In this episode, Dr. Laura and Dr. Beth welcome their guest, Dr. Kate Bacigalupo, PT, hypermobility specialist and co-founder of the Elements Collective, for a powerful conversation about the often-overlooked connection between scoliosis and hypermobility.

Dr. Kate shares how her career began with a single patient with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), which has shaped her clinical focus for the past decade. Now she bridges the gap between connective tissue disorders, chronic pain, pelvic health, and scoliosis care.

Join Dr. Laura and Dr. Beth as they discuss pelvic organ prolapse, what it is, and how to manage it with special guest expert Dr. Margo. Together, they discuss why symptoms like heaviness or back pain happen, the role of genetics, why lifting weights can actually be protective of developing prolapse and why proper pressure management and core coordination matter.

If you move with intention, you are an athlete. In this episode, Dr. Beth and Dr. Laura get personal about what it really looks like to train as athletes with scoliosis and spinal fusion.

From Olympic weightlifting to triathlon racing, Beth and Laura share how they support their spines while pursuing demanding athletic goals—and why scoliosis or fusion doesn’t automatically mean you have to stop doing the sports you love.
