Dr. Emily McElrath is the owner of Dynamix Physical Therapy in Mandeville, LA., specializing in orthopedics and pelvic floor physical therapy. Dr. Jenny Porter specializes in pelvic floor physical therapy for men, women, and children with bladder, bowel, sexual, and pain dysfunctions. She also specializes in pregnancy and postpartum care.
In this episode, we dove deep into what pelvic floor physical therapy is and how it uniquely addresses postpartum care, endometriosis, painful intercourse, vaginismus, hormonal birth control, and even male infertility! If you’ve heard that it involves “internal work” and that has made you nervous in the past, don’t worry - it isn’t always needed, and if it is, it is the goal of these therapists to make you feel as comfortable as possible. Drs. Emily and Jenny address this concern sensitively and explain how it is licit, if needed.
