Podcast naBOSo Walking, Movement and Health

Physiotherapist Klára Vomáčková speaks openly about women’s health – from the pelvic floor and cycles to diastasis and the impact of barefoot on the whole body.

Today’s conversation is about topics that affect (almost) every woman – yet we often don’t know enough about them, feel embarrassed to ask, or simply ignore them for years. We’re talking with physiotherapist Mgr. Klára Vomáčková from Fit and tasty, who specialises in women’s physiotherapy, the pelvic floor, diastasis and overall body care before and after birth. We’ll also open up topics such as painful periods, the menopause, endometriosis, and why you don’t go to a physiotherapist only “when something hurts”.

Klára has a gift for talking about the body with ease, perspective and huge respect. She explains why we’re not just bones and muscles, but a complex system where everything affects everything else – from your feet all the way to your pelvis. You’ll also hear why pelvic floor education should start at primary school, and what barefoot has to do with women’s health.

So get comfortable – and maybe even take your shoes off while you listen.
