If you're doing "all the things" — kegels, breathwork, core workouts, even YouTube rehab videos — and still struggling with pelvic floor symptoms, this episode is your permission slip to stop trying to figure it out alone.

In this episode of The Pelvic Floor, Core & More Podcast, Dr. Desiree Cassell, Pelvic Health PT and creator of the RESTORE program, walks you through the most common signs it's time to seek out professional pelvic floor therapy and why waiting only makes it harder. From leaking and pelvic pressure to persistent pain and plateauing with progress, she shares the body’s signals that it's time for a deeper level of support.

Whether you're postpartum, navigating prolapse or pain, or just don’t feel strong or connected in your core — there’s no shame in asking for help. You deserve real answers, customized care, and freedom in your body again.

🔎 In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why so many women delay or avoid seeing a pelvic floor PT
  
  

• The signs that kegels, apps, or general fitness programs aren’t enough
  
  

• How pain, pressure, leaking or plateaus are your body’s red flags
  
  

• Why DIY’ing pelvic health may be doing more harm than good
  
  

• How to know whether RESTORE or a 1:1 session is right for you
