I'm a pelvic floor PT, and I had my own hysterectomy. Here's what I learned.

I'm a pelvic floor physical therapist. I've helped hundreds of women recover from hysterectomies, myomectomies, and endometriosis surgeries. And then I had my own. In this video I tell you what I knew going in, what still surprised me, and what I'd tell any woman I love before this surgery. Knowing the clinical side and living it are two different things, and that gap is what I built my career around closing for you. What we cover: How I prepared (fitness, strength, pelvic floor, inflammation) and why almost no one is told to do any of it Why recovery is not a straight line, and why a hard day does not mean you failed Why six weeks is not a finish line, and how to think in terms of nine to twelve months The bigger truth about why a wound care sheet and a six-week follow-up are not a real plan FREE RESOURCE Download the free Active Woman's Hysterectomy Readiness Guide, a 5-stage checklist that helps you prepare before surgery and rebuild after: woven.fit/readiness ABOUT WOVEN Woven is a women's health and strength coaching practice specializing in hysterectomy and prolapse repair recovery.
