About Susan Winograd

Susan is the owner and founder of Pelvicore Rehab & Wellness. Susan earned a masters degree from the College of Staten Island in 1998. During her almost 30 years of experience, she has gained extensive knowledge in the treatment of various populations such as orthopedics, manual therapy, geriatrics, pediatrics and men/women's pelvic dysfunction and treatment of the pregnant and postpartum women.

Is bladder leakage normal? Are Kegels really the gold standard? And what exactly is your pelvic floor doing for you every day—whether you’re pregnant, postnatal, or neither?

In this eye-opening episode of the Crackin’ Backs Podcast, we sit down with Susan Winograd, MSPT, a pioneering pelvic floor physical therapist who turned one painful moment during her own pregnancy into a mission that’s helped thousands reclaim their health, strength, and dignity.

With over 25 years of clinical experience, Susan breaks down what the pelvic floor actually does, why it’s essential to understand its five key functions, and why ignoring common symptoms like leakage, low back pain, or core weakness could be your body’s version of a flashing “check engine” light.

But it doesn’t stop there. Susan challenges outdated advice and explains why Kegels aren’t a one-size-fits-all fix—revealing powerful, science-backed alternatives and techniques that most people (and even doctors!) don’t know about. You’ll also learn about her revolutionary Five Pillars of Pelvic Floor Health and which pillar is most commonly neglected.

We also tackle the myth that pelvic floor issues are “just a women’s thing,” and explore how better training for providers can close the gap in care that leaves so many suffering in silence.
