5 Lessons from Buying a House
00:41:44
Sometimes we talk clinical. Sometimes we talk business. And sometimes we talk about life, which affects both. In this 'sode we talk about lessons we learned (or were reminded of) in buying a house that can apply to any of our situations.
Ultimately we want each of you to be able to live and thrive in whatever life you choose. Too often we follow the advice or expectations of our society, our family or our peers instead of charting the course that will ultimately be best for us. Hope you enjoy!

Pelvic Floor Assessment - Are We Choosing the Wrong Anchor?
00:23:47
How do we avoid going down the wrong road with a patient after their evaluation and assessment?
This was prompted by a question in the Huddle regarding how we evaluate pelvic floor strength in patients. Many of you said you only do it because it helps with getting insurance reimbursement. But it's really, really hard not to allow that information to cloud your plan of care!
In this 'sode we talk about the 'anchor bias' - the tendency of the mind to over-focus and rely too heavily on a single piece of information. There are several ways this can affect pelvic floor therapists, including:
An arbitrary 'strength' measurement taken during the evaluation
Relying on a medical diagnosis
Focusing more on their initial primary symptom rather than looking at the whole picture
The information we gather is 'sticky' in our minds, and it's hard - even if we know the information is extraneous - to not allow it to affect our actions.
Enjoy the 'sode!

We all inherently feel evaluating a patient's max contraction in a supine position isn't an accurate picture of their functional pelvic floor strength. But we're afraid to challenge what we've been taught, or unsure about what to replace it with.
This 'sode was prompted by a quote in a review article. It states: "Considering this, it does not seem that our interventions have changed that much in the last 80 years..."
What other industry hasn't had drastic, earth-shaking changes in the last 80 years?
We've been talking over the last few months about how we can change up the old, Kegel-based strengthening approach to pelvic health.

If you knew you only had one more session with your patient, what would you choose to do in your session? What would you focus on? What would you send them home with?
One of the biggest challenges with research is we're usually basically asking 'is this intervention better than nothing?'
Is this pain medication better than a sugar pill?
Is guided biofeedback better than just getting a paper handout?
Is an isolated Kegel strengthening program better than general exercise?
But in reality, those aren't the only options patients have.
In fact, they have hundreds of options and combinations available.
And our job is not to just 'do something that works', but to figure out what the BEST use of our time with patients can be.
That's exactly what we're doing with the Pelvic Floor Strengthening course - trying to move beyond something that 'works' to get to what is truly best practices for our patients. Make sure to get on the wait list (www.pelvicptrising.com/kegels) to get all the information and early bird access!

Our website is often overlooked when we think about marketing and conversion. We want to take meetings, do workshops, run ads, meet other practitioners, ask for referrals. But what if our website is turning away potential patients who want to work with us?
In this Business Shorty we dive into the 5 ways your website can be letting you down:
It doesn't tell patients where you are
It doesn't tell patients what you do
Your calls to action are confusing, weak or absent
Your website is filled with distracting content
Your language is either vague or overly technical
We've now reviewed hundreds of pelvic health websites. All of them have made at least one - and most several - of these mistakes. If you'd like help in your business journey, check out our Business Resource page (www.pelvicptrising.com/business).

Pelvic PT 2.0: Moving Beyond the Isolationist Approach
00:38:13
How do we move into the next stage of pelvic health?
In this 'sode we introduce the Essential Pelvic Strengthening course and explain why it's so important to move beyond an isolationist approach to the Adaptive Strength Approach (TM).
Over the last 80 years the pelvic health field has been focusing on getting more and more efficient at isolating the pelvic floor. But what if there's a completely different way to treat?
One that is more functional. More individualized. Acknowledges the pelvic floor works within a broader system.
At our core, all of us recognize we want to be treating in a more functional, individualized way. But we don't have the tools, system or framework to actually make it happen.
Many of you know I've spent the last six months (or my entire career, depending on how you look at it) preparing a course helping us to rethink how we strengthen the pelvic floor.

We know how hard it can be to change and get out of your comfort zone. There will be a new learning curve. Growth is difficult!
That's why we actually added a whole module in the course about 'how do I ACTUALLY implement this new information and make it stick?' We foresee some of the challenges and help guide you through them!

When and how should we be doing functional assessments in standing, quadruped, bridging, during exercises, etc.?
I think we would all agree we should be assessing the pelvic floor in functional positions. Just like an ortho PT watches to assess how their patient is doing an exercise, except we can't 'see' what the pelvic floor is doing without our own assessment.
But if we all acknowledge we should be assessing the pelvic floor functionally, why is it just not being done?
In this 'sode we discussing standing and functional evaluations and the barriers in the way of treating the way we say we want to treat.

Adaptive vs Isolationist Strengthening: Which Is Better For My Patient?
00:32:01
One of the most common questions we've gotten is "what is an Adaptive Strengthening Approach, anyway?" It's a term we introduce and teach about in the Essential Pelvic Strengthening: Not Your Mama's Kegels course, but wanted to give the overview here!

10 Things We're Proud Of (Special 200th 'Sode Edition)
00:33:54
Is it hard for you to be proud of yourself? Or at least to say that you're proud of yourself? All too often we struggle to articulate what we're proud of!
Looking back at how far we've come is so important. We can take lessons and motivation from where we've been. One of the most impactful exercises we had with our Pelvic PT Rising Business Mentorship Retreat was asking that very question - "what are you most proud of?"
Despite being kick-ass business owners and awesome clinicians, many of us struggle to be able to answer such a simple question. While we could have gone around and said 5 different things we were proud of for them, it was hard for many to say it about themselves.
So in this special, 200th 'sode of the Pelvic PT Rising Podcast, we wanted to model that and talk about some of the things we're most proud of since starting this podcast and the Pelvic PT Rising business. Enjoy, and looking forward to the next 200 'sodes with you all - so grateful for every person who listens, comments, reviews or reaches out about our 'sodes!

In this 'sode we start to explore the problem of student loan debt, stagnant wages and how our profession came to our current troubles.
So many of us graduate with huge student loan debts and no feasible plan to repay them in a reasonable amount of time. Our wages certainly haven't caught up with the cost of our education.
There's one primary reason why - insurance companies dictate how much we are able to make in this field. Check out this 'sode if you're struggling with student loan debt as we explore the major factors shaping our field.

Should we really be expecting our patients to improve in 6-8 visits? Especially when we often believe there's no such thing as a 'simple' pelvic floor patient?
This 'sode was sparked by a great listener question about how all the 'case studies' in her con-ed courses talked about getting patients better in 8 visits.
But is that actually realistic? Where does the idea of getting a patient better as soon as possible come from?
What if we started judging ourselves not by how quickly we get a patient 'better', but by how much better we actually get them?

