The Pelvic Floor PT, Dr. Erin Motola, On Ways To Improve Your Pelvic Floor Health For Better Digestion, Pregnancy & Sex

The Goodwin Social

Your pelvic floor is responsible for supporting your abdomen and pelvis, bladder and bowel movements, and sexual function, so why isn’t it more commonly discussed? I’m joined by pelvic floor therapist Dr. Erin Motola to dive into all the taboo subjects surrounding pelvic floor health, including how to break bad bladder habits, improve your sex life, and confidently recover from pregnancy.

Erin walks us through proper breathing techniques and other exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor and bring more awareness into that area of the body. She also shares advice for how to take care of your pelvic floor before and after giving birth, and lets us know exactly how she’s been strengthening and lengthening her pelvic floor during her pregnancy.

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:

• The anatomy of the pelvic floor and it’s three main functions

• Signs of a weak or overactive pelvic floor

• The link between constipation and an overactive pelvic floor

• Tools to release tension in your pelvic floor and reduce pain during sex

• What Erin covers in her 6-week postpartum guide
