Exercise and the Pelvic Floor: Functionality for Real Life with Dr. Ryan Bailey

Your pelvic floor is important in your everyday life. Whether we think about it or not, it plays a critical role in everything from exercise to child care and more. 

Join me and Dr. Ryan Bailey for a conversation about the importance of the pelvic floor, its role in exercise and life and how we can care for it best.

About Our Guest:

Dr. Ryan Bailey loves working with women to demystify the taboo topics of the “down there.” Ever since she was able to get a new mom to walk again [literally], 14 years ago, the pelvic floor became her favorite topic, especially when related to pregnancy, birth and postpartum. Her belief is the pelvic floor is your center, influencing your whole body and being influenced by your whole body; so when you are experiencing pelvic floor issues, it takes a whole body approach to heal, restore and rebuild. Dr. Bailey’s philosophy is you are the expert of your body and she is your guide on how to find the clues throughout your body as to how to heal the pelvic floor problems you are experiencing. She brings a modern twist to healing by using these clues in addition to cycle syncing, body rolling, tissue nourishment and lifestyle mindfulness for restoration of function.

Dr. Bailey earned her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from the University of New England, and after extensive (and continued training) became a Board Certified Women’s Health Physical Therapist and Prenatal and Postpartum Exercise Specialist with training in Pilates. She opened her practice, Expecting Pelvic Health in 2015 after having her daughter and seeing first hand the gap in pregnancy and postpartum healing in the medical system. She strives to educate as may women as she can through her social media and blog posts, because she believes you deserve to understand the most intimate parts of your body. Dr. Bailey wants you to be confident when it comes to pelvic floor health not only for today but for all the tomorrow’s to come, feeling strong to move and play without worrying about peeing your pants, pelvic pressure or pain.
