Episode notes
From Traumatic Birth To Recovery
- Jenn Lormand described severe birth trauma, tearing, infections, and postpartum incontinence that led to prolapse and a surgery referral.
- She used non-invasive methods to avoid surgery and later built Tighten Your Tinkler from that recovery.
What Pelvic Organ Prolapse Is
- Prolapse occurs when pelvic organs fall into and against each other due to soft-tissue damage.
- Advanced stages can lead organs to descend to or outside the vaginal opening.
Don't Rely Only On Kegels
- Stop relying solely on Kegels; they only strengthen one contraction position and can cause hypertonicity.
- Train the pelvic floor functionally through movement-based routines, not just isolated squeezes.
