Description

Dr. Lindsay sits down with pelvic floor physiotherapist Hilary McDermott to talk about the power of proactive pelvic care during pregnancy. Hilary shares why waiting until after birth to address pelvic floor health is outdated, and how early support can help you feel stronger, more confident, and better prepared for labor and recovery. Together, they unpack what really happens to your pelvic floor during pregnancy, common myths like “don’t do core exercises”, and how chiropractic and physiotherapy work hand in hand to support your changing body. Whether you’re expecting, planning to be, or supporting someone who is, this conversation will help you see pelvic health as a foundation - not a quick fix to add onto the pile while you’re already busy with a new baby.
