Pregnancy and childbirth can understandably put a lot of strain on the pelvic floor, but due to a dearth of common knowledge about pelvic health, many women believe that there is nothing they can do about any pain or issue that arises after giving birth. With greater understanding of how the pelvis can be realigned and have its muscles strengthened with physical therapy, we could be well on our way to eradicating the belief that childbirth does irreversible damage to a woman's body and allow future generations to know that their lives don't need to be controlled by pain.

Sarah and Dr. DeLass talk about the ins and outs of pelvic wellness, and walk through the ways that a misaligned pelvis can cause issues in the whole body, and how those issues can be repaired or prevented with therapy to align and strengthen the pelvic muscles. They also discuss the utility and importance of pelvic alignment and how a better common understanding of what pelvic health entails would help a lot of people realize that they can improve their quality of life at any age.

Dr. DeLass is a world-class pelvic health expert. She is a physical therapist by trait and has helped 1000’s of people throughout her career function, feel and move better! She currently lives in South Jordan, Utah with her family. She truly believes that we are meant to live life to the fullest and she wants that for you too!
