  • Summary

  • Women’s Health & Wellness* Prenatal Fitness *Postpartum Recovery *Pelvic Floor Exercises *Holistic Health *Whole Body Healing Are you a busy pregnant or postpartum (once postpartum always postpartum) mom that just wants to feel strong and healthy without the stress of having to revolve your life around your diet and exercise? Wanting functional and practical strategies to get in safe and effective exercises without fear of pain, prolapse or peeing your pants? All during your normal daily routines? Are you wanting to stay active and comfortable during your pregnancy, and avoid many of the common aches and pains? While also prepping and optimizing your mind and body for a beautiful birthing experience? Ready to feel confident navigating postpartum recovery, being in-tune to your body, it’s boundaries to activity and avoiding common issues like diastasis recti (DRA), prolapse, and urinary incontinence (leaking)? Hey Momma! I’m Dr. Desiree Cassell, a Doctor of Physical Therapy that specializes in Women’s Health aka Pelvic Floor, a wife, mom of 3, foodie and lover of all things movement and mindfulness (bonus if it’s outdoors)! I can’t tell you how excited I am that you are here checking out The Balanced Momtality Women’s Health and Wellness Podcast! During my first pregnancy I experienced all the typical issues like DRA, urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and even hemorrhoids 😳. Only to be told “welcome to #momlife” by society and other moms in my life. So, like you, I accepted it as “normal”. Then, while working for my Doctor of Physical Therapy, I got pregnant with my second (still dealing with all the same issues and more 6 yrs later) and decided to put my new found knowledge to the test. YOU GUYS I was able to not only stop my urinary incontinence and prolapse from getting worse, I STOPPED LEAKING AND FEELING SYMPTOMS ALL TOGETHER! This is when my passion for educating, empowering and supporting other women and moms was born. I just knew I had to shout it from the rooftops that all those “common” symptoms ARE NOT NORMAL! You do not have to suffer and there IS HELP! Unfortunately, I brought all these issues up to my providers during my first pregnancy, only to be brushed off and told to do kegels and exercise. With that advice, I kegeld my life away and took a Pilates class postpartum that actually turned my DRA into an umbilical hernia and caused pain with intercourse because kegels were actually the opposite of what my pelvic floor needed (more on that inside the podcast 😉). Inside this podcast you will learn all about the pelvic floor and core system, common dysfunctions within the system during pregnancy and postpartum (and in general), how to connect and be aware of your body’s limits and how to SAFELY push those limits so you can be the strong, confident, and happy balanced momma you and your family deserve! Now let’s get you out of those pads and back to jumping on the trampoline with your kids and enjoying movement again! Put those airpods in, grab your water, roll out your mat and let’s connect!

    Hey friend!

    Do you know what the pelvic floor is? I didn’t! At least not until I went to PT school and learned about it, and I had already had a child! Isn’t that crazy?! This is a muscle that is a part of our body and yet many of us don’t even know it exists. Let alone understanding its function and what it looks like when it’s not functioning properly. Which leads us to accepting all these issues like peeing our pants, pain with intercourse, pelvic organ prolapse or heaviness, chronic constipation. These issues we all accept as normal in our society, and its all because we do not know better. So in today’s episode I am going to teach you just that. This is pelvic floor 101 baby. You are going to learn what that muscle is, what it does and what it looks like when it isn't functioning properly and some tools and tips that you can start doing today to start healing and restoring your pelvic floor and core so it functions properly for you. Helping you to not suffer with pelvic floor dysfunction anymore!

    As always, if you are experiencing any pelvic floor/women's health issue like urinary incontinence/leaking, pelvic pain, pain with sex, urgency, heaviness/prolapse or any other back/hip/joint pain let's get you booked for a virtual coaching session or in person physical therapy session for a more individualized plan and one-on-one instructions so you can feel confident in your body and start healing today!!

    I know you are busy momma so Put those airpods in, grab your water, roll out your mat and let’s connect!

    Hi Love!

    Today we are talking breath work! What does that look like? How should we do it? Why is it the KEY to restoring your core function? So if you have done all the core exercises and haven’t seen the changes you want or have trouble reaching your goals. Or maybe you have heard of breath work, maybe you tried it a couple times, but it didn’t work for you so you stopped? But you are still dealing with pain, leaking and dysfunction. Then it is time to really understand why the breath work is so important and why I beg you not to give it up! Stick with it and inside this episode I promise you will leave feeling confident as to how it's supposed to happen and why you need to use it with everything that you do. It will also bring you a lot of mental peace and reduction in anxiety. Inside this episode we will discuss all the benefits of breathing, how you may be breathing poorly and causing the dysfunction in your body. Mostly we will discuss how you can use the breath for healing and restoring strength within your core and entire body. So if you want to learn the KEY to healing and restoring your core stay tuned! I got you!
