8. Pelvic Floor Problems with Emma Brockwell
Manage episode 349080045 series 3264111
This week Dr Suba talks with Emma Brockwell. Emma is a physio who after her own personal experiences with pelvic floor issues dived into the world of pelvic floor health. She is now a pelvic health physio with a specialist interest in helping those returning to running and exercise post-partum and uses her platform, @physiomumUK, to educate on pelvic floor health.
She tells us about her own journey towards pelvic floor health, teaches us how to 1) avoid constipation, which is KEY, and 2) how to actually do pelvic floor exercises. Along the way we chat about how common incontinence and prolapse is, explore the stigma around it and challenge the idea that there’s nothing to be done about leaks and bulges.
In our short, we get stuck into the pelvic mesh scandal, ask why it took so long for women to be listened to and break down the recent long-awaited ‘First Do No Harm’ report by Baroness Cumberlege.
