Summary

Gynecological surgeries are extremely common. More 600,000 women get a hysterectomy each year in the US alone, and more than one-third of women will have had one by age 60. And often a woman is told that she’s “good to go” after a few weeks, when in reality, when it comes to her sport, she’s anything but, and she can struggle for months–or longer–because no one properly helped her rehab to return to powerlifting, doing double-unders, running 13 miles, or many of the activities we take for granted as part of regular life. That’s where this week’s guest, Dr. Jocelyn Wallace comes in. Using her professional as well as personal experience, Jocelyn devotes her practice to helping women rebuild strength after surgery and bridge the gap back to their active and athletic lives without prolapse, pain, or peeing themselves. We talk all about her work there as well as dealing with common pelvic health concerns, especially pain and incontinence.

Jocelyn Wallace, PT, DPT, CF-L2 is a pelvic health physical therapist who helps women get back to the things they love after gynecological surgeries, specializing in hysterectomy, myomectomy, and excision surgery recovery. She has firsthand experience navigating recovery as an athlete, having her first open myomectomy a few weeks after her first powerlifting meet. After seeing how little support is given to women after major abdominal surgery, she vowed to fill that gap. Since then, she has had 2 more abdominal surgeries, with 54 fibroids removed, and is a Level 2 CrossFit Trainer, combining the skillsets of physio + fitness to help women fully return to their active lives. You can learn more about her and her work at drjocelynwallace.com.

0:00.0	You are listening to Hit Play, Not Pause, a feisty menopause podcast for active performance-minded women.
0:14.6	I am your host, Celine Yeager. Each week, I bring you advice from athletes, scientists, researchers, and other experts to help you feel and perform your best no matter what your hormones are doing.
0:25.0	This show is a production of Live Feisty Media.
0:30.8	Hello, strong, feisty women.
0:33.4	I hope you all are well.
0:35.7	So today, we're actually going to talk about something that I really
0:39.5	knew very little about before recording this show. And honestly, I should know more about, namely
0:45.7	how to get back to sport after gynecological surgery like hysterectomy or myomectomy or one of those
0:52.6	uterine surgeries, because they are extremely common.
0:57.4	In fact, hysterectomy alone, more than one third of women in the U.S. will have had one before age 60.
1:04.8	And way too often, doctors don't understand that, quote-unquote, regular life looks different for active or athletic women
1:12.5	than it does for the general population. So they'll say, you're good to go after a few weeks
1:18.4	and reality, you're not good to go when where you're going is power lifting or doing some
1:25.0	kipping pull-ups and double unders or trail running 10 miles.
1:28.3	And if you try to get back to your regular life without proper rehab, it can be a real struggle,
1:34.3	which is where this week's guest, Dr. Jocelyn Wallace, comes in.
1:38.3	As a powerlifter and CrossFit athlete herself, who has also had multiple gynecological surgeries,
1:46.0	as well as being a pelvic health physical therapist, Jocelyn has devoted her professional
1:51.3	life to helping women rebuild strength after surgery and bridge that gap back to their active
1:57.4	and athletic lives. Or as she says on her website, we get you moving after
2:02.4	surgery without prolapse, pain, or peeing yourself. And to that, I say, amen. I'm super grateful
2:09.4	that she came on and shared her wisdom with us in this conversation. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
