À propos de cet audio

The podcast where nervous system healing meets pelvic floor rehab. Helping you LOVE movement again and LIVE WITHOUT PAIN, PRESSURE or PEEING YOUR PANTS!

I’m Dr. Desiree Cassell — pelvic floor physical therapist, mom of 3, and your guide to embodied, empowered healing after birth. (And don’t worry, you don’t have to have birthed a child or even be a mom to benefit from this show. This is here for ALL Women, mom or not, Fit or Weak)

Here, we go way beyond kegels.

You’ll learn how to:
💫 Heal pelvic floor symptoms like leaking (incontinence), prolapse (POP), and pain (Dyspareunia, Vulvodynia etc)
💫 Rebuild core strength without making symptoms worse
💫 Move through pregnancy and postpartum with confidence and connection
💫 Use breath, fascia, and nervous system tools for real, full-body restoration
💫 Shift from surviving to thriving in your body — all during your daily routine

After healing my own prolapse, leaking, and diastasis (that no one warned me about), I made it my mission to make sure no woman is brushed off or left behind again.

Because these symptoms might be common — but they are NOT normal.

🎧 Subscribe for real-talk, expert support, and soul-led strategies to feel strong, safe, and free in your body again.

It is time to get you out of those pads and back to loving movement again.... yes even jumping on the trampoline.

Put your earbuds in, grab a glass of water, roll out your mat, and let’s connect💫

  • 128- 10 Everyday Habits That Can Cause Pelvic Heaviness and Prolapse… Or Make It Worse

    128- 10 Everyday Habits That Can Cause Pelvic Heaviness and Prolapse… Or Make It Worse
    Sep 8 2025

    Have you ever felt heaviness, pressure, or bulging “down there” and wondered if it’s prolapse… or worried about making it worse? You are not alone, mama. 💛

    Prolapse is common, but not normal — and most women are never told how their everyday habits can either support healing or put more strain on their pelvic floor.

    In this episode of Pelvic Floor, Core & More, Dr. Desiree Cassell, pelvic floor physical therapist, unpacks the 10 most common daily habits that can cause prolapse or make symptoms worse. You’ll learn how to recognize these patterns, what to do instead, and how to finally stop feeling broken or fearful of movement.

    💡 Inside This Episode You’ll Learn:
    • ✅ What prolapse actually is (and how to know if you might have it).
    • ✅ The 10 most common habits that worsen prolapse, including:
    • Holding your breath when lifting
    • Constantly sucking in your stomach
    • Straining on the toilet
    • Skipping strength training or doing only kegels
    • Ignoring your body’s red flags
    • ✅ What to do instead to protect and support your pelvic floor.
    • ✅ How breathwork, fascia release, posture, and strength work all play a role in healing.
    • ✅ When it’s time to get support from a pelvic floor PT.
    🌸 Why This Matters:

    Prolapse doesn’t mean you’re broken. It doesn’t mean you can’t move, exercise, or enjoy life. With the right awareness and tools, you can heal, get stronger, and feel confident again.

    Knowledge is power — and this episode gives you the clarity you’ve been missing.

    127- Jump Without Leaks or Pressure// How to Get Back on the Trampoline (and Impact) Safely
    Sep 4 2025
    How many times have you avoided the trampoline with your kids because you knew you’d leak… or worried about making prolapse symptoms worse? Mama, you’re not broken — you just need the right progression to get back to the movement you love. 💛 In this empowering episode of Pelvic Floor, Core & More, Dr. Desiree Cassell, pelvic floor and women’s health physical therapist, breaks down exactly why trampoline jumping feels so hard postpartum, what mistakes to avoid, and the step-by-step process to return to high-impact safely. 💡 Inside This Episode You’ll Learn: ✅ Why trampoline jumping often leads to leaking or prolapse symptoms after pregnancy. ✅ The most common mistakes women make when trying to return to impact (like jumping too soon or doing endless kegels). ✅ The step-by-step progression you can follow to build back confidence and strength — from breathwork to low-impact plyos to full jumping. ✅ The red flags to watch for (like leaking, heaviness, bulging, or doming) that signal it’s time to pause and adjust. ✅ The mindset shift that will help you reclaim freedom in your body — without fear of setbacks. 🌸 Why This Matters: You don’t have to give up on trampolines, running, or the high-impact workouts you love. With the right tools and progression, you can jump, move, and play without worrying about leaks or worsening prolapse. Your body isn’t broken.

    126- The 5 Most Common Mistakes Women Make When Restoring Their Core
    Sep 1 2025
    If you’ve ever been told to “just strengthen your core” — only to keep leaking, feeling weak, or struggling with back pain — this episode is for you. 💛 The truth is, most women are given advice about their core that’s either incomplete or flat-out wrong. And when you focus on the wrong thing, you don’t just waste time… you can actually make your symptoms worse. That’s why in this episode of Pelvic Floor, Core & More, I’m breaking down the 5 most common mistakes women make about their core — and what to do instead. You’ll finally understand how your core really works, and how to start rebuilding strength, function, and confidence in your body. 💡 Inside This Episode You’ll Learn: ✅ Why your core is NOT just your abs → and what other muscles, fascia, and systems are part of the puzzle. ✅ The truth about crunches and planks → when they’re helpful, when they’re not, and what to focus on first. ✅ Why sucking in or bracing all the time is backfiring → and what to practice instead. ✅ The missing link of breath and fascia → how tension and poor pressure management block healing. ✅ Why leaking and pain don’t always mean “weakness” → and what they’re actually telling you about your body. 🌸 Why This Matters: When you understand your core as a whole system — not just “six-pack abs” — you can finally stop guessing, stop spinning your wheels, and start moving in ways that actually help. Your core isn’t broken, mama. It’s just misunderstood. 👉 If this episode resonated with you, share it with a mom friend who needs to hear that healing is possible.
