Dr. Caleigh Campbell: How Physical Therapy is Revolutionizing Women's Healthcare

See full show notes and photos for this and all episodes here.

Dr. Caleigh Campbell chose to practice a specialty still unknown to many women and even to other doctors, though its results are simple, effective, and often life-changing: pelvic floor physical therapy. While practitioners of the field are still few, demand is growing rapidly as more and more women understand the benefits that span a lifetime.

"It's a very intimate subject, and most people don't talk about it at all. And if they do, they might be saying to someone else: “I've had that for years, that's just, you know, part of being a woman. And it's really not.”

You can find Dr. Campbell at Select Physical Therapy in Golden Colorado .

In this episode, we discuss:

• The benefits of pelvic floor physical therapy for young athletes, pregnant and post-partum women, mid-life and elderly women.

• The wide array of issues resolved by pelvic PT.

• The promise of treatment for incontinence, a healthier pregnancy and post partum; painful intercourse, and more.

• The freedom to visit a doctor of physical therapy without a referral (check with your insurer first.)

• How shame, embarrassment, pride and and a lack of knowledge prevents women from getting help.

• How breathing correctly can affect your pelvic floor.

• The role of properly done exercise in strengthening pelvic floor.

• How pelvic floor surgery often helps women avoid surgery.
