The Pelvis Project Podcast

Today’s episode is a fun one, because we’re chatting all things periods and menstrual health! While this is a topic that we’re excited to bring more awareness to, we also know it can feel daunting, and honestly, something we put off talking about with our daughters for as long as possible. As a mom (Megan) whose daughter recently started her period for the first time, it really hit home the critic...

We’re excited to be wrapping up our fourth and final episode in our hands-on fertility treatment series!  Today’s episode is going to cover more of what you would expect in a typical session with us - the hands-on work, and more specifically, visceral mobilization techniques. As seasoned pelvic health physical therapists, we’ve learned how crucial proper mobility is when it comes to particular org...

Today’s episode will be part three in our hands-on fertility treatment series, and we’re diving deep into the fascinating world of the menstrual cycle! While the menstrual cycle and menstrual health may not be exciting topics for most, this is VITAL information all women need to know (regardless of the stage of life you’re in, or whether or not you’re on a fertility journey). Your period is your 5...

Today’s episode will be part two in our hands-on fertility treatment series, as we’re continuing on with what we’ve learned in our pelvic rehab fertility specialist certification! Two key topics we want to dive more into is the endocrine system (aka all things hormone health), and nutrition. There really is such an intricate relationship between hormone health, nutrition, and fertility, and we wan...

We enjoyed our little break over the last month, but are very excited to be back on the podcast again! We’re both navigating some big changes in our lives, and are continually learning the importance of ‘recharging our batteries’ when it comes to our health and well-being. One of the new and exciting things that we’re both in the middle of currently is a pelvic rehab fertility certification course...

It’s hard to believe, but we’ve officially been podcasting for 6 months now - it’s been pretty incredible! Today’s episode is going to be a bit of a wrap-up for now though. We’re excited to be giving ourselves a little break as we focus on rebranding, and some other fun projects we have in the works for the Pelvis Project over the next month.  We’re also chatting more about the very REAL struggles...

When you’re returning to exercise after any kind of major life change (i.e. having a baby and in postpartum), and you’re experiencing some type of pelvic floor dysfunction, it can feel very defeating. We often hear from our patients (who are in all different health and fitness stages), that they feel like they’re doing all of the ‘right things’, but their pelvic floor issues aren’t improving..they...

Something that we hear often from patients in our in-person practices is the topic surrounding the pelvic floor internal assessment. Usually, people don’t know what’s actually involved with this type of assessment, or, they may come in with preconceived notions of what it’s going to be like. We treat our patients very similarly in our hands-on practices, and we really just want to provide more ins...

We’re feeling a littttle (or more like a LOT) spicy about the topic we’re diving into today, which is..pelvic floor tightness! Women often feel so much pressure in the postpartum period - especially when it comes to ‘tightening’ up our pelvic floor, and getting it back to what it was like before pregnancy, giving birth, etc. There seems to be an idea that the ‘tighter’ the pelvic floor, the better...

We’re back with our part 2 episode featuring Lauren Scafe, and today’s episode is going to be a candid Q&A style! We received quite a few questions after posting a question box on social media, so we thought it would be fun to dive into them and share all of our perspectives here. We’re digging into questions relating to fleeting moments of low desire (why this may be happening), feeling the n...

We’re diving into allll things sex and sex therapy for today’s episode with a dynamite guest, Lauren Scafe!  Lauren is an LMSW and BSN-RN with a passion for educating people and normalizing the conversation about issues like sex, mental health, motherhood, and so much more. As a wife and mother of 4, she knows firsthand just how hard the transition into motherhood can be, and she’s dedicated her l...

We’re talking with Paige Genova, a licensed occupational therapist specializing in pelvic floor therapy, all about whole-person wellness in pelvic health. Paige is a fellow mama, clinician, and business owner/founder of Vital Pelvic Health. We first connected with her through a business mentorsh...

It’s the most wonderful time of the year..we’re in the thick of the holiday season! While this time of year can be beautiful and magical, it can also feel hectic and stressful for many. For our final episode of 2024 (can’t believe we’re saying that), we thought it would be fun to share some tips to help you with surviving the holiday hustle, no matter what you’ve got going on. In this episode, we’...

We wanted to segue off of what we talked about in our last episode (all about constipation) into another important topic that isn’t talked about enough - tailbone pain. This is something that’s literally a ‘pain in the butt’, and just like constipation..it needs to be addressed! Since being in the pelvic health field, we’ve learned that tailbone pain (the anatomical term is coccydynia) is somethin...

As pelvic floor therapists, one of the things we really love to talk about is..pooping!  Even though it might sound a bit silly, the topic of constipation and struggling with regular bowel movements is something that comes up often with our patients. Constipation affects millions of people in our society, and many people tend to think it’s just something they will deal with forever. This is someth...

Have you ever wondered what exactly happens during a pelvic health evaluation? Like..what types of questions will your provider be asking you, what all is ‘appropriate’ to share with your provider, and what the conversation truly entails?  We thought it would be helpful to dive into everything you can expect to talk about during an initial pelvic health consultation, as well as what follow-up visi...

We’re excited to talk more about pelvic floor therapy, and specifically, utilizing pelvic floor therapy during pregnancy. This is something that comes up often with patients in our clinics, and one of the most common questions we get asked is when is the best time to start pelvic floor therapy. While there’s no ‘magic’ time that will be best for everyone, starting pelvic floor therapy sooner (rath...

In today’s episode, we’re diving into a topic we LOVE to talk about - pelvic health! We’re covering all things pelvic health and wellness, like what pelvic rehabilitation is, what makes up the pelvic floor, how the pelvic floor connects with and works with other major parts of our anatomy, and more. We hear plenty of myths surrounding pelvic health and pelvic floor dysfunction on a regular basis,...

In today’s episode, you’ll get to learn more about Megan and who she is as a person, her decision to pursue the field of physical therapy (and eventually, pelvic health specifically), the story of her and Roxi meeting, her journey as a business owner, and more.

Hey there - are SO excited to have our podcast out into the world, and we are honored to have you here with us!

Hey there - welcome to the Pelvis Project Podcast! We are beyond excited to be starting this podcast - it has been a dream of ours for awhile, and now it’s FINALLY happening!  As pelvic floor physical therapists, we’ve continued to see a need to educate and help more people when it comes to their pelvic health - especially women. We’re excited to dive more into topics that aren’t being talked abou...