Freedom from Student Loan Debt: An Interview with Travis Hornsby of Student Loan Planner
00:51:49
Student loan debt can feel crippling. We can postpone marriages and starting a family, saving for retirement, buying a home, working at a job we don't love....all because of our loans.
We wanted to bring on a true expert in student loan relief, Travis Hornsby, to answer questions about student loans, reframe how we think about them, and give you a new resource if you're struggling.
The mindset shift from 'crushing student loan debt' to a tax on your income in this 'sode is empowering and there are so many loopholes to take advantage of!
Student Loan Planner & Travis Hornsby
The team at Student Loan Planner, founded by Travis, works exclusively with student loan debt. They offer 1:1 consultations on your specific situation, so if you're struggling with your student loans or aren't sure about your course, make sure to check them out (www.studentloanplanner.com/rising).
We love how transparent they are about pricing and how they aren't incentivized to sell you a bunch of stuff you don't need - just honest, expert advice.
They're doing a special offer for Rising listeners, giving an extra six months of email support (for a total of 12 months) after your call if you have follow-up questions or issues.
Travis Hornsby the founder of Student Loan Planner, which he launched after helping his physician wife navigate ridiculously complex student loan repayment decisions. To date, Student Loan Planner has consulted on over $1 billion in student debt. Travis is a Chartered Financial Analyst and brings his background as a former bond trader trading billions of dollars.
He brings that same intensity to analyzing the best repayment paths for graduate degree professionals with six figures of student debt.

I want every pelvic rehab practitioner to be really happy where they practice! We have so many more opportunities and options than when I was starting out in the field.
Sometimes we get tunnel vision and make decisions just for financial reasons. But often that leaves is working in a place we don't love with types of patients we don't enjoy.
In this 'sode we go through the different things you should be considering when you make your decision about where you work. If you're already working someplace, how many of these are 'hits' for you? If you're looking for a new position, which of these is most important?
Make sure you're asking the right questions and finding a position where you can thrive, grow and enjoy coming to work each day!

How do we become more productive (especially when starting our own practice)? It's a huge challenge for many pelvic health professionals, and one of the first things we emphasize in the Pelvic PT Rising Business Mentorship Program.
There are lots of reasons we struggle with productivity:
We're used to a regimented job and being told what to do and when to do it
We have perfectionist tendencies that make it hard to be done
Our time is often broken into small chunks making it hard to focus
We don't know what to prioritize in our business

"Convincing" Patients to Come to a Cash-Based Clinic
00:30:01
Why would a patient ever want to spend money at a cash practice when they can use in-network insurance benefits? This question is the cornerstone of a successful cash practice.
Fantastic question from a Rising podcast listener. First thing is replacing the word 'convince' with 'provide information about their options.'
At the end up the day, getting a patient to come and see you in a cash practice depends on only two things. They are simple, but extremely hard to implement:
Provide better (or at least different) care
Communicate how your care is different
That's it! People will pay more for a Mercedes than a Kia even though both are cars. They'll pay more for a Louis Vutton bag than one they can pick up at Target. If they know there is a difference in quality people will pay for the better option when it comes to things they value.

Accepting Feedback as a Practitioner, Employee and Clinic Owner
00:13:41
How good are we at actually accepting feedback? Or criticism? How we handle these conversations has major implications for our relationships with patients, employers or our businesses.
In this 'sode we talk about how to stop, listen and actually process feedback instead of having a knee-jerk reaction against it. We give you some practical tools. And make sure you're not a "Yeah, but-er!".
Whether you're doing this as a practitioner, an employee or as a boss, this is a skill you can learn and improve!

How can we make better decisions in our job choices, our con-ed courses and/or our business? Often we get stuck in fear - afraid to change, afraid to make big decisions, afraid to have larger dreams for ourselves.
One way to break out of this is to think of your career decisions - as an employee, in Con-Ed, or as a business owner - as an investment.
When we invest, we're looking at two things: 1) what is the potential upside and 2) what is the risk?
This helps take the emotion out of our decisions and lets us dream bigger.
In this 'sode we discuss how using this lens of ROI (return on investment) can impact our decisions and help us break out of the status quo.

New IC Guidelines: A Unique Opportunity for Our Field!
00:27:43
The American Urological Association just announced new Guidelines for the treatment of interstitial cystitis. It's the first update in 7 years, and it's big for pelvic rehab professionals!
We basically have an entire category of treatment ("behavioral and non-pharmacological") that we are unique qualified to administer.
Among the highlights (and things we've been advocating for...
The AUA specifically calls out that Kegel exercises should not be done for patients with IC
Additional studies showing Elmiron has limited efficacy (or, in several trials, no efficacy at all) in treating IC over a placebo, as well as the chance for long-term eye damage
Acknowledging an elimination diet (and not the 'IC Diet') is the gold standard for nutritional care
If you're looking for the resource to go through all the physical therapy treatments, demonstrations of techniques on patients, medical management and everything you need to quarterback your patient's care, check out the IC: Holistic Evaluation & Treatment course! (www.pelvicptrising.com/ic)

We all make mistakes in business. It's inevitable. But you don't have to make all the mistakes yourself! And if you are making one of these, you can always make the changes you need.
We've worked with 150+ pelvic health practices, and here are some of the most common mistakes we see.
Many of these are present when you first start your business, but can persist for years within a practice. If any of these resonate with you, make sure to reach out and let us know!

You Won't HAVE Time In Your Business Until You MAKE Time in Your Business
00:32:18
Are you working more in your business than you'd like? Longer hours? Still thinking about things (or working on them) when you go home for the day?
Perhaps the biggest goal we hear from business owners in our Mentorship program is reclaiming their time. They started the business to have more time to spend with their family or doing what they love, but the day-to-day of the business has taken over their time.
We went through this at PelvicSanity for almost 4 years, and it took a global pandemic to shake us up and re-prioritize our time.
As business owners, one of our biggest myths is "this will get better when..."
I can hire another PT
I hire an admin
I've been in business for six months (or 1 year, or 5 years)
I do better marketing
I spend money on Google Ads
We've been through all the excuses. Things will get better when you make a concerted, focused effort on getting your time back. That's it. Hope you enjoy the 'sode - and if you're struggling with your time, let us know!

