Exercise, breathing and the pelvic floor (interview with Julie Wiebe)

Описание: If you want to learn about the pelvic floor, esp as it relates to exercise, then check out this interview with Julie Wiebe.
Julie is a physical therapist from Los Angeles, who has been working in Sports and Women's Health Physical Therapy for almost 20 years. She is super passionate about helping women return to high level sports and other activities, despite a history of incontinence or other pelvic floor symptoms.

In this interview we talk about:
-why some postural changes in pregnancy are NORMAL and when it becomes problematic.
-how posture affects breathing and the pelvic floor
-Julie’s special “ski-jump” trick and how it can be used to get access the pelvic floor
-why breathing is important…(beyond the obvious!)
-what breathing has to do with constipation
why running patterns can have an affect on the pelvic floor and what you can do to change yours if you are leaking
-why doing dead bugs (the exercise!) may not be sports specific enough for you as an athlete and -why we need to think more about exercise prescription
-signs from your body that it isn't coping well with the exercises you are doing (when to seek help)
