Post-partum Urinary Incontinence..or "leakage". Interview with Dr Iris Platt

This week I am joined by the amazing Dr Iris Platt.<br/><br/>Iris is a Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist with a Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Columbia University ( and a Masters in Neuroscience from Teachers College Columbia University. )<br/><br/>We spend an entire hour talking about urinary incontinence, that's right..an entire hour!<br/><br/>Iris is a phenomenal educator and clearly very passionate about her expert field..you will LOVE THIS!<br/><br/>Among many things, Iris talks about the different kinds of urinary incontinence.<br/><br/>How common it is post-partum.<br/>What causes urinary incontinence.<br/>When you should start "worrying" about UI or "leakage".<br/>What is normal and what isn't.<br/>What you can do to help heal your UI.<br/>Why Kegels are not enough.<br/>How it is never to late to start working on your UI.<br/>Why seeing a Pelvic Floor specialist should be very hgih on your list of things-to-do postpartum.<br/>The process of Pelvic Floor therapy (and how it's not as scary or embarrasing as some people believe it is)<br/>And the importance of knowing what "down there" should look and feel like for you. "What is normal for you" is what's important.<br/><br/>And much, more more.<br/><br/>You can find Iris on the internet!<br/><br/>Her website<br/>Her Instagram<br/><br/>Just a  reminder that HPNB now only has 5 billing cycles!<br/><br/>So this means that you not only get 3 months FREE access, no obligation! <br/>BUT, if you decide you want to do the rest of the program, after only 5 months of paying $10/£8 a month you now get FREE LIFE TIME ACCESS! That's $50 max spend, in case you were wondering.<br/><br/>This means you can sign up after your first child, use the program and recover and then still have access after giving birth to child 2 and 3!<br/><br/>None of this "pay X amount a year" nonsense, once you've paid..you've paid!<br/><br/>This makes HPNB not just the most efficient and complete post-partum recovery program, it's also BY FAR the best value.<br/><br/>Remember to follow us on Instagram and Facebook for the competitions, wisdom and cute videos.
