Episode 3: Why ‘Just Do Kegels’ is bad advice for your pelvic floor with Dr. Corrie

If you’ve ever been told to “just do Kegels” for your pelvic floor issues, you’re not alone — and you’ve probably been given advice that’s oversimplified, outdated, and potentially harmful.

In this episode of Vaginally Speaking, I’m joined by Dr. Corrie — pelvic floor therapist and co-owner of Genesis PT and Wellness — to take a sledgehammer to some of the biggest pelvic health myths that keep women confused and silent about their bodies.

We dive into the truth about why Kegels are not a one-size-fits-all solution, why “just push it out” is terrible advice for your bladder and bowels, and how emotional and trauma healing are deeply connected to your pelvic health.

You’ll hear:

  • Why you should stop doing Kegels until you know what your pelvic floor actually needs
  • The myth of “just push it out” — and how it harms bladder and bowel function
  • Postpartum truths that go beyond the dismissive “welcome to motherhood” mentality
  • Real-life patient stories showing how trauma can live in the pelvic floor
  • How emotional healing and pelvic therapy work together for lasting results

Pelvic health isn’t just about muscles — it’s about understanding your whole body, your history, and your needs.

🎧 Listen to Episode 3 now and learn why your pelvic floor deserves more than “just do Kegels.”
