191- Diastasis Recti (DRA) Rehab Beyond Core Strengthening // 3 Things You Need Besides Exercise to Actually Heal Your Core
If you’ve been doing all the “right” core exercises for your diastasis recti… but your core still feels weak, domes, bulges, or disconnected — you may be missing some major pieces of the puzzle. Because healing diastasis recti is about so much more than just strengthening your abs. In this episode, Dr. Des breaks down three often-overlooked areas that can make a huge difference in core healing: fascial and soft tissue mobility, breathwork, and rib cage mobility. We discuss why these pieces matter, how they affect pressure and core function, and why exercise alone may not fully address the problem. If you’ve felt frustrated by slow progress, lingering weakness, or confusion around what actually helps diastasis heal, this conversation will help you better understand what your body may truly need. In This Episode, We Explore: What diastasis recti actually is Why strengthening alone sometimes falls short The role of fascia and soft tissue mobility in core function How breathing patterns impact pressure and healing Why rib cage mobility matters more than most women realize What true “core healing” actually looks like Common mistakes women make during recovery Why This Matters: Your core is not just muscles — it’s a coordinated system involving your diaphragm, abdominal wall, pelvic floor, fascia, posture, and breath. When one part of the system is restricted or not functioning well, the body often compensates with gripping, pressure, or instability patterns that can keep women feeling stuck. This whole-body approach to healing is exactly what we focus on inside the Pelvic Floor, Core & More App and RESTORE, where women are guided through breathwork, mobility, strengthening, and pressure management in a way that actually supports long-term function. ✨ Learn more here: https://balancedmomtality.com/the-app Want a Guided Healing and Rehab Program to Help You Reconnect and RESTORE?

190- Hysterectomy Recovery // What No One Tells You About Healing Your Core & Pelvic Floor After Surgery
A hysterectomy is one of the most common surgeries women undergo — yet so many women are sent home with very little guidance on how to actually heal, rebuild strength, and reconnect with their body afterward. If you’ve ever felt weak, disconnected, tight, unstable, or unsure how to safely return to movement after a hysterectomy… this episode is for you. In this conversation, Dr. Des breaks down what really happens to the core, pelvic floor, scar tissue, and nervous system after surgery, why being “cleared” doesn’t always mean fully healed, and the key things women should understand when it comes to long-term recovery. Because hysterectomy recovery is about so much more than just the incision healing. In This Episode, We Explore: What actually needs to heal after a hysterectomy Common symptoms women experience after surgery Why scar tissue and pressure management matter The role of the core, breath, and pelvic floor in recovery What women are often not told about rehab How to safely rebuild strength and confidence Why rest alone is not the full answer Why This Matters Many women are told to simply wait six weeks and slowly return to normal activity — but true healing often requires more support, guidance, and intentional rehabilitation. With the right approach, women can improve strength, reduce symptoms, feel more connected to their body, and return to movement with greater confidence. This whole-body approach to healing is exactly what we focus on inside the Pelvic Floor, Core & More App and RESTORE, where women are guided through breathwork, mobility, strength, and pelvic floor-friendly progression designed to support real-life recovery. ✨ Learn more here: https://balancedmomtality.com/the-app Want a Guided Healing and Rehab Program to Help You Reconnect and RESTORE?

189- Why You Might Feel Worse Before You Feel Better in Rehab
Have you ever started doing the “right” exercises… only to feel more sore, more aware of symptoms, or more discouraged? It can be easy to assume something is wrong or that your program isn’t working — but that’s not always the case. In this episode, Dr. Des explains why some women temporarily feel worse before they feel better when beginning rehab or rebuilding strength. We discuss how healing often includes increased awareness, nervous system changes, new tissue loading, and learning how to move differently. If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re doing enough, doing too much, or if your body is responding the “right” way, this conversation will help you understand what’s normal, what to watch for, and how to keep moving forward with confidence. In This Episode, We Explore: Why symptoms can temporarily flare during rehab The difference between soreness, awareness, and true setbacks How the nervous system impacts healing Common signs of normal adaptation vs red flags What to do if your symptoms increase temporarily Why proper progression matters Why This Matters Healing is not always a straight line. Sometimes the body needs time to adapt, rebuild capacity, and learn new movement patterns before things start to feel easier. Understanding this process can reduce fear, prevent quitting too soon, and help you stay consistent with the work that matters. This is exactly why structured guidance inside RESTORE and the Pelvic Floor, Core & More App can be so powerful — because you don’t have to guess what’s normal or what to do next. ✨ Learn more here: https://balancedmomtality.com/the-app Want a Guided Healing and Rehab Program to Help You Reconnect and RESTORE?

