Pelvic Floor, Core & More | Healing Beyond Kegels: Core Rehab, Prenatal Fitness, Birth Prep, Postpartum Recovery, Nervous System Regulation, and Holistic Self-Care for Moms
The podcast where nervous system healing meets pelvic floor rehab. Helping you LOVE movement again and LIVE WITHOUT PAIN, PRESSURE or PEEING YOUR PANTS!
I’m Dr. Desiree Cassell — pelvic floor physical therapist, mom of 3, and your guide to embodied, empowered healing after birth. (And don’t worry, you don’t have to have birthed a child or even be a mom to benefit from this show. This is here for ALL Women, mom or not, Fit or Weak)
Here, we go way beyond kegels.
You’ll learn how to:
💫 Heal pelvic floor symptoms like leaking (incontinence), prolapse (POP), and pain (Dyspareunia, Vulvodynia etc)
💫 Rebuild core strength without making symptoms worse
💫 Move through pregnancy and postpartum with confidence and connection
💫 Use breath, fascia, and nervous system tools for real, full-body restoration
💫 Shift from surviving to thriving in your body — all during your daily routine
After healing my own prolapse, leaking, and diastasis (that no one warned me about), I made it my mission to make sure no woman is brushed off or left behind again.
Because these symptoms might be common — but they are NOT normal.
🎧 Subscribe for real-talk, expert support, and soul-led strategies to feel strong, safe, and free in your body again.
It is time to get you out of those pads and back to loving movement again.... yes even jumping on the trampoline.

Hey Friend!
Are you concerned that your posture is making your pelvic floor symptoms worse? Tired of hearing about posture but not understanding how it impacts or changes your pelvic floor? Wanting to feel more confident in how you’re posturing during the day to avoid aggravating your symptoms? Posture changes so much during pregnancy, postpartum and life in general and it can be so helpful to understand how our bodies manage pressure based on different postures. We can use our posture to either increase muscle recruitment and stability or to increase pressure and tension causing pain.
Inside today’s episode we are going to talk about: why our posture matters when it comes to our core/pelvic floor, some common postures that negatively impact our core system as well as how you can align optimally to make sure that you are avoiding extra pressure and tension in your system!
So girl, put those airpods in, grab your water, roll out your mat and let’s connect!

Hi Love!
Today we are talking breath work! What does that look like? How should we do it? Why is it the KEY to restoring your core function? So if you have done all the core exercises and haven’t seen the changes you want or have trouble reaching your goals. Or maybe you have heard of breath work, maybe you tried it a couple times, but it didn’t work for you so you stopped? But you are still dealing with pain, leaking and dysfunction. Then it is time to really understand why the breath work is so important and why I beg you not to give it up! Stick with it and inside this episode I promise you will leave feeling confident as to how it's supposed to happen and why you need to use it with everything that you do. It will also bring you a lot of mental peace and reduction in anxiety. Inside this episode we will discuss all the benefits of breathing, how you may be breathing poorly and causing the dysfunction in your body. Mostly we will discuss how you can use the breath for healing and restoring strength within your core and entire body. So if you want to learn the KEY to healing and restoring your core stay tuned! I got you!

Hey friend! Do you know what the pelvic floor is? I didn’t! At least not until I went to PT school and learned about it, and I had already had a child! Isn’t that crazy?! This is a muscle that is a part of our body and yet many of us don’t even know it exists. Let alone understanding its function and what it looks like when it’s not functioning properly. Which leads us to accepting all these issues like peeing our pants, pain with intercourse, pelvic organ prolapse or heaviness, chronic constipation. These issues we all accept as normal in our society, and it's all because we do not know better. So in today’s episode I am going to teach you just that. This is pelvic floor 101 baby. You are going to learn what that muscle is, what it does and what it looks like when it isn't functioning properly and some tools and tips that you can start doing today to start healing and restoring your pelvic floor and core so it functions properly for you. Helping you to not suffer with pelvic floor dysfunction anymore!

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!
