Women's Health Uncovered: Jade Lucas-Reed on Pelvic Floor and Beyond
For those that don't know, prolapse is when the actual pelvic organs move down the body like they're kind of hanging out, not out of the vagina but downwards or, for some women, completely out.
Ever wondered why your body sometimes feels like a mystery? Episode 53 of 'The Chase Life Podcast' with Rachel Godfrey might just have the answers you're looking for. Rachel sits down with her friend and women's health physio, Jade Lucas-Reed, to discuss everything from painful periods to postpartum issues. With a refreshing and candid approach, they cover a wide range of topics that are often left unspoken but deeply affect women's lives.
Jade, who transitioned from a musculoskeletal physio to a women's health specialist, shares her journey and insights. She opens up about how having her hip flexor released drastically reduced her own pre-menstrual pain and why she believes everyone, regardless of their birth method, should see a postpartum specialist. The conversation isn't just clinical; it's emotional too. They talk about how stress levels can physically affect the uterus and pelvic floor, and the importance of treating both the mind and body.
The episode also delves into the role of Ayurvedic medicine in Jade's practice and how it complements her holistic approach to patient care.
