Charis welcomes Dr. Sara Reardon in conversation with Dr. Jessica Reale for a discussion of FLOORED: A Complete Guide to Women’s Pelvic Floor Health at Every Age and Stage, the definitive guide to pelvic floor health, written by pelvic floor physical therapist and creator of the Vagina Whisperer, Dr. Sara Reardon.

Too many women put up with pelvic floor discomfort, thinking their symptoms are "just part of motherhood and aging." And for far too long, the American healthcare system has normalized pelvic problems, leaving women feeling hopeless, ashamed and suffering in silence. Board-certified pelvic floor physical therapist Dr. Sara Reardon helps women prevent and overcome common pelvic floor issues so they can trust and enjoy their bodies again.

Floored is a rallying cry for women's health and the authoritative guide for the pelvic floor, a critical group of muscles involved in day-to-day functions from peeing and pooping and sex and childbirth to menstruation and menopause. Whether you're navigating postpartum recovery, seeking relief from urinary incontinence or aiming to enhance sexual pleasure, this comprehensive resource provides the insights and strategies every woman needs. Inside the pages of this book, you will find:

Education on pelvic floor anatomy and its critical role in your overall health.
Practical advice for pelvic floor self-assessment and signs of potential issues.
Exercises to strengthen, rehabilitate and maintain pelvic floor health across different life stages.
Tips for treating common pelvic floor symptoms, such as involuntary urine leakage and painful sex.

With clear and engaging guidance, Dr. Reardon demystifies the complexities of pelvic floor care and provides everything you need to ensure your pelvic well-being. The time to take control of your pelvic health is now.
