"We don't talk about it enough": Perceptions of pelvic health among postpartum women in rural communities.

Innovative strategies are needed to support postpartum women's pelvic health within rural communities. Primary care providers may benefit from the development of "quick tips" by specialists, such as women's health physical therapists, to optimize pelvic health discussions with their postpartum patients. Education interventions targeted toward postpartum women in rural communities should focus on strategies that address the geographic barriers identified while still providing individualized care. Options, such as webinars, telehealth, and text message interventions, could be considered.
