295 - (GUEST) Pelvic Floor Health: What Every Woman Needs to Know

Your pelvic floor impacts everything, from core strength, posture, and digestion to sex, hormones, and even your confidence. Yet most women never think about it until something goes wrong. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Amy Osborne to uncover the truth about pelvic floor health and why it matters for every woman, not just those who are pregnant or postpartum. We dive into the common signs of dysfunction, why many women have an overactive or weak pelvic floor without even realizing it, and the everyday habits that could be silently sabotaging your strength and comfort. You’ll also learn expert strategies you can start using immediately to support your pelvic floor, reduce pain, prevent leaks, and feel stronger from the inside out. Whether you’ve experienced symptoms or just want to optimize your body, this episode is a must-listen! ABOUT OUR GUEST Dr. Amanda (“Amy”) Osborne is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and the founder of Apto Physical Therapy & Wellness in Wheat Ridge, Colorado — a multidisciplinary clinic dedicated to bridging the gap between orthopedic rehab, pelvic health, strength training, and integrative wellness. With a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience and a Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Northwestern University, Amy brings more than a decade of specialized experience in pelvic floor rehabilitation. She is recognized by the APTA with a Certificate of Achievement in Obstetric Physical Therapy and has completed extensive post-doctoral training across multiple pelvic health methods, dry needling, and visceral/lymphatic techniques. A lifelong mover, Amy has been an ACE-certified personal trainer and fitness instructor for over 20 years. She is especially passionate about supporting pregnant and postpartum athletes, teaching courses on diastasis recti rehabilitation, progressive load, and return-to-sport protocols. Her unique clinical lens comes not only from her training, but from personal experience—she has navigated her own journey with chronic low-back and hip pain, which fuels her mission to help people rebuild strength and trust in their bodies. Beyond the clinic, Amy is an energetic educator and speaker, regularly presenting for professional organizations and healthcare teams on functional nutrition, pain science, behavior change, and pelvic health. She collaborates with partners like Craig Hospital to enhance pelvic health education for clinicians working with individuals recovering from spinal cord injury—one of her deepest areas of clinical passion. She is also a Certified Nutrition Therapy Practitioner, Restorative Wellness Practitioner, and ACE Behavior Change Specialist, currently pursuing the Personalized Medicine Certification through the University of South Florida. When she’s not in the clinic or classroom, you’ll likely find Amy lifting heavy things, teaching group fitness, or sharing evidence-based wellness insights on her blog, dramyozborne.com [http://dramyozborne.com/]. https://www.instagram.com/dramyosborne/ [https://www.instagram.com/dramyosborne/] https://www.aptophysicaltherapy.com/ [https://www.aptophysicaltherapy.com/] Do you feel like your metabolism has slowed down?