188- Round Ligament Pain & Lightning Crotch During Pregnancy // What’s Normal, What Helps & When to Get Support
Sharp pain when rolling in bed? Sudden zaps in your pelvis? Pain standing up, walking, or changing positions during pregnancy? You’re not alone — and while these symptoms are common, they can still be confusing and frustrating. In this episode, Dr. Des breaks down two very common pregnancy discomforts: round ligament pain and lightning crotch. We cover what these symptoms actually are, why they happen, what may be making them worse, and practical ways to find relief. If you’ve been wondering whether these sensations are normal, how to support your body better, or when it may be time to seek help, this episode will give you clarity and reassurance. In This Episode, We Explore: What round ligament pain is and why it happens What “lightning crotch” really means Common triggers during pregnancy Simple ways to reduce discomfort and move with more ease When symptoms may need extra support How pelvic floor physical therapy can help during pregnancy Why This Matters Pregnancy places new demands on your body, core, and pelvic floor. While discomfort can be common, suffering through it unsupported shouldn’t be the norm. With the right strategies, many women can move more comfortably, feel stronger, and enjoy pregnancy with less fear and frustration. This is also part of the support available inside the Pelvic Floor, Core & More App, where women learn how to move, train, and prepare for birth with more confidence. ✨ Learn more here: https://balancedmomtality.com/the-app Want a Guided Healing and Rehab Program to Help You Reconnect and RESTORE?

187- C-Section Recovery No One Talks About // Core Healing, Scar Tissue & What Moms Need to Know
It’s C-section Awareness Month, so we just had to talk about it on the show! A c-section is one of the most common surgeries in the world, yet many women are sent home with very little guidance on how to truly recover. If you’ve had a c-section and felt unsure how to heal your core, manage scar tissue, return to exercise, or feel connected to your body again… this episode is for you. In this conversation, Dr. Des breaks down what c-section recovery actually involves, common symptoms many moms experience but rarely talk about, and the key steps that can help you rebuild strength, confidence, and function after birth. Because being “cleared at 6 weeks” does not always mean fully healed. In This Episode, We Explore: What actually needs healing after a c-section Common symptoms like pulling, numbness, shelfing, weakness, and back pain Why scar tissue matters more than most women realize Early recovery tips that support healing How to safely rebuild core and pelvic floor strength Why emotional recovery matters too Why This Matters C-section recovery deserves more than rest and vague instructions. With the right support, women can improve strength, reduce discomfort, reconnect with their core, and return to movement feeling strong and empowered. This is a major part of the work we do inside RESTORE and the Pelvic Floor, Core & More App, where women receive guided postpartum support that actually makes sense. ✨ Learn more here: https://balancedmomtality.com/the-app Want a Guided Healing and Rehab Program to Help You Reconnect and RESTORE?

186- Can Cannabis Help Your Pelvic Floor? // What Women Should Know About CBD, THC & Pelvic Pain
With more women exploring natural and alternative tools for pain relief, stress support, and nervous system regulation, many are asking an important question: Can cannabis actually help pelvic floor symptoms? In this episode, Dr. Des breaks down the potential role of CBD, THC, and cannabis-based products when it comes to pelvic pain, tension, painful intimacy, stress, sleep, and overall pelvic health. We explore what current research and clinical experience suggest, how cannabis may support symptom relief for some women, and where it can fall short if deeper movement, strength, scar tissue, or coordination issues are being ignored. If you’ve been curious about whether cannabis might help with symptoms like pelvic pain, anxiety, painful intercourse, endometriosis discomfort, or chronic pelvic tension, this episode offers a balanced and realistic perspective. In This Episode, We Explore: The difference between CBD and THC How cannabis may impact pain, tension, and nervous system regulation Why pelvic floor symptoms often have multiple root causes When cannabis may help symptom relief — and when it won’t The difference between temporary relief and long-term healing Important cautions and considerations for women Why This Matters Many women are looking for better solutions than simply being told to “live with it.” Cannabis may be one supportive tool in the toolbox — but true healing often requires a bigger picture approach including movement, mobility, strength, breathwork, and nervous system support. That whole-body approach is exactly what we focus on inside RESTORE and the Pelvic Floor, Core & More App. Want a Guided Healing and Rehab Program to Help You Reconnect and RESTORE?
