  • Résumé

  • Women’s Health & Wellness* Prenatal Fitness *Postpartum Recovery *Pelvic Floor Exercises *Holistic Health *Whole Body Healing Are you a busy pregnant or postpartum (once postpartum always postpartum) mom that just wants to feel strong and healthy without the stress of having to revolve your life around your diet and exercise? Wanting functional and practical strategies to get in safe and effective exercises without fear of pain, prolapse or peeing your pants? All during your normal daily routines? Are you wanting to stay active and comfortable during your pregnancy, and avoid many of the common aches and pains? While also prepping and optimizing your mind and body for a beautiful birthing experience? Ready to feel confident navigating postpartum recovery, being in-tune to your body, it’s boundaries to activity and avoiding common issues like diastasis recti (DRA), prolapse, and urinary incontinence (leaking)? Hey Momma! I’m Dr. Desiree Cassell, a Doctor of Physical Therapy that specializes in Women’s Health aka Pelvic Floor, a wife, mom of 3, foodie and lover of all things movement and mindfulness (bonus if it’s outdoors)! I can’t tell you how excited I am that you are here checking out The Balanced Momtality Women’s Health and Wellness Podcast! During my first pregnancy I experienced all the typical issues like DRA, urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and even hemorrhoids 😳. Only to be told “welcome to #momlife” by society and other moms in my life. So, like you, I accepted it as “normal”. Then, while working for my Doctor of Physical Therapy, I got pregnant with my second (still dealing with all the same issues and more 6 yrs later) and decided to put my new found knowledge to the test. YOU GUYS I was able to not only stop my urinary incontinence and prolapse from getting worse, I STOPPED LEAKING AND FEELING SYMPTOMS ALL TOGETHER! This is when my passion for educating, empowering and supporting other women and moms was born. I just knew I had to shout it from the rooftops that all those “common” symptoms ARE NOT NORMAL! You do not have to suffer and there IS HELP! Unfortunately, I brought all these issues up to my providers during my first pregnancy, only to be brushed off and told to do kegels and exercise. With that advice, I kegeld my life away and took a Pilates class postpartum that actually turned my DRA into an umbilical hernia and caused pain with intercourse because kegels were actually the opposite of what my pelvic floor needed (more on that inside the podcast 😉). Inside this podcast you will learn all about the pelvic floor and core system, common dysfunctions within the system during pregnancy and postpartum (and in general), how to connect and be aware of your body’s limits and how to SAFELY push those limits so you can be the strong, confident, and happy balanced momma you and your family deserve! Now let’s get you out of those pads and back to jumping on the trampoline with your kids and enjoying movement again! Put those airpods in, grab your water, roll out your mat and let’s connect!

  • 94- The Inside Scoop on the Internal Vaginal Assessment from a Pelvic PT and Why and How You Should Do Your Own

    94- The Inside Scoop on the Internal Vaginal Assessment from a Pelvic PT and Why and How You Should Do Your Own
    Feb 11 2025

    Hey Lady!

    Have you ever wondered what the status of your pelvic floor is? If you know how to kegel correctly? Or maybe if you have tightness and kegels could make things worse? Or if you have prolapse that you should be keeping an eye on? These are all things that I am checking for as a pelvic floor PT during the internal assessment, among many other things! However, I find that these are things most women have never been told because their pap smears or other pelvic assessments done by a Gynecologist are not looking or assessing the function of your pelvic floor. While they may inform you of prolapse or atrophy in your muscles, they are mostly looking for infection, healing, abnormal tissue and bigger red flags. This is why many women come to me and are so amazed by what they learn from the internal vaginal assessment and many times we are finding and explaining the cause of their pain or symptoms for the first time.

    This is why I believe every woman should get an internal vaginal assessment so they can better understand the basic status of their pelvic floor and so they can compare throughout their life. It isn’t always easy to get into a pelvic floor PT and so I also think it can be very valuable to know how to perform your own self- assessment periodically, especially if you notice symptoms showing up or getting worse. While doing an internal assessment on yourself isn’t as thorough as getting one by a Pelvic Floor PT, it is so much better than nothing! Just reconnecting and becoming aware of the sensitivity, tightness or level of strength that you can feel at the vaginal opening and perineum can be a game changer! That is why I also help my Restore members perform and interpret their own self-vaginal assessments!

    RESTORE is my first 8 wk online signature program hosted inside my new platform that will be an APP soon Pelvic Floor, Core & More! Inside that program I walk you through the basics of healing, restoring your breathing, posture, core function and overall strength and return to impact and intensity. All with the guidance of me, a Pelvic Floor PT, in your pocket making sure that you are getting individualized support and feedback through the program during our weekly group coaching calls! This option is great for those that can't afford a one-on-one session for $200-$240, those that don’t have access to a pelvic floor PT in person or those that want to have a structured organized program with support as they are phasing out of acute therapy treatments and working more independently.

