Red Light Therapy for Women’s Pelvic Health
Ever wish someone would create a pelvic health tool that actually understands women’s bodies? Well, in this week’s episode, we’re talking about a red light therapy wand designed by women, for women. And not just any women - pelvic floor physical therapists who know exactly what’s going on down there postpartum, during menopause, and everywhere in between.
I’m joined by the amazing Liz Frey, a seasoned pelvic health physiotherapist from Ontario, Canada, who helped develop one of the most exciting innovations I’ve seen in women's health: a red light wand that combines red, near-infrared, and blue light (yes, all three!), gentle vibration, and thoughtful design that’s as functional as it is safe and non-intimidating. Whether you’re healing from birth, dealing with dryness or pain, working through pelvic floor issues, or just curious about how light therapy can support fertility, this episode is packed with “why didn’t I know this sooner?” moments.
Liz breaks down exactly why different wavelengths matter, how this device supports collagen production, lubrication, circulation, and even helps modulate inflammation, especially important for women navigating endo, postpartum healing, and fertility struggles. Plus, we talk about how light therapy is being explored for things like UTIs, Group B Strep, and even C-section scars. And spoiler alert? It’s never too late to start. Liz shares her own story of seeing real results - even ten years postpartum.
So if you’re ready to get the scoop on the pelvic wand women are raving about (yep, including me!), tune in - you’re going to love this one.
