Painful periods, irregular periods, and urinary incontinence (among other things) are common issues for many women, but they aren’t normal.
Larissa Tutert is back to talk about pelvic health – this time for youth female athletes.
Though the subject is often taboo, especially for young girls, Larissa takes us through the importance of pelvic health and the concerns that young female athletes may face, especially during puberty. She also shares advice on why and how parents, coaches, trainers, and health care practitioners should talk to youth about pelvic health.
