Pelvic floor therapy is not just for one stage of life, one symptom, or one type of woman. In this week’s new episode of More Precious Than Rubies, Dr. Ivy Colbert of Empower Physical Therapy explains how pelvic floor therapy can support women navigating pelvic pain, painful periods, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, pelvic organ prolapse, and more. I hope this episode encourages you to not normalize pain or discomfort, when there may actually be help available! The full episode is live now on YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts! #pelvicfloor #pelvicfloortherapy #dpt #womenshealth #physicaltherapy

Pelvic floor physical therapy is something many women have heard of, but few of us were actually taught to understand. In this episode of More Precious Than Rubies, I sat down with Dr. Ivy Colbert, founder of Empower Physical Therapy in Rancho Bernardo. In this episode, you'll learn what pelvic floor PT is, who it can help, and why symptoms like leaking, pelvic pain, pressure, constipation, postpartum discomfort, or trouble connecting to your core should not be ignored. We'll even show you some exercises you can do at home to strengthen your pelvic floor!
