Find out what everyone should know about the muscles of the pelvic floor, how it is connected to the rest of the body, how it changes during pregnancy and birth and as well as when we age. The topic of diastasis recti will also be discussed.
Dr. Kenael Segal graduated from Rutgers University with a doctoral degree in physical therapy and an intense passion for helping women heal their bodies. She has experience treating a wide variety of patients as young as a few months old to as “wise” as 92. She has treated and continues to treat the typical orthopedic conditions as well as a host of many other conditions including gait and balance disorders, Parkinson’s Disease, chronic regional pain syndrome, multiple sclerosis, fibroymalagia, pelvic pain, and developmental delays. As rewarding as it is to treat such a variety of patients and conditions, treating women, specifically prenatal and postpartum conditions, has become somewhat of an obsession. In addition to a doctorate, Kenael has pursued additional course work specifically addressing conditions such as pregnancy and postpartum care, pelvic floor, and spinal conditions.
When not working, Kenael is a busy mama of two beautiful children, wife, and “Jack of all trades,” as described by some that know her. She enjoys the outdoors, gardening, yoga, painting, and most recently, woodworking. As a “holistic mama,” she is passionate about providing the healthiest, homegrown and homemade foods, body, and household products for the family.
