  • Amazing content

    Thank you Melissa for your podcasts! They are so informative and on such a a great variety of topics - men’s health, pregnancy related issues and perimenopause. I also appreciate the experts you bring in. I feel like the information you share is evidence based and sound, cutting through the vast amount of diverse, non-evidence based information out there.

  • A key piece of a human body owners manual!

    Discovered this podcast shortly postpartum with my second after an unexpected c-section - I wish I’d found this earlier! This is so much more than just for birthing people as well because everyone has a pelvic floor that might need some tweaks.

    It’s been such a refreshing chance to hear that slightly overdoing it won’t won’t ruin anything. As a toddler mom it feels so casual post major surgery being sent home and told not to drive, lift heavier than baby, or do housework for 6 weeks without any... more

    Hi from Edmonton, AB! My friend in Kelowna recommended this podcast & I will forever be grateful. I jut started treating pelvic and I feel like this podcast is saving me. It can be so overwhelming getting start and there is so much to look at / review. It’s so nice to be able to pop one of these podcasts while I’m out and about. They are easy to follow along while still be informative!

  • Top notch learning tool

    As a newer pelvic health physio, this podcast is changing the way I learn about my practice! I’m big on learning through listening and I’ve never been able to find a podcast that I’ve so deeply enjoyed while doing my workouts, walking the dog, driving to work etc. that kept my attention and taught me about physio topics. Not only is this a learning tool for myself, but I try to send an episode to each of my clients after we first meet as well! This podcast is professional, engaging and empowerin... more

  • Amazing!!

    This podcast continuously answers questions that I've had postpartum, from the early stages, to the years after. I can't thank Mel enough for all of her knowledge that she's shared and the guidance that she and her peers have given over the years!

99. Uresta: A reusable insert for bladder leaks with CEO Lauren Barker
Q: Can you talk a little bit about some data that suggests Uresta is helpful for other things?
While all our clinical studies have focused on stress incontinence, many women using Uresta report it helps with symptoms of prolapse as well, particularly low-grade.
99. Uresta: A reusable insert for bladder leaks with CEO Lauren Barker
Q: So what happens if someone is worried about insertability and they order it online?
My biggest thing is to relax, because I think people get really anxious when trying to remove it for the first time. It's not absorbent and can be in your body for a long period of time if necessary.
