Dr. Meghan Rohde: Persevering Through Life's Challenges and Growing Through Adversity

In this episode of the Brawn Body Health and Fitness Podcast - Dan is joined by Dr. Meghan Rohde to discuss challenges she has faced in her personal life and how she uses what has happened to her to have a positive impact on those around her and be the "alpha, savage PT" she is known as today.

Meghan is a unique physical therapist and researcher with a passionate approach to science, medicine, and education for everyone. She received her undergraduate degree from the University of Oklahoma in 2002 in Health and Sport Sciences. In 2006, she completed her Master of Physical Therapy, also at the University of Oklahoma in the Health Sciences Center. Her travels took her to Cleveland, Ohio, where she was on the rehabilitation staff at Cleveland Clinic. Convinced she was going to work with professional athletes forever, the Universe had different plans. Meghan became the resident expert in the hip and pelvis, soon seeing exclusively female athletes, many of whom became pregnant or were postpartum. Have no clue how to work with this population, she eagerly completed her training in pregnancy and postpartum physical therapy through the American Physical Therapy Association Academy of Pelvic Health, the first graduating class to be awareded the Certificate of Adanced Practice in Pregnancy and Postpartum Physical Therapy. While in Cleveland, Meghan also completed her transitional Doctor of Physical Therapy from the University of Montana. In 2011 she relocated to sunny Arizona, because you can’t shovel sunshine. After several years in private practice and honing her pelvic health skills, she received a faculty appointment at Franklin Pierce University in 2014, where she continues to serve as an Associate Professor. She completed her Ph.D. in Human and Sports Performance earlier this year. Her research examined the prevalence of stress urinary incontinence in female athletes predominantly involved in the strength sports of Olympic weightlifting, power lifting, Crossfit, and functional fitness. Meghan is married to the soul match the Universe gifted her, Forrest. Together they have a son, Forrest Benjamin, and she is a bonus mom to Eli, Olivia, and Colin. Meghan continues to enjoy weightlifting, functional fitness, and is completing her yoga teacher training through Soul Ascension Healing Arts. Her integrative approach to women’s health and wellness will help you change your life. It certainly changed hers.
