In this episode, Jimmy enjoys a New Belgium Accumulation IPA and a chat with Julie Wiebe, PT, MPT, BSc about that thing down there… the thing we all shy away from: the pelvic floor.
“Incurably curious” therapist Julie Wiebe specializes in returning women to fitness after injury and pregnancy, and advocating for pelvic health awareness in the fitness realm. Her blog, videos, and social media platforms promote knowledge of innovative solutions for women, and her online or DVD educational programs provide evidence-based, integrative approaches to professionals and individuals internationally.
