Pelvic Health with Ann Udofia, PT, DPT

Did you know there are pelvic health specialists that can help with so many pelvic issues such as chronic pain, sexual health, trauma, incontinence, constipation, postpartum, menopausal, and more! I think it's possible that HSPs might benefit a lot from trying options like pelvic floor physical therapy before considering medications and surgery. In this post, you will earn about the range of issues pelvic floor health can support, such as the holistic options Ann Udofia, PT, DPT, an award-winning practitioner shares that might transform your health.

Introducing

The information shared is from the website of Ann Udofia, PT, DPT, who I recently met and was blown away by her knowledge. Ann specializes in pelvic health PT (for all genders) with a strong area of interest in women’s and prenatal/ postpartum health.

I think this is a life-changing kind of support that needs to be talked about more! 

I suffered from prolapse many years ago and didn't even know about all these options and went directly to surgery, which turned out to create so many problems for me with multiple surgeries.  I have this deep desire to prevent that for other women.  

I also know that many women suffer from postpartum pain and issues, sexual pain, elimination issues, menopausal issues, incontinence, and want to spread awareness around pelvic supportive health.  

Did you know that putting your feet on a stool, raising your knees above hip level puts you in a healthier squat position that straightens the rectum and can have long term health benefits? There are so many things you can do to promote healing and health.  Did you know that you can retrain your nervous system that can help with incontinence and sexual issues and trauma? Did you know you know there are people trained specifically to support your pelvic health?
