On Episode 65 of The Healthy Charleston Podcast, I am excited to be joined by Dr. Met Henderson. Meg is a physical therapist who specializes in women’s health particular postpartum. We get into a lot of topics and yes go on some tangents!!! But there is really great advice loaded in here including things to look for when determining if a woman is healthy after giving birth to a child. What is healthy in general for women. What are some warning signs to watch out for and when to seek help.  Dr. Meg was kind enough to share her knowledge of this field with us on today's episode. Meg wants women to thrive, be strong, perform their best!!! And shows us that the knowledge and tolls are out there...you just have to know where to look!!!
