Leakage, Constipation & Pelvic Pain Aren’t Normal with Dr. Allison Ingley | Podcast Ep.26

A little leakage when you sneeze. Pelvic pain that doesn't show up on any scan. Hip pain that won't budge no matter how much you strengthen it. These symptoms are common, but they aren't something you just have to live with.

Dr. Allison Ingley is a pelvic floor physical therapist and the founder of Core Strong Physical Therapy in Powell, Ohio. After experiencing pelvic floor dysfunction herself after the birth of her first child, she has spent her career helping people find the answers that so often get missed in a quick doctor's visit.

You'll learn:

• Why urinary leakage, even a few drops, is considered incontinence

• How pelvic floor dysfunction can contribute to constipation, pelvic pain, painful sex, urinary urgency, prolapse, hip pain and low back pain

• Why normal imaging doesn't always mean nothing is wrong

• What to expect during a trauma-informed pelvic floor evaluation

• Why Kegels aren't the answer for everyone, and may make an overactive pelvic floor worse

• How the nervous system's survival-mode response and stored emotion can drive pelvic tension and chronic pain

• A five-second tension check that helps you notice and release unnecessary gripping throughout your day