It may seem like a simple question, but it's something we often overlook. Does our patient really know that we can get them better?
Have we said it explicitly? "I can get you better....this is not your life....we've seen this before....we can help you...."
We often think we're saying this by telling them how everything is interconnected. That we've been able to reproduce their symptoms. That we have found things on the initial evaluation related to their complaints.
But does that actually translate to the patient understanding we can help?
And if we aren't doing this, why? Is it because we just forget when we get excited in their evaluation and are diving into the weeds? Is it because we aren't really confident we can help? Is it because of our philosophy (I'm just their coach, they will heal themselves...)?
If you are feeling conflicted about actually telling your patients "you will get better here," it's something we need to sit with, understand why, and take action on.
Because our patients deserve to know they have hope and are in the right place.

As both an employee and employer, it's important to realize there's no such thing as a perfect job. We want everyone working in pelvic health to be happy and content in their job!
A good match between a position and employee requires 1) self-awareness and 2) open communication. Usually this breaks down when either party doesn't truly understand what they value in a position. These can include:
Compensation
Management
Work Environment
Patient Population
Treatment Times
Documentation Time
Growth and Mentorship
Medical Benefits
401(k) or Retirement Plans
It's important to understand which of these are most important to you when selecting a job, and realizing a current position may not be 'perfect' on all these different factors!
For an employer, we need to recognize we can't be all things to all people. We need to be confident in what we offer (and what we don't). And when we aren't, we start making concessions and changes that don't benefit either us or our new employees!

What length of time is appropriate for an initial evaluation?
We really feel the minimum length for an eval is one hour. If you're in a setting where that isn't being provided it's something to fight for. Patients deserve to have the time to tell their story and still get a full evaluation on the first day.
When you have your own practice it can be tempting to further extend the evaluation to 90 minutes (or longer). We go through the business implications of a longer eval and ask the question "who are you doing that for?"

Case Report on Chronic Prostatitis: Assess, Don't Guess
00:31:51
In this case report of a patient with chronic prostatitis, we go through his case history and how he saw two pelvic PTs without relief.
The biggest common denominator? Not frequently conducting an internal pelvic floor assessment to actually assess what was going on. In fact, over the course of 20 visits this patient had an internal assessment twice. Twice!
So how often should we be performing an internal assessment? Is twice in a given session 'too much'? And why are we uncomfortable with the assess -> intervene -> reassess model we were taught in PT school when it comes to pelvic health?

How much clinical experience do you need to start a business? The answer might surprise you.
Many practitioners are held back from starting their own practice because they don't have 'enough' experience. But what does that mean? And does more experience mean more clinical success?
The answer is much more about confidence. And experience doesn't necessarily confer confidence. Check out the 'sode for our discussion on how much experience you need to start a practice (and how much is too much!).

Handling a Wait List (As An Employee or Biz Owner)

Many of us are dealing with more patients than we can handle. On one hand, this is great - a sign of our growing awareness and more patients getting the help they deserve. On the other it can be a source of stress and frustration for us (and a poor experience for some of our patients).
If you're an employee, how can you work within what you control to provide the best possible patient experience?
If you're a business owner, how do you balance the business and clinical considerations of having a wait list? We want you thinking about:
Your wait list is a good thing (yes, really!)
Prioritize your peeps
Create consistency in your patients' schedules
Book people further out
Don't knee-jerk into hiring just because you have a wait list!
And how do we handle a wait list while maintaining our clinical honesty with our patients? Check out the full 'sode!

Krystyna Holland Interview: What Do We Mean by "Trauma-Informed Care"?
00:58:03
What does 'trauma informed care' mean in actual practice?
It's a buzzword that we've all heard, but difficult to actually implement in practice. In this interview with Dr. Krystyna Holland, founder of Inclusive Care and PelviCon speaker, we discuss what it actually means to 'do no harm' for our patients and always be improving.
Trauma informed and inclusive care are more a process than a final result. We can always be better, and it starts with checking our egos at the door!
We also introduce Krystyna's topics for PelviCon in this interview as well - so excited to have her joining us! She'll be talking about...
Affirming Language and Communication in Pelvic Health Care
Trauma Informed Care: Principles and Best Practices

Juan Michelle Martin Interview: Birth is Not a Disease Process
00:54:52
How can we make birth better for our pregnant patients? And deal better with post-partum care?
In this interview with Juan Michelle Martin, founder of JMM Solutions and PelviCon speaker, we discuss how our medical system treats birth as a disease process.
With her background as both a pelvic PT and as a doula, Juan is passionate about changing the way we treat patients as they prepare for pregnancy and immediately after delivery.
We're so excited for Juan to bring her expertise to PelviCon, and we're announcing her topics below!

How do we make decisions consistent with our values, and not out of fear?
In creating a new resource for you pelvic health 'wannabes' (we were all there once!), we realized one of the biggest reasons we make mistakes is because we give in to our fears.
Starting a mobile practice when we want to have a brick & mortar. Taking some insurance because we're afraid we can't get patients in our community. Setting our prices too low. Doing a side hustle when you don't really need to. Hiring independent contractors instead of employees - or not hiring at all.
The first step is identifying when we are fearful (fear can masquerade as wisdom or prudence).
And then we need to move beyond it towards our vision for our future. One of the best questions to ask..."What decision would I make if success were guaranteed?"
Pelvic Health Practice Plan Course
For those 'wannabes' out there, make sure to check out the Pelvic Health Practice Plan course! Designed to help you identify what your vision really is and start your practice confidently, it's the guide to keep you on track as you start your own practice.

Are we still using the biceps analogy for the pelvic floor? Trying to explain the length-tension relationship? There's a better way!
In the Essential Pelvic Strengthening: Not Your Mama's Kegels course I teach we should be explaining the pelvic floor more as a trampoline.
It's a more nuanced analogy that helps explain resting tone, how important the surrounding structure is, and how the pelvic floor behaves in a more involuntary fashion.
Check out the 'sode for why I think it's a better analogy for ourselves and our patients!
Essential Pelvic Strengthening
If you'd like to learn more about how the pelvic floor is much more like a trampoline - along with standing assessments, how to make ANY exercise a pelvic floor exercise, and move beyond just an Isolationist (Kegel-based) approach - make sure to check out the Essential Pelvic Strengthening (www.pelvicptrising.com/kegels).

As The Vagina Whisperer, Sara has done an amazing job creating a personal brand, educating patients and advocating for our field.
In this inspiring interview we dive into her clinical philosophy, her business journey and how she's managed to create an authentic personal brand that resonates.
Love how passionate she is about helping moms in the early postpartum phase. There's so much more we can do to support our patients.

Are you doing all three types of downtraining with your patient?
We often have a hazy understanding of what 'downtraining' really is. Did you know there wasn't even a formal definition of it?
In this 'sode we define downtraining and the three different types. By using them together (and knowing which one to prioritize) we can get our patients better, faster.
And actually be speaking the same language when we talk about downtraining!

