Your pelvic floor impacts everything, from core strength, posture, and digestion to sex, hormones, and even your confidence. Yet most women never think about it until something goes wrong. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Amy Osborne to uncover the truth about pelvic floor health and why it matters for every woman, not just those who are pregnant or postpartum.We dive into the common signs of dysfunction, why many women have an overactive or weak pelvic floor without even realizing it, and the everyday habits that could be silently sabotaging your strength and comfort. You’ll also learn expert strategies you can start using immediately to support your pelvic floor, reduce pain, prevent leaks, and feel stronger from the inside out.Whether you’ve experienced symptoms or just want to optimize your body, this episode is a must-listen!ABOUT OUR GUESTDr. Amanda (“Amy”) Osborne is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and the founder of Apto Physical Therapy & Wellness in Wheat Ridge, Colorado — a multidisciplinary clinic dedicated to bridging the gap between orthopedic rehab, pelvic health, strength training, and integrative wellness.With a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience and a Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Northwestern University, Amy brings more than a decade of specialized experience in pelvic floor rehabilitation.
