Hey there, welcome to the NorthStar Physical Therapy podcast!  

I am your host, Dr. Shirlea North and I dive into lymphedema, lipedema, and various pelvic health dysfunctions. My goal is to provide to you a better way to understand these conditions so that you empower yourself with knowledge to advocate for yourself. Let NorthStar Physical Therapy guide and navigate you on your journey to optimal health!

In this episode, I dive into the importance of proper sitting posture and how it impacts our daily lives. From work and driving to toileting, menstrual device usage, and even sexual positions, sitting plays a crucial role in our overall health.

Let’s discuss:

  • Introduction to today’s topic
