The Pelvic Pod | Episode 6: Pelvic Health for Pregnancy, Postpartum, and Active Women

In this episode of The Pelvic Pod, we’re talking about pelvic health during pregnancy, postpartum, and for active women including top athletes. Host Jen Bainbridge is joined by Pelvic Health and Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist Becs Dodson for a practical and engaging conversation about how pregnancy, childbirth, and exercise can affect pelvic floor health. Becs shares her expertise on common pelvic health concerns and the importance of seeking support early. We also discuss pelvic health for active women and athletes, including how to recognise when something isn’t quite right, when to seek help, and why pelvic floor symptoms shouldn’t be seen as a normal part of sport, pregnancy, or recovery. The episode reinforces an important message: pelvic health matters at every stage of life, and support is available. 🎧 Find The Pelvic Pod wherever you listen to your podcasts.
