About this episode
If you’ve ever felt like your body “should be better by now”… this episode is for you.
One of the biggest frustrations women experience when working on their pelvic floor and core is feeling like they’re not making progress fast enough — especially when symptoms like leaking, pressure, or discomfort don’t disappear overnight.
But here’s the truth: healing is not linear.
In this episode, Dr. Des breaks down what real pelvic floor progress actually looks like, why symptom fluctuations are normal, and how to recognize the signs that your body is improving — even if it doesn’t feel like it yet.
If you’ve been feeling stuck, discouraged, or unsure if what you’re doing is working, this conversation will help you shift your perspective and rebuild confidence in your body and your healing process.
In This Episode, We Explore:
Why pelvic floor healing is not a straight line
The difference between symptom elimination and true progress
Signs your body is improving that most women overlook
Why flare-ups don’t mean you’ve gone backwards
How to build strength and resilience over time
The role of consistency, patience, and proper progression
Why This Matters
So many women quit too early — not because their body isn’t capable of healing, but because they don’t realize what progress actually looks like.
When you understand how your body adapts and improves, you can move forward with more confidence, less frustration, and better results.