How do we take responsibility for the success of our patients? Should we take responsibility?
In this 'sode we discuss the unique position we have as pelvic healthcare providers to help our patients. We have the time to spend with them to really see and understand their situation. To watch them grow. To progress over time.
This is time the traditional healthcare system doesn't give. Most physician appointments last less than 15 minutes. A patient is interrupted after an average of 11 seconds.
We have the ability to be the 'quarterback' of our patient's care. To be their trusted resource throughout their healing journey.
So how do we do this? Listen and find out (and make sure to subscribe and give us a rating/review - it really helps others find the podcast!).

How do we take more responsibility for our patient outcomes and use our doctorate level education?
We know we're uniquely qualified to see the big picture for our patients. Spend time with them. Understand their journey. Treat them holistically. Really use our doctorate-level education.
Are we actually (or should we be) primary care providers for pelvic health issues?
I believe we should be if we want to be providing the best possible care for our patients. That doesn't mean stepping outside our scope of practice. But it does mean helping guide our patients.
And in order to do that, we have to KNOW what the options are! Be the trusted resource for all the questions our patient has. That's why we're so excited for the upcoming Medical Procedures for Pelvic Pain Masterclass! (Details below!)

Heather Jeffcoat: Female Sexual Function and Dysfunction

Michelle Lyons: That Pelvis Is Attached To A Whole Person
01:07:19
How do we treat more holistically? Recognizing the pelvic floor - while incredibly important - is still just a part of a whole person.
An example: pain is both a sensory and emotional issue. If we ignore either aspect, we can't treat the whole person.
In this incredible interview with Michelle Lyons we talk about her clinical philosophy, how to have a more holistic view of our patients, why anatomy is the 'map' to guide your care, and more clinical pearls.
And we announce her PelviCon topics! So excited to have Michelle teaching about:
Intersection of Bowel Health and Womens Health
Polyvagal Approach to Pelvic Pain

Case Report: Dealing with Skeptical or Challenging Patients
00:22:13
What do you do when you have a patient who doesn't believe you can help?
Many times these are the patients we end up thinking about when we go home at night. Or over our lunch break. Or even during our next patient.
They can make us feel inadequate, sap our energy or cause us to replay conversations in our heads.
"What do I say in order to convince them I can help?"
Many of these patients have very valid reasons to be skeptical. Their emotions can range from anger to depression to "yeah, but...ing" So what do we do?
Take our ego out of it. It's not about us, and we don't have to be right and win.
Stop talking. There's nothing you can say to change someone's mind.
Show them a change. Help them to see a change. Focus on 1-2 things. Demonstrate a change in the session and help them to see it.
Have any patients like this? Any challenges or thoughts? Let us know!

In this case report from a male patient who scheduled a remote consultation, my biggest takeaway was the lack of functional assessment he had received.
He was dealing with pelvic pain, urinary urgency/frequency, post-void dribbling, incontinence during exercise and pain with sitting.
While he had been to two different pelvic PTs, and did have minor improvements, his life was still very different. Normally an avid runner, he had cut running out completely (after usually doing 70-80 miles a week). Sitting caused such pain he switched to a standing desk, without actually addressing his underlying issues.
In talking with him, together we saw five different areas where a more functional assessment and treatment could (and I would argue, should) have been done. Hope you enjoy this case report!

It's a question we're inevitably asked. One we're not trained in how to answer. And one that - most times - I think most pelvic rehab practitioners get wrong.
"How long until I get better?"
First we think about what they are really asking. It's more about "are you the right person to help me" or "what is working with you going to look like."
And we often do our patients a disservice when we try and guess. Because the truth is - there's no way to know after just the first visit!
So how do we answer it instead?
Ask them back (flip it and reverse it)
"I'm actually not sure, BUT..."
Map out their plan of care and phases of treatment so they know where they are going
If you can do this well, and with confidence, 99% of patients will be satisfied and understand where they are going with treatment.
Had any challenges with this? Let us know! And feel free to drop a review or rating as well!

How much mental energy and stress go to the 2% of people who are the worst fit for our clinical practice or business?
In this 'sode we talk about how to identify those people who aren't a great fit. We need to recognize when we're working with an outlier. If we aren't careful we end up changing our practice, compromising our vision or bending over backwards for those who aren't a great fit.
Can you identify any outliers or '2 percenters' in your case load or practice? Let us know!

Looking back over the last 250(!!) 'sodes of the Pelvic PT Rising podcast, we reflect on how small steps turn into big impact over time.
We talk about some of our (many) failures and decisions we didn't know would be important at the time. But the underlying message is just to take action to move forward - no matter how small it might be.
When we put one foot in front of the other in our business or career, it may take years to see the progress but it will come.
One of our favorite quotes is "we overestimate what we can do in a day, and underestimate what we can do in a year."
So thankful for all of you who listen - whether you've heard all 250 'sodes or if this is your first one - and who comment, rate the podcast and let us know what you think. Here's to another 250!

As we cross over 'sode 250, we look back on the 10 most 'controversial' things we've said on the podcast.
In retrospect, some don't look controversial anymore (which is awesome!). And you don't have to agree with each of these, but we do hope they make you think and drive conversations in our field forward. Do you have a favorite of these? Let us k now!
Biofeedback is not the best use of your time
We are (or should be) primary care providers
Don't be the evidence police
Voluntary strength testing in your evaluation sends you down the wrong road
If we're not routinely doing rectal, we aren't thoroughly assessing the pelvic floor
You don't need more clinical skills, you need to better utilize the ones you have
The pelvic floor is more like a trampoline than a biceps
You can't always trust research
The isolationist strength approach (Kegels) is outdated
Cash physical therapy is the future of our specialty
Appreciate each and every one of you for listening!

Keeping our professional boundaries can be a real challenge in our profession. We spend a lot of time with our patients. They are often really cool people. And we're discussing intimate topics about their lives they may only talk about with really close friends.
And we should certainly still have fun. Laugh. Make a connection with our patients.
But when they cross over into the 'friend zone' we often struggle to provide the same level of care. It's a challenge for all of us, but we have to recognize when we're acting more like a friend than a clinician.
We can shy away from challenging patients we get too close too. Break boundaries by communicating outside of our sessions. Worry more about being liked than about providing the highest level of care. Or even just allow the conversation to stray from clinical topics to more personal ones.
If you're struggling with a few patients who are closing in on the 'friend zone', make sure to check out this 'sode!

