Manage episode 367322931 series 3473134
There is no denying our bodies are different postpartum, especially down there! For some reason, though, society expects us to pop out a baby and bounce back like nothing happened. On the other hand, doctors and physical therapists tell us we can't lift over 25 pounds or should never do crunches again. Both of these are unrealistic AF, so what the hell are we supposed to do?!
Dr. Carrie Pagliano is a pelvic floor physical therapist specializing in women's health for nearly 25 years. She's a double board-certified clinical specialist in orthopedics and women's health and served as president of the Academy of Pelvic Health Physical Therapy.
