Join Erin and Michelle as they talk about everything pelvic floor with Dr. Jenn Joslyn. Dr. Jenn is a dear friend and colleague at Motion in Minnetonka and St. Paul, Minnesota. Dr. Jenn specializes in treating individuals having pelvic health conditions. Our pelvic floor is another muscle group that helps us with many different functions and is often overlooked. It helps us poop, pee, breathe, have sex, stabilize our body - so many things! And it is just like any other muscle group in our body - it can hold tension. With the prevalence of emotional and physical trauma in the world, we can often have unknown tension here.
Join us to learn more about what this awesome muscle group does, how to find it and not only contract it (it’s not all about the kegel) but also lengthen and relax those muscles, common misconceptions, what pelvic floor physical therapy is, and as always how to be your best advocate. We want to normalize this conversation in our community as it is often an area of our body we don’t talk about or even know exists - so let’s get talking and stay curious about our bodies!