How can we take more control of our own happiness at work?
We dive into how we can avoid negativity, have more honest conversations and enjoy work more.
When negativity goes upward - to your boss or someone who can make a change - instead of out to your colleagues or patients, it creates a better culture and environment for everyone.

And we go into the 'break in case of emergency' options we have during a session.

Whether you're working as an employee or have your own business, financial confidence is truly rare.
We contrast this with 'financial security', which means you're able to pay the bills.
But are you anxious about money? Worried about student loan debt? About whether you're saving enough for retirement?
These concerns are completely natural, but they also cause us to make poor decisions in our careers or our business. In this 'sode we talk about the difficult road to gaining true, lasting financial confidence!

Is there a divide between physical therapy and wellness? Prevention? Maintenance?
If so, where is it? And if not, why is it something that has invaded our profession?
You might be surprised to know this isn't something that comes from our law or practice act. Legally there is no difference between physical therapy and wellness.
And you might also be surprised our governing body (the APTA) specifically encourages wellness, prevention, fitness, and health promotion.
Common sense and ethics also don't draw a distinction. After all, why would we not want to promote wellness ("Active pursuit of optimal health")?
So where does this distinction come from? Insurance companies. Specifically, the desire of insurance companies to pay as little as possible as they maximize their own profits.
We discuss what this means for our field and our individual practice in this 'sode.

For anyone who has a business, is curious, or is a business 'wannabe' there are a lot of myths and misconceptions about business.
Often we make mistakes based on these misconceptions. Do something because we 'have' to. Spend money we didn't need to. Or start building a business that isn't in line with our own values, Ethos or lifestyle.
In this 'sode we go through the five most common misconceptions we see, including:
Starting a business is hard
You 'have' to take insurance
You need a loan, start-up money, or expensive lawyers/consultants/web designers/marketing 'experts' to start.
Patients will follow you and physicians will continue to refer to you
Starting a business is risky
Hope you enjoy the 'sode!

What should your Assessment include? How can you get better buy-in, communicate more clearly, and understand your plan of care for each patient?
In this 'sode we discuss the four elements each Assessment should include. And how to make your assessment 4 sentences that clearly and concisely summarize the patient.
If you master these four elements, it will make it easier to communicate with the patient, get clinical buy-in and create your initial hypothesis for the evaluation.
These include:
The Pelvic Floor Component
The Orthopedic Component
The Nervous System Component, and
The Big Picture
Check out the full 'sode for all the info, and the Pelvic PT Essentials course for how to implement these four elements!

Growth in our business or career isn't ever linear. It's often punctuated bursts. Sometimes we're standing still, and others we're rushing forward.
It's unreasonable to expect our business to continue to grow as rapidly as we want (whatever that means). We can't put in maximum effort all the time.
Seasonality is a rule of nature and it applies to business as well. So how do we manage the different seasons and still enjoy the process throughout?
When it's slow, build your foundations. Mend the nets. Get your business ready for the next burst. Put in the consistent work to build momentum. Build relationships. Take vacations. Enjoy the slower pace.
When it's fast, lean in. Embrace the hectic. Spend more time. Get excited. Dive deep into your passion projects. Take advantage of the tailwind.
If you're stuck in a rut, get help. Read a book. Join a challenge. Get coaching or mentoring. Make a new habit. Break out of the cycle.

What do we do when a patient just isn't getting better? When they feel frustrated? Or when we don't understand why they aren't making more progress?
These plateaus can be a major challenge in our clinical practice. They make us feel insecure, defensive, or like we're just guessing.
In this 'sode we go through how to examine a plateau and how to respond (not react!) for the best patient outcomes.
Three tips for dealing with plateaus:
Plateaus aren't necessarily bad! They can be expected and also give us more time to implement long-term strategies to benefit the patient's overall health.
Don't knee-jerk into a change. If you are going to change strategy, make sure you've given your original plan a chance to work!
Pre-frame with your patient. Progress isn't linear in anything to do with our health, but we need to let the patient know what to expect.

We all know we need "boundaries"....but what does that even mean? It's often throw out as a panacea for any situation. "You just need boundaries."
New definition of boundaries: "Decisions you've had time to consider in advance"
If you're an employee and unhappy at work, it likely has to do with boundaries. Either your employer has boundaries (rules/decisions) you don't agree with OR they don't have boundaries at all and you're left trying to create them for yourself.
This is a huge struggle for new business owners. We don't realize how many of our past boundaries were actually created by our prior employers. We existed within their ecosystem and rules, not realizing we were depending on that structure. Until it's gone.
Here are some areas where we can establish our boundaries...
Schedule
Finances
Fun
People
Situational
Clinical
Productivity
So your homework is to identify three areas of your life causing stress, discomfort or overthinking. And make a decision in advance (boundary) around them. Big or small - make a pact with yourself and stick with it!

Chronic pain is just different. It takes a different skill set and approach. These are often some of our most challenging patients. But they can also be those in most need of our help, and the most rewarding patients on our schedule.
Here are five reminders when treating chronic pelvic pain:
It's going to take time
You have to address the nervous system
It's much less about symptom reproduction
Medications aren't the enemy
Be a broken record
We hope this helps you to be more confident with your chronic pain patients!

What if we though about spending money not as an expense, but as an investment? It’s one of the most important mindsets from business (and you can borrow it even if you aren’t a business owner).
We’ve been conditioned to think of certain things as ‘expensive.’ And this is different for all of us. It depends on how we were raised, our money mindset, our current financial situation, and much more. Maybe that $5 latte is expensive, or maybe it’s the $50,000 car.
But that’s only one way to look at money.
What if we used the lens of Return on Investment? This is how business owners (should) think about money.
Is $1,500 for a hi-lo table expensive? Maybe. But the Return on Investment is years of treating without injury, aches and pains, or poor body mechanics. It’s an investment that prolongs your healthy career, and is absolutely worth more than $1,500.
Is $500 for a con-ed course expensive? Perhaps. But if it makes you a more confident clinician, helps you get patients better, and ultimately lets you enjoy your job more, maybe it’s a no-brainer investment.
Mentorship or coaching can objectively be expensive. But the entire point is it propels your business forward and makes you far more money than you spend. In the Rising Mentorship program, we aim to have at least a 10x return on anything we do for business owners (in 2021, it was actually 20x!).
An event like PelviCon has cost associated with it – travel, hotel, cost of the ticket. But if even one of the 16 talks resonates…if you make a new friend or connection….if you get the confidence to ask for one raise…if you leave feeling inspired and loving your career…what’s the return on investment?
This isn’t the only money lens we can use, but it’s a powerful question to ask yourself prior to spending money – what’s the return on this investment?

