TMI Talk with Dr. Mary
Welcome to TMI Talk with Dr. Mary, where we dive into non-traditional forms of health that were once labeled “taboo” or dismissed as “woo.” Dr. Mary is an orthopedic and pelvic floor physical therapist and an Orthopedic Certified Specialist (OCS) who helps health, movement, and rehab professionals integrate whole-body healing by blending the nervous system into traditional biomechanics to maximize patient outcomes. She uses a non-traditional approach that has helped transform countless lives — addressing the deeper roots of health that often get overlooked in conventional Western training. Because the truth is: we can’t teach what we haven’t lived or learned ourselves. —————————— "TMI Talk with Dr. Mary" was previously known as "Sex and Wellness with Dr. Mary" You can learn more about Dr. Mary at drmarygrimberg.com
