When an athlete gets injured, they are put on a recovery plan that ensures they take the proper amount of time and rehabilitation towards healing. Why is it not the same for women after giving birth? It is discouraging for new moms to seek medical help with their postpartum struggles in a world that expects women to “bounce back” to their pre-pregnancy body, energy levels, sexual drive, and more.

In this episode, I am joined by Marcy Crouch. Marcy received her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of Southern California in 2010. She then completed a Women’s Health Residency program in Dallas, TX where she focused on all aspects of pelvic floor dysfunction, pregnancy and postpartum musculoskeletal issues, and breast cancer rehabilitation. Marcy is passionate about spreading knowledge, resources, and support for women and the birthing community to make sure that the quality of care increases for women after giving birth.

In this conversation, Marcy talks about the importance of pelvic floor health for women postpartum. Marcy shares the common challenges that women experience after giving birth, what the optimal amount of time is between births, an estimated timeline for recovery after giving birth, how to know if you have a weak pelvic floor, the connection between our pelvic floor and our menstrual cycle, and so much more.
