Stay Healthy South Sound

On the Stay Healthy South Sound Podcast, we provide tips on staying healthy and expose common myths about health and aging so you can enjoy a healthier and active life in the amazing South Sound. This podcast is brought to you by Dr. Jennifer Penrose owner of Penrose & Associates Physical Therapy.

Dr. Jennifer Penrose interviews Dr. Elizabeth Piper on many myths around pelvic health. Such as people think it is normal to leak urine as they age or after having multiple kids. Another one is that the only thing for pelvic health is “Kegel’s.” And so much more!

This is a great episode on pelvic health and when you should seek out a pelvic health physical therapist and what you can do to help those sensitive topics.
