It's time we talked about our pelvic floors | Tania McLean + Melissa Davidson

Did you know that about 50 percent of women will experience a prolapse? We're talking a prolapse of their anterior vaginal wall, or their uterus or bowel starting to come down. And did you know that 34 percent of women experience leakage? But the encouraging news is 70-80 percent of women see significant improvements thanks to pelvic floor physiotherapy! It's pretty mind-blowing that we aren't having more conversations about this part of our body, given how common (and normal) these challenges are. So join me as I speak with Tania McLean and Melissa Davidson, two pelvic floor physiotherapists.  We talk about what to expect at a pelvic floor physiotherapy exam (I went for my first!), risk factors of prolapse, top tips on how to support your pelvic floor and more. Let's normalise this kōrero, aye? Join us! Song credit: Korimako, Performed by Aro, Written by Emily Looker and Charles Looker and published by Songbroker.
