Episode Description

Many moms expect their bodies to “bounce back” after having a baby…but months later, odds are they’re still dealing with leaking, pressure, weakness, or discomfort and wondering if this is just how it’s going to be forever? In this episode, I’m joined by Marcy Crouch, DPT, a board-certified women’s health physical therapist and founder of The Down There Doc, to break down what postpartum core and pelvic floor recovery really looks like. We talk about what’s normal, what’s not, and how moms, including those thinking about future pregnancies can start healing their bodies with confidence, even if they’re six months or more postpartum.
