If you’ve ever experienced leaking when you sneeze, pain with intimacy, feelings of heaviness “down there,” or just not feeling like yourself after birth — you’re not alone. And you don’t have to live with it.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Genevieve Richter, pelvic floor physical therapist and owner of Method Physical Therapy, to talk about why pelvic floor care is one of the most powerful tools for postpartum healing.

We cover what really happens to the pelvic floor and core during pregnancy and birth, the most common postpartum changes and symptoms, and what you can do — even years after delivery — to restore your strength, confidence, and quality of life.

In this episode, we discuss:

• What pelvic floor physical therapy is and why it’s important for all postpartum women
• Common postpartum changes like diastasis recti, pelvic floor weakness, and structural shifts
• Urinary incontinence — the different types, and how to prevent or heal them
• Pelvic organ prolapse — what it is, why it’s not as scary as it sounds, and how to reduce symptoms
• How pelvic floor PT can help with mastitis and overproduction
• How to safely return to exercise and daily activities after birth
