Episode 378: Breaking Free from Pelvic Floor Fear

In this episode of the To Birth and Beyond podcast, hosts Jessie Mundell and Anita Lambert discuss the common fears surrounding pelvic floor health, particularly in the context of motherhood. They explore the fear cycle that can develop from experiencing pelvic floor symptoms such as incontinence and pelvic pain, and how this anxiety can lead to avoidance of activities and further deconditioning. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding symptoms as information rather than a sign of weakness, and offers practical strategies for breaking the cycle of fear and managing symptoms effectively.
