What You Were Never Told About Pelvic Floor Health (but Need to Know) | Dr. Kayla Borchers
In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Kayla Borchers — a holistic orthopedic and pelvic health physical therapist, postpartum corrective exercise specialist, and mama of three. She’s the founder of the Holistically Well Method, blending modern medicine with a whole-woman approach to healing. We’re talking about everything your OB never told you — pelvic floor therapy, scar mobilization, diastasis recti, and the small, everyday practices that make a big difference in how you heal and feel in your body before and after birth. Whether you’re preparing for pregnancy, navigating postpartum, or curious about how to feel strong again without overdoing it — this one’s for you!
