Welcome back to Cycle and Season. I am Aishwarya Menon, and I am joined today by someone I refer patients to every single week. Deepa Varghese is a pelvic floor physiotherapist, and she spends her days with women who have been leaking, aching or feeling a heaviness since their babies were born, sometimes decades ago, and were told by their mothers, their aunties and their doctors to simply live with it. You do not have to. We are going to explain what the pelvic floor is, what childbirth does to it, why squeezing exercises alone are not enough, and what a proper recovery looks like, including getting back to the gym. Deepa, welcome. Let us start with the question I get asked in whispers. You are listening on Witspeak Podcasts.
