They are all possible symptoms of Pelvic Floor Dysfunction.

"Are you suffering? Maybe in silence? Any kind of pelvic floor dysfunction can feel lonely or even shameful, especially if it is also affecting your intimacy.

This week on the Wholly a Woman podcast, I interview Christina Walsh, Physical Therapist and co-founder of Tighten Your Tinkler (@tighten.your.tinkler). 

Christina tells us things like what is normal and what is not when it comes to the pelvic floor, different causes for pain, and what you can do to alleviate and prevent pain.  And guess what, the answer is NOT kegels.  

This is a message of HOPE!  If there is a cause for your discomfort, then there is also a solution.  Tune in to this conversation and I know you will learn something!" 

"Do you have friends who will have wildly uncomfortable conversations with you?⁠
⁠
If not, I have good news. My guests today, Jenn Lormand and Christina Walsh, otherwise known as the Tighten Your Tinkler girls are here to help us understand our nether regions. ⁠

They are the friends you want when you’re trying to figure out if peeing while sneezing or coughing is normal (PS no, it’s common but not normal) or how to pull an all-nighter. ⁠
⁠
And by "all-nighter" I mean go all night without using the restroom."

"What do we need to know about supporting and healing the pelvic floor?  Is it super complex?

This week, we’re speaking with Christina, one of the creators and trainers of Tighten Your Tinkler. Christina and her business partner Jenn are a Physical Therapist and Exercise Physiologist duo who are dedicated to helping mothers heal their pelvic floors in a way that keeps physiology in mind.

The name is funny, but the results are serious!  I’ve personally been through their program and I’m currently incorporating their exercises into my daily life, and I absolutely love what they’re doing."

"Having a weak pelvic floor may be affecting your life, your marriage, and your ability to feel comfortable and confident in your body.  Here are some of the topics we explore today:

*How you can feel broken when things “down there” aren’t functioning like they should (or aren’t reliable!)

*How hip pain, back pain, neck pain, bunions and posture issues can all connect with a weak pelvic floor!

*We define prolapse–a condition that affects many women and comes in numbered stages.

*Jenn assures Heather that peeing when you cough, sneeze, or while exercising isn’t a normal and necessary part of aging–and that there is a way to stop it without surgery!"

"I’m so grateful that I got to speak with Jenn about her own experiences and the really fascinating approach/protocol that she and business partner Christina Walsh have developed.

Initially, I giggled when I saw the name “Tighten Your Tinkler” but it got my attention and I think, for many Catholic women who are mothers, this podcast episode will resonate. As with miscarriages, it seems that you don’t realize how common pelvic floor issues are until you say “yes, I’ve had (or am having) those too.” As you’ll hear in this episode, the issues can range from mild to severe, but there is hope no matter which end of the spectrum you may be on!"

"Jenn of Tighten Your Tinkler joins us to talk about the pelvic floor and how pelvic floor dysfunction is something that is common, but not normal. I repeat, NOT NORMAL. If you're seeing signs of pelvic floor dysfunction, that's something you need to start looking into so that it doesn't become a bigger issue later in life.

Personal disclaimer: I signed up for their Signature Program and I cannnot sing its praises enough. I loved the program and it helped with my personal symptoms I was seeing after 2 children. I highly encourage all of you to check out the Tighten Your Tinkler program and consider signing up!"

"Get ready for the most laughs you have ever encountered in a conversation about pelvic floor health.

Plus, did you know your back and hip pain may be due to your pelvic floor?

Many women experience tightness and discomfort in their back, groin, and hips after childbirth. Seeking help, they turn to their doctor - only to be told it is a mild case of some orthopedic issue or that their x-rays look good. But then their pelvic floor and core continue to get weaker, and pain prevents these women from exercising, enjoying intimacy, and living their fullest life. And, even though you may be in your 40s, 50s or beyond, you may still be experiencing the side effects from this.

Nothing is off limits in this conversation!"

"Jenn Lormand, Exercise Physiologist, is cofounder of Tighten Your Tinkler. 

