#8 Pelvic floor dysfunction in athletes “common, but not normal” with physiotherapist and CrossFit coach TJ Garcia

By Joslyn Thompson Rule

In this episode, I speak with physiotherapist and Crossfit Level 1 coach and athlete TJ Garcia about pelvic floor dysfunction in men and women and its effects, specifically on athletes. TJ spends her time delivering workshops with her partner, to coaches around Spain on how to train athletes with a weak or hypertonic pelvic floor. TJ says that many people think having a weak pelvic floor is normal, she disagrees and says it is just common. Here in the UK there is very little information on the pelvic floor care and the awareness that we can actually do something about it. TJ and I are working on bringing her and Vero to the UK to deliver their workshop to coaches on this really important topic, so stay tuned for that.
