About this Consult:
Chelsea is a Personal Trainer, gym owner, and mom of two children under four years of age.
She has had stress urinary incontinence since the birth of her first, in which she sustained third degree tearing. She also experienced painful intercourse.
Chelsea sought out a Pelvic Health Physiotherapist who performed painful pelvic floor muscle release techniques on her hypertonic (tight, overactive) pelvic floor.
She saw a second Physiotherapist who disagreed with the use of these techniques and suggested relaxation techniques and stretches.
Chelsea was terrified going into her second pregnancy, but had a very positive birth experience.
Chelsea opened her gym when she was 4 weeks post partum with her second. She now manages 15 staff in addition to daily operations at her gym. At this stage things are improving – she had a Diastasis she is not too concerned.
Chelsea’s goals are to be able to skip and box jump without leaking again, as well as help decrease her fear around intercourse.
What does Chelsea think about her core and pelvic floor while she’s working out?
How does Antony help increase her number of symptom-free skips?

What Will I Learn By Watching This Consult?
By watching the consult, you’ll see the kind of questions to ask your clients. You’ll see modelled how to go through the assessment process and how to partner with your clients instead of telling them what to do.
Most importantly, you’ll learn how to apply these principles in your own practice. It’s an awesome way to get a different learning experience, rather than just knowledge – like someone speaking over powerpoint slides. It’s like you’re there with Antony, watching him work with someone just like your clients and being able to reflect and ask questions about the consult.
