Pelvic Secrets: Unlocking the Hidden Power of Your Core
In this episode of Soma Says, Dr. Soma sits down with Dr. Krystal Couture, DPT, LAc., a holistic physical therapist and acupuncturist, to shine light on an often-overlooked topic: pelvic floor health.
Krystal explains what pelvic floor dysfunction really is, the common symptoms women (and men) experience, and the surprising emotional and physical causes behind it. Together, they explore how holistic practices—like acupuncture, craniosacral therapy, and breathwork—can be combined with traditional physical therapy for a deeper, more integrative approach.
Listeners will learn practical tools like pelvic breathing exercises, hear myths about pelvic floor health get debunked, and discover why open conversations and proper education are essential to breaking the taboo around this vital part of our health.
Whether you’re navigating postpartum changes, perimenopause, or simply curious about strengthening your pelvic health, this episode will leave you with both knowledge and empowerment.
