In this episode of the Hey There Thrivival podcast, host Emily Haigh interviews Jo Murdoch, a highly accredited pelvic health physio and multi-location physio owner who is also studying medicine and raising two daughters. They discuss the complexities of the female body, particularly during and after pregnancy, and emphasise the significance of preventive care. Special attention is given to common symptoms and solutions for twin or multiple birth mothers, to help them achieve much better outcomes.
Jo shares detailed insights on how pelvic health physios can assist pregnant and postpartum women, including pre-pregnancy assessments, pelvic floor functionality, and the management of conditions like pelvic girdle pain and abdominal wall separation. They highlight the importance of seeking early intervention to optimise health outcomes and reduce future complications, such as incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse. The conversation is filled with practical tips and personal experiences, aiming to educate and encourage women and their partners to prioritize pelvic health.
