Understanding Pelvic Organ Prolapse with Krystle Howald of Expecting and Empowered
Description
If you’ve ever felt pressure, heaviness, or worry about what’s “normal” after giving birth, this episode is for you. I’m joined by Krystle Howald, Doctor of Physical Therapy and co-founder of Expecting and Empowered, to unpack the truth about pelvic organ prolapse — a common (but rarely talked about) condition many moms experience postpartum.
We break down what prolapse actually is, what symptoms to look for, how to get support, and why a diagnosis doesn’t mean your fitness journey is over. Krystle also shares hope and practical steps for safely returning to strength training, movement, and confidence in your body.
You’ll walk away feeling informed, supported, and empowered to take the next step in your healing journey.
