Ready to feel confident navigating postpartum recovery, being in-tune to your body, it’s boundaries to activity and avoiding common issues like diastasis recti (DRA), prolapse, and urinary incontinence (leaking)? Hey Momma! I’m Dr. Desiree Cassell, a Doctor of Physical Therapy that specializes in Women’s Health aka Pelvic Floor, a wife, mom of 3, foodie and lover of all things movement and mindfulness (bonus if it’s outdoors)! I can’t tell you how excited I am that you are here checking out The Balanced Momtality Women’s Health and Wellness Podcast! During my first pregnancy I experienced all the typical issues like DRA, urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and even hemorrhoids 😳. Only to be told “welcome to #momlife” by society and other moms in my life. So, like you, I accepted it as “normal”. Then, while working for my Doctor of Physical Therapy, I got pregnant with my second (still dealing with all the same issues and more 6 yrs later) and decided to put my new found knowledge to the test. YOU GUYS I was able to not only stop my urinary incontinence and prolapse from getting worse, I STOPPED LEAKING AND FEELING SYMPTOMS ALL TOGETHER! This is when my passion for educating, empowering and supporting other women and moms was born. I just knew I had to shout it from the rooftops that all those “common” symptoms ARE NOT NORMAL! You do not have to suffer and there IS HELP! Unfortunately, I brought all these issues up to my providers during my first pregnancy, only to be brushed off and told to do kegels and exercise. With that advice, I kegeld my life away and took a Pilates class postpartum that actually turned my DRA into an umbilical hernia and caused pain with intercourse because kegels were actually the opposite of what my pelvic floor needed (more on that inside the podcast 😉). Inside this podcast you will learn all about the pelvic floor and core system, common dysfunctions within the system during pregnancy and postpartum (and in general), how to connect and be aware of your body’s limits and how to SAFELY push those limits so you can be the strong, confident, and happy balanced momma you and your family deserve! Now let’s get you out of those pads and back to jumping on the trampoline with your kids and enjoying movement again! Put those airpods in, grab your water, roll out your mat and let’s connect!

Are You Pregnant? Early Postpartum? Maybe even decades postpartum? Well guess what Momma… once postpartum ALWAYS postpartum. And hey, maybe you're not a mom and you don’t plan to be. Well I promise you will want to stick around because EVERYONE has a pelvic floor, and I promise you will want to know the information inside this podcast. We’re going to learn how to strengthen and connect to the pelvic floor and core so that you can get rid of those pesky pee leaks, pelvic pressure or prolapse, pain with intercourse, Diastasis recti, pelvic organ prolapse, pelvic pain, back pain, hip pain and even neck pain and foot pain. It’s ALL connected, and with my whole body holistic approach, I promise that you will learn things in this episode that you didn't know before.
In today’s episode we’re diving into my own personal journey with urinary incontinence, prolapse and pain that started during my first pregnancy at 19 and, unfortunately, I just accepted it as “normal” and part of motherhood. Until I went through PT school and learned there was a better way and that in fact, those symptoms are COMMON but NOT NORMAL. I decided to put my new found knowledge to the test while I was pregnant with my second child and was not only able to stop my urinary incontinence (leaking) and prolapse from getting worse, I was able to heal and stop it ALL TOGETHER WHILE PREGNANT! And my subsequent births were night and day in terms of delivery time, pushing time, tearing and how available and emotionally present I was during those experiences. This is when I knew I HAD to share this information with the world so that other women like you, could understand and know that while these symptoms are common, they are not normal, and most importantly YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SUFFER! There is help and resources out there!
Inside this episode you will learn the first steps you must take to begin to heal your pelvic floor and core, no matter how long ago you had that baby or have been dealing with symptoms. So check it out and if you have any questions or would like to know more come hang out with me and other amazing women in my facebook group The Balanced Momtality Wellness and Support. I know you're busy momma so let's dive in!
