Meet the host
I’m a physical therapist who specializes in pelvic health dysfunction for women, and I’ve been in your shoes.
I suffered from chronic pelvic pain for over 5 years that impacted my personal, private, and professional life. I understand the frustration of generic answers and standardized care that leaves you feeling hopeless and more alone than when you started. I was initially interested in the pelvic health field as I was dealing with my own pelvic health dysfunction. Now I’m excited to help others stop suffering in silence and gain the tools they need so they can also overcome their pelvic health dysfunction. I opened Marrón Pelvic Health to give you hope and find answers tailored for you.
If you are ready to discover new things about your pelvic health, from a pelvic health physical therapist and feel hopeful that you can overcome your pelvic health issue, you have come to the right place!
We really hope you enjoy the podcast.
