This article is so chock-full of resources that I have bookmarked it! As someone who has not been pregnant ever, but who is graced with lifelong IBS and, recently, Crohn's Disease, I can confirm that what affects one part of this complex system can affect the whooooooole thing. I keep intending to start PT but it's so easy to put off. This was a helpful nudge!
I’ve noticed a huge difference postpartum between my pregnancy before pelvic floor PT and after a pregnancy with lots of PT support. No more leaking and I feel in a much better position overall with the knowledge and strength I’ve gained through paying attention to my pelvic floor!
Pelvic floor PT changed my life (diagnosed with pelvic floor dysfunction at 26 years old). I wish it were available and accessible to all women. At this point it seems like most physicians (and many ob/gyns) aren't familiar with it enough to refer out, and even if they were, there aren't enough providers-- and on top of that, insurance coverage is inconsistent.