What do we do when our plans for a session get derailed? When - for whatever reason - what we wanted to do is "too much"?
This can happen for a variety of reasons. Some examples include:
A patient who is contrarian - there's always a reason you can't do something
When a patient is in too much pain - they are flinching, can't be touched, or petrified they are going to flare
When a patient is emotional or distraught
We have to be able to recognize this change and still provide value for our patients!
It helps to have a specific toolbox in mind when things are "too much." This way we can still provide a feeling of safety for our patients and a valuable session (even if it's not what we planned).

Every Pregnant Person Can Benefit from Pelvic Therapy
00:27:58
We didn’t think this was a controversial statement, but it seems some explanation is in order. Yes, we can help anyone who is pregnant. Even if they don’t have ‘symptoms.’ Or a complaint. Or something wrong.
There are changes in the body happening daily. We are the biomechanical experts. And we actually have the time to work with our patients. Alleviate fears. Screen for issues. Support their pregnancy journey. Here’s four ways we can help our pregnant PEEPs (yep, it’s an acronym!).
Educate on body changes and what is normal
Exercise safely and confidently throughout pregnancy. Some are scared by what they hear from their OB and think all exercise is dangerous. Others completely ignore medical advice and continue with their pre-pregnancy exercise plan without any changes. We can be the bridge to a safe, confident exercise program in pregnancy.
Prevention of low back pain, hip pain, pubic symphysis pain and other pregnancy issues. No, there isn’t a ‘study’ on this. But common sense – are we able to help optimize the body? Can that prevent or mitigate pain and symptoms? We can help outside the pelvic floor as well, in the mid-back, feet, hands or other areas where pain can develop during pregnancy.
Prepare for birth. We can teach relaxation techniques, labor positions, pushing mechanics, perineal massage, breathing. Many pregnant people don’t get much (if any) birth prep.
So what is your ‘ideal’ pregnancy plan for your patients? Even the ones without symptoms? How and when do you want to work with them? Clarify your own Ethos so you can communicate it with your pregnant patients.

How do we take radical responsibility for our patients? Our careers? Our efforts to expand our specialty?
If you're listening to this podcast, you're already saying "It Starts with Me." I want to be better. I want to learn and grow as a clinician.
With PelviCon, we want to transform that into "It Starts With Us." Together we can do so much more than we can alone.
Our speakers have embodied this attitude, expanding our knowledge and broadening our field.
We all need to think of how we can take action. We can't sit around and complain or wait for things to change. And if you want to be among an incredible, passionate, brilliant group of pelvic therapists who all believe the same thing, think about joining us for PelviCon 2023!

There’s a balancing act between ‘quick wins’ for our patients and getting to the root cause of their issues.
Quick wins can build trust, show the patient you’re really listening, get buy-in and build momentum. But they can also mean we’re working on things without as much long-term benefit, not addressing the ‘why’, can lead to symptom chasing, and can keep you scattered and from progressing through your plan of care.
So how do we balance getting our patients a quick win? As always, communication is critical.
Check out the full ‘sode for when (and how!) to get a quick win for your patient without losing sight of the bigger picture.

We've all (likely) had a patient who is extremely sensitive or ticklish. The laughter is often contagious, and we find ourselves cracking up as well. But there's a lot to consider about the ticklish response - this 'sode is all about dealing with these patients.
When we really think about it, if we subtract the laughter the tickle response looks an awful lot like a pain response. Contracting, pulling away, getting into a fetal or defensive position.
The tickle response is processed in the hypothalamus of the brain - the same place where the emotional threat response is processed. Here are some techniques that can be extremely helpful with this patient population!
Use the anticipatory system to make sure the patient isn't surprised by the touch
Calm the nervous system using a variety of techniques
Start away from the area that is ticklish

One of the big fears - we talk about 10 'Mindset Anchors' - that can hold us back is fear of criticism.
This can be from bosses, from colleagues, from patients, or online comments.
Anytime we're branching outside of our comfort zone we can be afraid of getting criticized. If we're not careful this can hold us back in our business or career.
So how do we get past it? Here's a few ideas:
If it's valid criticism, accept the kernel of truth, grow from it and move on
Judge the judger - is this someone whose opinion you truly value?
Recognize no one is judging or criticizing you who is doing MORE than you're doing
You're always being judged anyway, so you might as well be judged for doing what you believe in and feels authentic
Ultimately, the answer is action. Keep your mind on your goal and the reason you're doing the new thing. Remind yourself of the higher purpose and the bigger reason for what you're doing, and the fear of criticism will start to fade in the rearview mirror.

How do we get unstuck - with a patient or project or business? Often it's because we're trying to fix something that wasn't great in the first place.
Often the answer seems counterintuitive - what if we just threw away the old 'prior' or previous model and started over? It often will free your creativity and inspire you to create something better than you eve would have.
Need examples?
Getting stuck with a patient when you're going down the wrong road and just need a new set of eyes
Making incremental changes to your business website
Working with a logo or color scheme you don't really love
Charging less than you're worth because you started your business too low
We try and deliberately abandon the 'old mold' when creating something. We wanted PelviCon to be unique and different, not just a 'slightly better CSM.' The Rising Clinical Courses aren't just teaching skills, we reimagined them to teach frameworks and 'how to think' about pelvic health.
Is there anyplace where you're stuck and need to abandon the 'old mold'? Let us know!

I had worked with hundreds of pregnant patients over the course of my career, but learned so much from being pregnant myself. It's absolutely going to affect my clinical practice.
Here are the top 6 lessons I've learned from my own experience and how they shape how I'll treat my pregnant patients going forward.
If you've been pregnant yourself, what lessons did you take away for your patients? And if you haven't, I hope this 'sode gives you some ideas of how we can always be improving for our patients.

How can we view maternity leave as an opportunity in our business (or career)?
Many of us first start our own business after a maternity leave. Our priorities have shifted. We want more time freedom. Or we have a new passion for pelvic health after having experienced life as a patient.
For those of us who get pregnant after starting our business, we have a few different options.
We can be ok with just shutting down during that time. It takes careful planning, financial discipline and a plan for both patient care and marketing, but you can return to a thriving practice.
You can find someone to temporarily cover your patient load. You'll have to bring them in, get them up to speed, and have all the timing work out in order to make this work.
Or you can put your foot on the gas to hire, onboard and train a team before you leave. But make sure it's not just a knee-jerk reaction to being pregnant! If you didn't dream about growing beyond yourself, this is not the time or reason to make that decision.
No matter what you choose, your business is resilient. You'll be able to return to a thriving business and continue to grow!

