In the eighth of our ‘Reflection Series’, host Matt Phillips is joined by Physiotherapist Emily Sweet, who reflects on Ep. 229 ‘Pregnancy Related Back and Pelvic Pain’ that was recorded earlier in February this year, with special guest Michelle Lyons.

Emily shares how the episode with Michelle Lyons played a hugely important part in giving her the confidence when working with pregnant women, providing valuable tips and insights on assessing & managing pregnancy related back & pelvic pain. Emily reminds us of the many common misconceptions, and how important it is to offer hope and reassurance to expectant mothers. Discover the importance of reflection, collaboration, and the role of massage therapy in supporting pregnant women. Tune in for an informative and engaging discussion that empowers both therapists and patients.
