We cover common “beige flags” like GI issues (IBS, bloating, constipation/diarrhea cycles, gastroparesis), bladder symptoms (chronic UTIs, straining to pee), and unexplained pelvic or low back pain. We also touch on tension patterns (like teeth grinding) and conditions like endometriosis and hypermobility. This episode highlights how pelvic floor therapy can fit into a bigger picture approach alongside POTS care, GI support, and mental health. If you feel like your symptoms aren’t fully adding up, this might be a missing piece.
