| 0:00.0 | Pelvic floor therapy is a treatment for certain types of problems that relate to the pelvic floor. |
| 0:07.4 | Everyone has a pelvic floor and it helps to support our urinary and reproductive tracts. |
| 0:14.5 | In women, the pelvic floor keeps your bladder in place and in front of the vagina and the rectum in the back. The uterus is held in place at the |
| 0:24.0 | top of the pelvic floor by muscles, tendons, and connective tissue. In men, the pelvic floor |
| 0:30.4 | helps to keep the bowels, bladder, urethra, and rectum all in the correct place. The problem is we're not talking about the pelvic floor, |
| 0:41.0 | even though it has major impact on our ability to normally urinate and defecate, |

| 1:38.0 | and we talk about all things, reproduction, women's health, childbirth, talk a little bit of men's health. |
| 1:46.5 | But again, I'm interviewing Dr. Sarah Reardon, the vagina whisperer. |
| 1:51.1 | This is The Lindsay Elmore Show. |

| 2:10.0 | tangible tips and tricks that allow you to live your healthiest life so you can pursue your |
