universal Carrier kit, Barry suggested a “buddy build,” with each of them tackling the beast—something he now regrets. This episode is devoted to their ongoing frustrations with the build (and, for Jim, some fun, too). Although Barry initially suggested the idea, he lat…

Today’s episode isn’t the *most* exciting topic to talk about (especially if it’s something you’ve experienced personally), but it’s a big one! Pelvic organ prolapse (commonly referred to as ‘prolapse’), is often misunderstood. Prolapse can feel like a ‘scary’ word..but it doesn’t have to be a scary reality for you! In today’s conversation, we’re t…

Today’s episode topic is one that’s cropped up quite a bit recently for both of us, so we knew we had to dive into it here! In today’s episode, we’re discussing why one pelvic floor visit isn’t enough, and the importance of consistent care. We’re sometimes asked if coming in for *one* visit and doing the follow-up care on your own will work, but th…

Our main focus for today’s episode is painful intercourse - specifically, the conditions known as vaginismus and dyspareunia.

Fortunately, vaginismus and dyspareunia are very treatable, bu…

When you think of pelvic floor therapy, chances are you also think of stress urinary incontinence (aka urinary ‘leakage’). This is probably the most widely-known (and definitely most common) issue associated with pelvic floor therapy, and it’s something we are very familiar with as pelvic floor therapists! Unfortunately, there are quite a few myths…

Today’s episode is a fun one, because we’re chatting all things periods and menstrual health! While this is a topic that we’re excited to bring more awareness to, we also know it can feel daunting, and honestly, something we put off talking about with our daughters for as long as possible. As a mom (Megan) whose daughter recently started her period…

When you’re returning to exercise after any kind of major life change (i.e. having a baby and in postpartum), and you’re experiencing some type of pelvic floor dysfunction, it can feel very defeating. We often hear from our patients (who are in all different health and fitness stages), that they feel like they’re doing all of the ‘right things’, bu…

Something that we hear often from patients in our in-person practices is the topic surrounding the pelvic floor internal assessment. Usually, people don’t know what’s actually involved with this type of assessment, or, they may come in with preconceived notions of what it’s going to be like. We treat our patients very similarly in our hands-on prac…

We’re feeling a littttle (or more like a LOT) spicy about the topic we’re diving into today, which is..pelvic floor tightness! Women often feel so much pressure in the postpartum period - especially when it comes to ‘tightening’ up our pelvic floor, and getting it back to what it was like before pregnancy, giving birth, etc. There seems to be an id…

We’re back with our part 2 episode featuring Lauren Scafe, and today’s episode is going to be a candid Q&A style!
