Happy (almost) Mother's Day, listeners! Today we meet Emily, a Physical Therapist who recently opened her own practice. We learn what inspired her to move from a specialization in orthopedics to focusing mainly on pelvic health. In this episode, Emily busts so many myths of what we think is normal before, during and after birth. Her words give hope to so many women who thought things like "thats just how it is after having a baby." In Part I of this two-part chat, you'll learn what PT is all about, what to expect during an appointment, and how to find the right practitioner to work with. Tune in next week to hear all about the Emily's experience of opening her own practice 6 months ago.