How can we keep our patients engaged and continuing to improve over the holidays and New Year?
First, it starts with handling our own business. Are we being fully present for our patients?
Next, do we understand all the different stressors and changes going on in their lives? Are we specifically asking about their holidays?
We have to be planning for our time off. Their time off. And troubleshooting so their needs don't fall through the cracks during the end of the year.
Finally, we have to leverage the power of the New Year. If they are making resolutions or goals, how do we have their pelvic health be a part of those goals? How can we 'sneak' pelvic health into their larger plans for the coming year?

Define Success for Yourself: An Interview with Kari Craig
00:45:32
In this inspiring interview with Kari, you'll hear the list of limiting beliefs she had to overcome to build a successful practice. She's done an amazing job of defining success for herself and remaining true to her vision.
She decided to start even though she had young kids. And she made the commitment to stay true to her values and prioritize her family.
She also had all of the negative beliefs we hear so often: My town isn't big enough. Or affluent enough. And they don't even know about pelvic health! Will they even understand what cash-based practice is and how it's different?
Kari has grown past those limiting beliefs, creating an incredible practice, hiring staff, and staying true to her values of spending time with her family. She's certainly an inspiration to any business owner out there, especially those with young family or in rural communities.

You Don't Have to Be Everyone's Cup of Tea: An Interview with Allison Ingley
00:40:11
How do we confront the fears we have as clinicians and business owners?
In this fantastic, open and honest interview with Dr. Allison Ingley we explore how her own pelvic floor issues led to her interest in pelvic health, how she developed her Clinical Ethos, how she moved past the fear of having to be all things to all people, and how she’s building a business that works for her.
It's been amazing to watch her grow and move past her limiting beliefs to build the business she has today. Excited for you to learn from her experience!

Investing In Yourself with a Growth Mindset: An Interview with Hannah Strom
00:37:41
As a younger physical therapist, Hannah had to overcome a lot to build the thriving practice she now owns.
She needed to grow as a clinician to provide the kind of care she believed in, as well as learning the business skills to market and grow.
But Hannah is an incredible example of having a growth mindset. Instead of thinking "I'm new" or "I'm not good with numbers" she rolled up her sleeves and took on her challenges.
She got a head start clinically by taking the courses she needed to build her clinical confidence and Ethos. And she got started with Business Mentorship to learn the skills to grow her practice.
The results speak for themselves. In less than 18 months she has built a thriving, multi-six figure business, hired a clinician and front desk, and is only continuing to grow!

Building a Biz as a Single Mom: An Interview with Jen Le Cougic
00:36:34
As a single mom, Jen didn't have much room for error when she started Nashville Pelvic Health. It needed to be successful - and quickly - to provide for her family.
But even with that pressure she wasn't willing to abandon her dream of building her own practice.
Around a year later, 'JLC' has built a six-figure business, hired an admin and a clinician and is continuing to expand her reach in the Nashville community.
More importantly, she talked about inspiring her kids and changing the lives of her family. Such an inspiring interview, hope you enjoy!

Starting a Practice Later in Your Career: An Interview with Juliet Sarjeant
00:39:18
Is it still worth starting a practice later in your career? For Juliet, at least, the answer is a resounding 'Yes!'
After two decades in the field of pelvic health, Juliet took the leap to start her own practice. You'll hear about the evolution of her clinical practice, how she's constantly striving to improve, and what prompted her to start her own business.
Even in Canada, with nationalized health care, there has been a line out the door for Juliet's services and she's had a wait list almost since she started.
She's growing into her new identity as a business owner as her practice grows and expands.
Really inspiring to see her pursuing her vision of how patients should be treated, her growth as a clinician and business owner, and excited for you to hear her lessons from the process!

Shedding Expectations and Limiting Beliefs: An Interview with Roxi Roberts
00:40:44
What happens when a dreamer puts action to her goals? Roxi Roberts is a perfect example.
With Good Life Pelvic Health in a rural community in Kansas, Roxi has shed the expectations of others and limiting beliefs.
One of her big limiting beliefs? You can’t build a cash-based pelvic health practice in a rural community.
But even as she had her doubts, Roxi rolled up her sleeves and got to work. As she said, “this dream won’t make itself happen.” Since making the decision to start, she’s put one foot in front of the other until she built a successful practice with a full schedule and wait list.
You’ll resonate with her story of building a practice as a young mother and preparing for another baby, all in a rural community.

Pushing Outside Your Comfort Zone: An Interview with Megan Bengtson
00:35:56
Megan’s career in physical therapy seems to be about pushing outside her comfort zone. She made the leap into pelvic health. Then into starting a pelvic health program. And finally into her own business.
In this honest and powerful interview, Megan shares how she’s managed to make peace with being uncomfortable, started to love connecting on the phone with patients, and found her stride as a business owner.
And her results have been outstanding – she’s crated a six-figure business, hired a front desk and another physical therapist, and is bursting at the seams after only six months in practice!

Not only has she grown her practice significantly, Tiffany now has more time. How? Boundaries.
In this interview with Tiffany, founder of GOAL Physical Therapy, we reflect on her business growth. Originally a mobile practice, Tiffany pivoted to a brick & mortar practice.

Along the way she's created a six-figure business for herself, while still giving herslef time for self-care and family.
Tiffany has done an amazing job of crafting her business to support the life she wants to lead. We can’t wait for you to hear our conversation!

How do we want our lives to be better at the end of next year? What would make 2023 great?
We often work with our mentorship group on setting better, more meaningful, and more manageable goals for the coming year. We usually struggle to do this well, which means a lot of frustration, guilt or given-up goals.
Here are a few ways we can make 2023 great!
1. Broaden Our Goals - Instead of hyperfocusing on easy-to-measure areas (our raise at work, our weight, our business revenue), we should be broadening our goals. We suggest making goals in the following 6 categories: Career/Biz, Financial, Wellness, Relationships, Personal Growth and Fun.
2. Create Virtuous Circles - Identify goals that will make everything else in your life easier. Is that getting to bed earlier, doing meal prep at the beginning of the week, or doing yoga 3 times a week?
3. Make Goals More Realistic - What if we cut our goals in half? Make them more realistic, build momentum and not let ourselves given in to disappointment when we aren't perfect.
4. Get Visible - Where are you putting these goals? Is it in a place you'll see them every day, or week? Or somewhere in a pile of papers you discover at the end of the year?
5. Remove to Improve - We're not usually swimming in free time. So if we want to add something to our busy lives, we're going to have to remove something else. What are you looking to remove?
We hope you use these to make 2023 an incredible year!

