194: What to Look for in a Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist with Mindy English, Orthopedic & Pelvic Health PT
Manage episode 485461142 series 2907399
In this episode, I sit down with pelvic floor physical therapist Mindy English to discuss what to look for when seeking a pelvic floor PT. This is a common question we receive, and we wanted to provide a nuanced conversation around it, especially for female athletes who may not realize how interconnected pelvic health is with overall movement, training, and long-term well-being.
We also discuss what to expect in a pelvic floor PT appointment, why it’s critical for practitioners to take a full-body approach, and how pelvic floor therapy can help athletes of all ages—whether they’re dealing with postpartum recovery, leakage during workouts, or long-term pelvic health symptoms.