    93- What You Need to Be Successful In Your Health and Wellness Journey and RESTORE Your Core & Pelvic Floor// An Update on My PeVD Journey Post Iliac Vein Stent
    Jan 27 2025
    Hey Girl! Today's episode dives into my recent healing journey from an Iliac Stent Placement to treat my PeVD (Pelvic Venous Disorder or Pelvic Congestion Syndrome) and more about what I have been working on during my recovery to help you succeed in reaching your health and wellness goals this year! Are you a busy mom or woman who is tired of peeing your pants when you sneeze, cough, jump or run? Maybe you’re postpartum and wanting to restore your pelvic floor and core so you can feel strong and confident in your body, but not sure which exercises are “safe” and which might make your problems worse? How are you supposed to exercise and heal if you have no time or energy? 😱 Is it actually possible to sneeze, run or jump on a trampoline without pain, pressure or peeing your pants?! 🤯 I bet you’ve tried kegels, traditional core exercises and maybe even started going to the gym or seeing a personal trainer…And nothing has quite worked for you, right? How do you find the ⏰ TIME ⏰ to take care of yourself and workout for 45-60 minutes a day if you're a busy mom jugging allll the things or have a full time job or BOTH?!? How do you justify spending money on a gym membership or physical therapist if you don’t think you have the time to actually go or put in the work?? 😨 Why's it so nerve-racking to invest in YOU and YOUR HEALTH?! Is the constant battle of worrying if you're going to pee your pants when you're out in public or exercising really worth it? Or should you just stop doing the things you love? Can you really get a strong core and pelvic floor without having to take time away from your family to spend an hour at the gym, when you don’t even have the energy? 🤔 And when should you even start strengthening your pelvic floor during pregnancy or postpartum? 🤔 Should you even be doing “core” exercises? 🤔 What about kegels? Are you doing them right or should you even be doing them at all? 🤔 What about making things worse if I do the wrong exercises or do them the wrong way?! 🤔Is this just life after babies? STOP. JUST STOP. 🤯 If any (or all) of the above questions run through your head… day after day… I might be able to help. Hey, it's Dr. Des here… 👋 And, while I don't claim to know it all, I HAVE helped thousands of busy active women transform their body & life by creating a sustainable step by step action plan. They call themselves a Balanced Momma 💪 And yet… Not that long ago, I was in your shoes. Those early days were rough. I'd take a step forward only to take three more back. I was drowning in overwhelm from the chaos of motherhood and the guilt when I wanted to take time for myself to exercise and restore my body. Anyways, if that's kinda how you feel right now... Let me give you a road map, so that you stop hitting dead ends or getting lost on back roads, and instead take the fast lane to a strong mind and body that you can be proud of. Let me show you that YOU can feel confident and strong without pain, pressure or peeing your pants! 💪 👇 Here is what I’m proposing. 👇 I’ve had a TON of busy mommas and frustrated women, just like you, reach out to me asking for my help. So I had this crazy idea to build a step by step plan to guide you from feeling overwhelmed and worried that you're going to make things worse, to doing all the things you love with confidence (and no pads ) in just 8 weeks! No fluff. No messing around, just a simple plan to take you from limiting your activities and wearing pads to running, playing and joining your kids at the trampoline park again! ✅ If you are interested in claiming one of the 10 spots available, APPLY to the link below: 👉 APPLY for RESTORE https://zk54zbgub54.typeform.com/to/bkF2AUKm As always, if you are experiencing any pelvic floor/women's health issue like urinary incontinence/leaking, pelvic pain, pain with sex, urgency, heaviness/prolapse or any other back/hip/joint pain and you want a totally individualized approach, then let's get you booked for a virtual one-on-one coaching session or in person physical therapy session for a more individualized plan and one-on-one instructions so you can feel confident in your body and start healing today!! ~XO Dr Des Make Sure to reach out to> PTDes@balancedmomtality.com AND/OR Join my FREE Facebook community for ACCOUNTABILITY and a safe and supportive place to share and support each other!> https://www.facebook.com/groups/1696216757461633/ Join my VIP Insider group and receive my Newsletter full of great tips and tricks and upcoming resources! > https://newsletter.balancedmomtality.com/ Follow and get tips/tricks on: Facebook> @thebalancedmomtality Instagram> @the_balanced_momtality Learn > www.balancedmomtality.com

    92- How to Progress Kegels and Pelvic Floor Strengthening Exercises to Prevent Leaking, Pain and Pelvic Organ Prolapse
    Jan 20 2025

    Hey Love,

    Have you wondered how to make those kegels transfer to not leaking during a jumping jack or while running or chasing down your kids? Wondering what's the best way to progress your exercises so that you can keep getting stronger without doing too much and causing more prolapse, pain and leaking? This is a very common and valid concern as the worst thing you could do is go too hard and cause injury, leaking or prolapse when you never had it before that. That is why I am so excited that my New App Pelvic Floor, Core & More is Launching SOON! My first program inside this platform is going to be an 8 week RESTORE program that walks you through the steps, taking the guesswork out!

    Inside today’s episode I am giving you some ideas on when and how to progress safely and effectively, but also what my progressions and weekly breakdown will look like inside of the Restore program. It is so important to make sure that you are not just doing kegel, but connecting the whole kinetic chain to work together so that you can restore your whole body, starting at the core! It is more than just adding weights and reps. Is it functional? Is it realistic? Is it progressing you towards the bigger higher intensity exercises like running, jumping, and HIIT training you are so anxious to be able to do? The Restore program not only will help guide you through safe and effective workouts each week, but will also give you a weekly lesson to help you understand your body and how to heal and prevent issues in the future! There is also a weekly group coaching call for accountability, trouble shooting and any questions you may have to help tailor the program more individually to you!

    If you are interested in learning more about the Pelvic Floor, Core & More program and want to get in on the Beta stages for BIG discounts… then click the link below to APPLY TODAY! Launching will begin next week, but spots are limited so if you think you want to join DON’T WAIT and schedule your Discovery call today! Click the link below!
