Episode 12: Pelvic Floor and More: Athletic Performance, Incontinence, Pregnancy, and Sex with Dr. Krystyna Holland, PT, DPT - a podcast by Dr. Alexis Lancaster, PT, DPT and Dr. Kyle Brunelle, PT, DPT

Krystyna Holland joined us for an episode (and we can't wait to have her back on) and we talked about everything from pelvic pain to pregnancy exercise recommendations to leaking while coughing, jumping, and sneezing, low back pain and the relationship it has to pelvic floor dysfunction, and how athletes can improve their performance by optimizing their core stability (your pelvic floor plays a huge role, btw).The take home message from the episode was that although pelvic dysfunction may be common, it is not inevitable. This episode was straight fire and we're so pumped that we didn't lost the recording (it almost happened).

Krystyna’s journey as a provider started as a patient. Frustrations with her own medical treatment, including feeling unheard, short appointment times, and one-size-fits-all treatment have inspired her to go the extra mile when it comes to empowering her patients to be an active participant in their healthcare, starting in their physical therapy sessions.

She has seen how healthcare discrepancies impact patient care and experience, and she started Inclusive Care to provide quality healthcare to everyone, regardless of their position on the gender identity spectrum.

She wishes everyone knew about pelvic health and how it relates to having pleasurable sex, strength and stability, and staying dry, which is why she puts out information on social media and hosts interactive workshops.

She knows first hand the power of pelvic floor physical therapy and how it can build confidence in your ability to stop having painful sex, stop leaking, and start living.Find Krystyna on Instagram @Krystyna.Holland
