Brief summary of show:
In this episode of the Motherhood Village podcast, I speak with special guest Kathleen 'Kat' Vigo, founder of Painless Pregnancy, discussing her transition to obstetric physical therapy following the birth of her first child in 2012.
She gets into the anatomical mechanics of birth, highlighting the importance of pelvic floor conditioning and its relation to urinary incontinence and urge, especially as it pertains to childbirth. Kat also discusses postpartum sexual health, and how hormonal changes and physical trauma can disrupt sexual function.
She encourages listeners to stay connected to their bodies and advocates for pelvic floor training exercises, both pre and post-partum, to bolster sexual and overall health.
