In this episode, Lynne Shulte, a pelvic floor PT and founder of the Institute for Birth Healing talks about common issues in pregnancy and especially postpartum. She talks about her history for over 30 years as a pelvic floor PT and the common patterns that led her to create programs for birthing people and providers to help recognize and alleviate these problems so that they don’t cause further issues. She discusses what an open birthing pattern is and what effect it has on a person’s body, what some of the other effects that birth can have on the body, and what birthers can do to help themselves recover better after birth.
