What if you could break the cycle of generational misinformation about pelvic health? Join us for a powerful conversation with Dr. Courtney Buhrow, an advocate for holistic pelvic care and founder of Revive Physical Therapy and Wellness. Dr. Courtney will share her professional journey and illuminate the importance of pelvic floor health for both men and women. You'll gain insights into common issues like urinary incontinence, sexual health, and the aftermath of traumatic births and learn why it's crucial to normalize these conversations and educate ourselves for better health outcomes.
Amidst the pandemic's chaos, Courtney's second pregnancy took a dramatic turn during what was supposed to be a routine checkup. Hear her story of navigating prenatal appointments during COVID-19 and the sudden need for an emergency C-section. Her experience underscores the psychological and emotional toll of traumatic births and the necessity for robust mental health support for parents. We delve into the often-overlooked emotional aftermath that can persist even when the baby is healthy, emphasizing the need for compassion and validation of these experiences.
Finally, explore practical tips for maintaining pelvic health and intimacy, particularly as women age. This episode is packed with actionable advice, from tools like dilators and pelvic wands to the importance of lubrication and hormonal treatments. We also highlight the significance of pelvic floor exams and share light-hearted anecdotes that bring humor to the sometimes awkward world of sexual health and parenting. Whether you're dealing with postpartum recovery or navigating menopause, this episode is a reminder that prioritizing pelvic health is a lifelong journey.
