16 | Transformative Self Care from a PT's Perspective (Strategies that Stick)

Episode Summary: In this episode we dive deep into self-care routines that genuinely transform your health and well-being. Self-care goes beyond the quick fixes and spa days – it’s about building routines that make a long-term impact. Today, I’m sharing a physical therapist’s perspective on three key self-care strategies that will make you feel more connected, balanced, and resilient:

Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy – Discover why caring for your pelvic floor muscles can improve everything from core strength to lower back health, especially if you’re postpartum.
Regular Exercise – Understand how building a consistent, manageable exercise routine (even just 15-20 minutes a day) can reduce stress, increase strength, and improve mental clarity.
Eating Nutritious Foods & Key Vitamins – Learn about the essential nutrients, foods, and vitamins that fuel your body’s recovery, enhance muscle health, and support energy levels. AND learn about why I am loving NEEDED's prenatal/perinatal products to support my own fertility and motherhood journey.

Whether you’re just beginning to prioritize self-care or looking for ways to deepen your existing routines, this episode provides actionable insights and tips to start feeling your best, one day at a time.
