Studies show that 30% of all women have problems with pain in the pelvic floor.
Fascia, the pelvic floor, and common women's issues we don't really talk about
Studies show that 30% of all women have problems with pain in the pelvic floor. Incontinence, endometriosis, prolapse, and general pain are much more common than many might think.
But why? What does tension in the perineum mean? What role does the pelvic floor play in the function of the entire body? And how are these issues connected to stress, the menstrual cycle, and what it's like to be a woman in the 2020s?
Participants in the episode are Axel Bohlin, Hans Bohlin, and Hanna Ålander

The Fascia Guide: About the body, new research, and a changed perspective on health, aches, and pain
The Fascia Guide is a podcast about the body, new research, and a changed perspective on health, aches, and pain.
The main series, The Fascia Guide, began as a conversation between Hans & Axel Bohlin and Per Johansson, Doctor of Human Ecology & Historian of Ideas, and it is about our relationship to the body, about perspectives and paradigms, about new research & its consequences, and about the history of ideas & how we have come to view the body as we do today.
The Childbirth theme was recorded together with midwife Cayenne Ekjordh and is about childbirth, pregnancy, and all the consequences that come from how life gets its start.
The Fascia in everyday life theme is about, among other things, the immune system, the lymphatic system, nutrition, supplements, movement, and exercise. The host is Axel Bohlin and guests are Camilla Ranje Nordin, Teacher in Fascia Knowledge & Fascia Treatment, and Fascia Therapist Ivar Bohlin.
The Fascia & Research theme is an initiative that came about after Camilla Ranje Nordin has now read over 2000 research reports, numerous books, and watched countless lectures on Fascia. Together with Hans & Axel Bohlin, the latest research is dissected and questions from listeners are answered.
