Spoiler alert‼️ It's NOT normal to pee when you sneeze, or when you jump or when you exercise! Not even after having babies. So many people are told that this is normal and just something they will have to live with. Thankfully there are knowledgeable PT's out there focusing on exactly this issue and more. Pelvic floor physical therapy is a specialized field, not something that should be preformed by any physical therapist. In this episode Katie Oshita and Rachel Doza discuss what pelvic floor PT really is all about, including covering the new diagnosis of Genitourinary Syndrome of Lactation (GSL) and how this effects postpartum parents.

Podcast Guest: Dr. Rachel Doza decided to open her own physical therapy practice to provide higher quality care than high patient-volume clinics. Her pelvic floor physical therapy practice is focused on quality over quantity, and the patient results speak for themselves!

Rachel has been in the physical therapy field for over a decade and has extensive education beyond her doctorate degree in pelvic health, dry needling, orthopedics, and is a certified Pre & Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist.

Stemming from her military background, she is a fierce advocate for women's rights and loves helping women regain control over their bodies.
