From the myth that everyone should be doing Kegels to the reality that pelvic floor dysfunction isn’t one-size-fits-all, they unpack how viral “quick fixes” often miss the mark. Alicia explains why some people actually need to relax—not strengthen—their pelvic floor, and how individualized assessment is key. They also dive into the rise of social media education, the benefits (and limits) of at-home tools, and why even well-meaning advice from providers or the internet can lead to harm without proper context. If you’ve ever been told to “just do Kegels,” this episode will change the way you think about pelvic health.
