In this episode, Gila interviews Anastasia Young, a pelvic floor physical therapist based in Long Island and Manhattan, for an in-depth conversation on pelvic floor health, mindful movement, and holistic physical therapy.
Anastasia shares her journey from professional athletics to pelvic floor therapy and explains how posture, breath, alignment, and movement patterns impact pain, incontinence, constipation, and overall women’s health. They discuss common pelvic floor symptoms, why Kegels aren’t always the solution, the role of fascia and emotions in chronic pain, and how gentle movement practices like Pilates can support long-term healing.
This episode is ideal for anyone interested in women’s health, pelvic floor therapy, physical therapy, chronic pain relief, and holistic wellness, and for those seeking a more compassionate approach to health beyond weight and BMI.
