😩 You're trying to do EVERYTHING right after childbirth—pelvic floor PT, backing off workouts, giving it time… but that pelvic heaviness, bulging, or pressure is still there. It’s exhausting. It’s defeating. And no one seems to have real answers.

If you’ve been told “it’s just your new normal,” this episode is your reminder: it doesn’t have to be.

I’m joined by Dr. Imran Siddiqui (@thesiddiquimd), a Washington DC-based sports medicine physician who’s taking his background in musculosketetal imaging and regenerative medicine to introduce an innovative potential solution to postpartum pelvic injuries—especially when it comes to pelvic organ prolapse and birth-related injuries.⁠ @rosmonline

We dive into Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy—what it is, how it works, and why it could be part of the missing link when pelvic floor symptoms don’t resolve with rehab alone.⁠

Here’s what we cover:
🔹What exactly is PRP & how does it work to heal damaged tissue?
🔹The anatomy of the pelvic floor and its ability to actually regenerate⁠
🔹How PRP is used for pelvic floor injuries & tissue trauma after birth⁠
🔹Why past injuries—yes, even from years ago—can slow or block your recovery⁠
🔹 The reality of chronic pelvic pain and the need for full-body, comprehensive care⁠
🔹 The power of collaboration between sports medicine + pelvic floor PT⁠
🔹 And the biggest truth of all: you don’t have to accept a “new normal” that doesn’t feel like you⁠

Whether you’ve been brushed off or just stuck in the “I’ve tried everything” phase—this convo gives hope, science, and a path forward.⁠
