REWIND // Doing all the pelvic floor work and still symptomatic? Your hips might be the missing piece — DR. ALISON GRIMALDI

This is the single most-downloaded episode in Active Mom history, and most of you who joined in the last two years have never heard it. Grimaldi connects hip strength and stability to the pelvic floor symptoms women keep chasing in isolation. If you’ve been faithfully doing your pelvic floor work without the result you expected, this reframes where to look.

Today I speak with Dr. Aliso Grimaldi, an expert in the management of hip, groin and lumbo-pelvic pain and dysfunction. She is also Principal Physiotherapist at Physiotec and an Adjunct Senior Research Fellow at the University of Queensland. Because of her interest in the assessment and optimisation of lumbo-pelvic and lower limb biomechanics, Alison has collaborated with the European Space Agency on research. Alison is passionate about understanding why we develop problems around the hip and pelvis, and what we can do to most effectively prevent and manage these problems. 

We  talk about:

-establishing collaborative care

-relationship between pelvic floor & hip

-strengthening the pelvic floor

-stress incontinence

-using real time ultrasound

-“ban the clam”