In this conversation we talk about:

• Jenn's personal body image story- the effect of her environments and the restrictive place around food it led to

• Her healing journey from traumatic birth deliveries and pelvic organ prolapse diagnosis

• Signs of pelvic floor dysfunction

• Connection between eating disorders, self image, and pelvic floor health"

"They help moms jump for joy without peeing your pants!  LOL  They have been helping moms heal and feel better in their bodies again for a combined 36 years of experience.  The ladies who work with them call them “The Dream Team.”  They really focus on helping women, giving them the tools and guidance so they can feel themselves again. "

"You’re a WHOLE person first. Plain and simple. You’re ambitious, an achiever, have a successful career, run a business, are a mom, a wife, lead a team, (insert ALL of the roles you fill here),,, AND you have to take care of your health if you want to sustain all of the things that are important to you.

There are women’s health issues that aren’t talked about enough and when they are, you’re not always getting the whole picture, or the relief you need in order to go live the life you’re meant to lead. "

"Yes, we’re going there. It’s all about bladder control, painful intercourse and a “droopy bootie” in this week’s podcast. If you have any pelvic problems AT ALL - including constant tightness in your hips and back - you’ll want to take a listen. There’s a non-invasive solution that can get your lady business back to normal. I love when we can find more holistic approaches to health that don’t involve extremes! My guest experts are going to tell you all about it and it doesn’t involve kegels (which they don’t recommend)."

"In this episode, we are thrilled to be joined by the two founders of Tighten your Tinkler, Jenn Lormand (Exercise Physiologist) and Christina Walsh (Physical Therapist). 

Tune in for an interview with Dr. Alex where they will explain how most pelvic problems can be overcome by strengthening the muscles in the area to work as a cohesive team.  You will also learn how supporting pelvic floor health will be life-changing!"

"Aging and motherhood are beautiful in their own right. But sometimes things in your "nether-regions" are not like they used to be, especially after having kids. Joining me today is Exercise Physiologist, Jenn Lormand, as we explore breakthroughs in women's health and pelvic floor function. Gone are the antiquated days of endless kegels, and hello to holistic and research-based solutions to restore bladder and pelvic dysfunction and reignite intimacy and dignity."

"Millions of women struggle with stress incontinence, pelvic floor weakening, prolapse, diastasis recti and back and hip pain.  What if that didn’t have to be a “normal” part of aging as a woman?

This week Christina and Jenn of Tighter Your Tinkler join me and we talk about how too many women are stuck in a cycle of embarrassing and painful problems because no one is helping them get to the root cause of these issues.

They share 3 powerful tips that you can implement RIGHT now to begin to see changes in your life."

"Today on the show we talk to Jenn and Christina from Tighten Your Tinkler.

These Mom Entrepreneurs are here to talk about how the women's healthcare system is failing us. They have a proven solution (I personally am living proof) for back and hip pain, weak core issues, along with prolapse, urgency, and pain with intimacy.

We also talk about their lessons learned and get their advice on business partnerships, being a serial entrepreneur, and best practices for how to "balance" it all."

"Over 52 million women deal with an embarrassing issue: PEE leaks… when we sneeze, when we laugh, when we exercise.  There is no shame in this because it is SO COMMON. But we aren’t talking about the FIX for this enough! You do not always need to turn to medications, surgery or KEGELS.

Today on listen up I interview Pelvic Floor Experts Jenn and Christina on what causes this, how to prevent and reverse it, and why they are “anti Kegel”

Learn what you can do other than Kegels to help with this issue, where the idea came from, & why so many women suffer from this."

"Today I have an episode to share about a topic that I know is on the minds of just about every expecting mom, and that is the pelvic floor and postpartum recovery.

Christina Walsh of Tighten Your Tinkler will share her wisdom of functional pelvic floor health. 

This episode is definitely for you if you want to hear about why and how to use functional movement and non-invasive techniques to experience a holistic, restorative approach to postpartum pelvic floor health."
