Your bones, muscles, and pelvic floor are constantly changing, responding to hormones, stress, sleep, movement, and nutrition. Most women do not think about these systems until something hurts or stops working the way it used to. This episode connects the dots so you can understand how your support system actually functions, what strengthens it, what weakens it, and what is treatable instead of “just part of getting older.”

Dr. Amanda is an experienced Doctor of Physical Therapy, specializes in pelvic health with a focus on hormone-driven conditions and complex pain presentations. After earning her Bachelor of Science degree from Sacred Heart University and her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from the University of Massachusetts Lowell, she pursued pediatric and orthopedic conditions before specializing in pelvic health. She has advanced certifications in Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM), Muscle Energy techniques for the Pelvis and Sacrum, and training through the Herman & Wallace series for Pelvic Floor Pain & Dysfunction. Her personal journey with a decade of undiagnosed, hormone-mediated vestibulodynia pushed her to address conditions like painful sex in younger populations often overlooked in current research.

Dr. Nancy E. Lane is a Professor of Medicine and Rheumatology and inaugural director of the Center for Musculoskeletal Health at U. C. Davis Health and the University of California School. Of Medicine at Davis, California. Dr. Lane has spent the past 35 years investigating the epidemiology of hip and knee osteoarthritis, including genetic epidemiology, and has performed a number of novel phase II clinical trials for potential treatments for osteoarthritis of the hip and knee, including the phase II trial of tanezumab for painful knee OA. Dr.Lane's earliest work determined that older runners, who had not had knee injuries, could safely jog, without damaging their knees leading to one of the first studies of exercise and knee OA. Dr. Lane and her mentor at Stanford also determined that regular exercise prolonged lifespan in older individuals. Dr.Lane received a K23 mid-mentoring award for 12 years from the NIH to mentor junior faculty in musculoskeletal diseases.
