Insights from Dr. Courtney Johnson, the Female Athlete Doctor | Pelvic Health and Pregnancy
This week Katie had the privilege of meeting with Dr. Courtney Johnson, also known as the Female Athlete Doctor. She is a doctor of physical therapy who specializes in pelvic health, women’s health, particularly in general active women in all walks of life, such as women in pregnancy, postpartum, or women who are diagnosed with some sort of pelvic floor dysfunction. Courtney helps women be active again and get back on their feet, which is often where these issues usually occur or originate from.
What Dr. Courtney is all about 0:50
Pregnant women 4:50
The benefits of doing this while pregnant 7:20
Helping athletes to relax for birth 12:00
Working with C-section women 16:00
“When you think of a sports team, a sports team has everything and a coach for everything. For every position in a football team. They have a recovery squad, an athletic trainer, they have a doctor on staff, they have a physical therapist, so we should approach pregnancy and postpartum with the same mindset. Who is on your team? I know when that time comes for me, I’m gonna have X-Y-Z all lined up and I’ll be ready to go.” 11:10 thefemaleathletedpt.com @thefemaleathletedoc