You’ve heard us say it before, but here we dive into why we believe there isn’t a ‘simple’ pelvic health patient.
Simple (n): easily understood or done; presenting no difficulty. plain, basic, or uncomplicated in form, nature, or design
Our patients are not easily understood. They do present difficulty. And the pelvic floor is anything but uncomplicated!
1. The pelvic floor is utilized constantly. We can’t tell the patient to take a break. They’re using it and having to think about an issue all the time. As we said in an earlier podcast, you can’t RICE the pelvic floor.
2. The nervous system and complexity of the anatomy makes the pelvic floor unique. We have to be integrating the nervous system component if we want lasting change for our patients, and the nervous system is inherently complex. The pelvic floor is also influenced by so many other areas of the body.
3. The length of time and/or multiple issues. We’re not generally getting a patient immediately after symptoms start. Even our post-partum patients have just been through 9 months of crazy body changes! This is more complex than treating a sprained ankle.
4. Better life. If we embrace our role as helping the patient live a better life – and not just resolve their symptoms – we can never work with someone simple. Can they leave a better person? Can we positively impact their nutrition, their sleep, their exercise? Can we make changes that will have a positive impact on their overall health and life for years to come?
5. Top down and bottom up. The complexity of the pelvic floor means we have to be working both top-down and bottom-up for our patients, no matter their diagnosis.
So let’s not dismiss any of our cases as ‘simple’ in our minds!

Let’s start with common ground – telehealth is not the gold standard of pelvic health. In an ideal world we would be able to examine the patient, work with them, look into their eyes, see them move and interact in person.
We need to resist the urge to make a shift to telehealth just because it feels ‘easier’ to us, or we can do it from the comfort of our home.
But there are specific times and scenarios where it can be a valuable adjunct to what we’re doing or support patients who aren’t able to get in for consistent care. We outline our thoughts on when – and when not – to use telehealth for your patients!

One of the major career concerns we heard about in our end-of-year survey was working in a facility that is understaffed with a long wait list. We dive into what this means, how you can keep your sanity and still provide the best possible care.
First of all, we have to realize we are going to have a major choice to make. And each option will have major limitations and be a compromise.
We can provide the best possible care to a very limited number of patients. We limit the number of evaluations, and only get someone new onto the schedule when you have room to provide the follow-up care you believe they need.
Or.
We can provide care to as many patients as possible, realizing we’re providing less-than-ideal clinical care. When this happens we tend to start modifying our recommendations to fit the schedule, seeing patients less often, and patients are getting squeezed off the schedule before they’ve met their goals.
We talk about how to deal with both situations, but clinical honesty is paramount. Regardless of the situation where you’re working, we believe you should never compromise your clinical honesty. Tell patients what you think would be best, and then they can work within the system.
This is also an important time to have referrals to other practices. If you aren’t able to see someone as often as they need to be seen, there may be someone in your community who can – and if so, your patient deserves to know what their options are.

Integrating Standing and Dynamic Assessments Into your Practice
00:31:06
Our patients don’t live on their backs….so we do we often treat them like they do?
Nicole shares how she first started treating in standing positions – spoiler alert! She was nervous the first time she did – and why it’s so important to her clinical practice.
You’ll be surprised, almost every time, how different what you feel in standing is from what you’ve felt in supine.
One of our maxims is ‘assess, don’t guess’ – if you’re not assessing the pelvic floor in standing and in dynamic positions, you’re just guessing.

Our IVF Journey: How to Support Patients Through Fertility Treatments

Our Journey of Grief and Hope: Supporting Patients Through Pregnancy Loss
01:03:20
In another personal 'sode we share our own challenges with pregnancy loss and how it's changed Nicole's clinical practice and how we interact with those experiencing loss.
(We do discuss our pregnancy loss in detail in this 'sode - if that may be triggering for you, please skip it or ignore it entirely)
Our journey has included a second-trimester loss, a first-trimester loss and a failed IVF transfer. It's led to several medical procedures, two ER visits and a bout with sepsis.
We hope our story can provide more clarity on how we interact with our patients dealing with loss and set boundaries for ourselves.
One of the biggest takeaways of this 'sode is there is such variability and complexity with how everyone deals with grief and loss. It really is n = 1, and we have to treat it that way.
Another lesson is the importance of drawing our own boundaries. If you're not ready to see a certain patient, or a certain type of patient, it's ok to step back from providing their care. One of the biggest blessings and challenges of what we do is we're dealing with important, life-changing topics for our patients, but we need to have space for ourselves as well.
If you're dealing with loss or know someone who has, we just want to you to know you're seen. We hope you have the support of your family, friends and (if necessary) a mental health counselor.

Breaking News - Changes to the APTA Chaperone Statement
00:33:58
There's been a lot of confusion and concern over a recent release from the APTA on the use of chaperones in pelvic health.
This new document surprised a lot of us when it came out in January. Among some important changes in the document were:
Redefining chaperone as 'a member of the health care team' and specifically excludes family members or friends from acting as chaperones
Recommending asking the patient if they would like a medical chaperone at each visit and documenting their answer
The inability for a pelvic physical therapist to provide the first vaginal or rectal examination for a minor patient, regardless of consent or situation.
These are obviously - if they were implemented and followed - monumental changes in our field. These recommendations are impossible for small businesses or solopreneurs to comply with. They would eliminate pelvic physical therapy in in-home settings (obviously you aren't having a chaperone 'ride-along' to each patient's house!). And they could make it financially impossible for even large hospitals to pay for enough medical chaperones, causing programs to close (or never open) and reducing access to care.
In response, we gathered some comments from the Pelvic PT/OT Entrepreneurs group - thanks to all that contributed - and added our own concerns. We then sent these on to the APTA.
To their credit, they responded quickly - and it looks like in a very positive way. They have promised changes to this document and the entire process by which these position statements are created, including:
Removing the definition of 'chaperone' as only a member of the health care team and allowing the patient's family and friends to serve as a chaperone if desired.
Adding legal language meant to future guidelines to make it clear they are only suggestions and providing additional legal support for clinicians
Adding a 30-day comment period to future publications to avoid similar issues in the future.
We'll have to see when the new guidelines come out, but wanted to pass on the update and changes!

Our Pregnancy Journey: Navigating the Process For Your Patient

We use our own personal pregnancy journey to discuss ways we can better support our patients through the process.
We want to be the trusted resource for them when - not if, but when! - issues arise.
Those can be pelvic health related, or completely independent. Throughout my pregnancy I had recurring foot pain and leg swelling; I went to my team at PelvicSanity for help!
We hope our journey gives you a different perspective on working with our pregnant patients and some things to consider in your clinical practice!
