Hypermobility and the Pelvic Floor with Dr. Brooke Winder

Описание: What can professional dancers, aerialists, and circus performers teach everyday moms about hypermobility, pelvic floor health, and long-term strength? A lot more than you think.

In this episode of the Active Mom Podcast, I’m joined by Dr. Brooke Winder, physical therapist and Associate Professor at California State University Long Beach, where she leads the Dance Science program and works with artistic athletes to optimize health, performance, and injury resilience.

We break down:
✅ Hypermobility decoded — what it really means for your joints and movement patterns
✅ End-range strength — building stability where you’re most flexible
✅ Pelvic floor challenges in dancers, aerialists, and circus performers
✅ High-tone pelvic floor — how to release, reset, and improve function
✅ Real-life applications — from elite performers to moms chasing toddlers

Whether you’re an artistic athlete, a former dancer or gymnast, or a mom navigating postpartum recovery with a hypermobile body, you’ll walk away with actionable tips to keep your body strong, stable, and symptom-free through every stage of life.
