While interviewing this week’s guest Lara Worm, I had to get an answer to the question most people ask her: what does Bivouac mean? Turns out, the name says a lot about her cider brand: outdoor-inspired, a little unconventional, rooted in San Diego, and built around the idea that adventure does not always have to be outdoors.

Dr. Ivy Colbert with Empower Physical Therapy described the core like a canister: your diaphragm at the top, your pelvic floor at the bottom, and your abdominal and back muscles around the sides.

We don’t think twice about sending someone to physical therapy after a knee injury, but after birth, so many women are sent home with very little guidance on how to actually recover.🤰🏼Whether someone has a vaginal birth or a C-section, the body has gone through something major, and women deserve more than a quick “see you in six weeks.” Postpartum care should include space to ask questions without feeling dismissed. I got to ask some of those questions in my recent episode with Dr. Ivy Colbert at Empower Physical Therapy is on YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts! #pelvicfloor #pelvicfloortherapy #dpt #womeninpt #physicaltherapy

It is learning from what your body is actually doing! The full episode is live now! #pelvicfloor #pelvicfloortherapy #dpt #womeninpt #physicaltherapy
