Ahh, mindful pelvic PT for all…Pelvic floor dysf

Ahh, mindful pelvic PT for all…Pelvic floor dysfunction comes in all colors and sizes! Just like these vaginal weights, dilators, and rectal/vaginal therawands - there is never a one size fits all approach!
⁠
These are just some of the tools of the #pelvicfloorphysicaltherapy trade I use as a #supermom #supergeek #PT 🤓🎉 to help folks get their groove back when it comes to #pelvicpain ⁠
⁠
Pelvic floor PT goes far beyond strengthening the #pelvicfloor, thankfully. Imagine if the only way you could approach knee pain was to make things stronger? Crazy, right? The pelvic floor needs WAY more attention and is way more complex than just tossing in a #kegel here and there. In fact, we know that strengthening the pelvic floor can often make things worse. ⁠
⁠
So the solution to #pelvicfloordysfunction often is “it depends.” ⁠
⁠
Comprehensive Pelvic PT should include and can consider all of the following above. Every patient I see I consider: ⁠
⁠
✅Lifestyle choices and habits like: ⁠
✅Sleep quality and quantity ⁠
✅Stress management ⁠
✅Nutrition and diet - yes, you are what you eat!⁠
✅Mindful movement (I put the mindful part in there because mindfulness activity is far superior than non-mindful based physical activity (lots of scientific support there!) ⁠
✅Environmental influences such as pollutants and endocrine disruptors ⁠
⁠
PLUS: ⁠
⁠
✅First and foremost, I listen to the person’s story about what’s bothering them. Then: ⁠
✅Physical examination - internal and external for all genders as they are able⁠
✅History of trauma⁠
✅Previous medical history ⁠
✅Cardiometabolic and cardiopulmonary health ⁠
✅Endocrine health, including lab work⁠
✅Epigenetic and genetic influences ⁠
✅Vocal presentation (yes, I can tell a LOT about the pelvic floor by listening to and watching someone speak or sing!)⁠
⁠
I also complete physical examination using Rehabilitative Ultrasound Imaging (RUSI), which allows for personalized pelvic physical therapy prescription for all genders. ⁠
⁠
It’s a lot to consider, that’s why I see one patient at a time, for a minimum of 1 hour each visit. ⁠
⁠
Because everyone deserves to have a happy pelvis! ⁠

Mama said knock ✊ you out! Who said mamas can’t throw (awesome birthday 🥳 parties) 🤪🤣

A little #tbt to last weekends bash I threw for my youngest son’s 10 birthday. I can’t believe I’m nearly 50, AND that I no longer have single digit aged babies (sigh).

Guess it’s time to step up my game and keep landing the fun punches as I fully enter the 2nd decade with (all) my kiddos!

God knows I’ll need the endurance! Two teenaged boys and 1 soon to be tween! Jesus take the wheel 🤣😎🤓

And thanks to my uncle Milton for being a good sport!!! #dunkcontest

This is a moving story, generously shared by a graduate from my Professional Yoga Therapist Certification, PTA Carrie Gatlin Fuller. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
@carriegfuller is a caring, "all-in" PTA with a servant heart. She volunteers for APTA and is a long-time NY delegate before recently uprooting from NYC to Colorado! ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Most recently she rescued a gorgeous 130 year old fixer upper home in CO in need of some TLC, and when she's not busy working on her new old home, hiking or SUP'ing in her new home state, she's going above and beyond in stories JUST LIKE THIS ONE so together we can #transformhealthcare. ⁠⁠

🥰🌈❤️Likewise, I have always been passionate about equal access to pelvic PT for ALL PEOPLE, ALL GENDERS, ALL AGES.

When I first started out as a PT more than 2 decades ago - pelvic health was just starting to be a “thing.” My first class was incontinence treatment for women. That was over 20 years ago now! Other gender pelvic health wasn’t even on the radar, sadly. BUT I’m so stoked to see my own practice grow and flourish over the years. At EudeMOMia I see and treat all genders & all people.
.
🌟Why?? Because…
➡️Everyone has a pelvis
➡️Everyone has a pelvic floor
➡️Everyone urinates and defecates
➡️Everyone should be able to have pain-free sex (if they want to)
➡️Everyone should be able to sit, walk, and move without dealing with pelvic or genital pain
.
🌟And the reality is that while pelvic floor rehabilitation is growing (and it’s growing— hundreds of clinicians are joining this specialty every month!!), there are still so many populations who are underserved by our profession! This can mean clinics simply turning these people away, or perhaps seeing them, but not having the training to do so effectively, with knowledge, in an affirming and compassionate way. These populations include:
➡️Members of the LQBTQIA Community
➡️Men
➡️Children
➡️BIPOC Individuals
➡️People with complex pelvic pain conditions
➡️People with complex bladder and bowel dysfunction
… and many other populations!
.
🌟🥰So— for my colleagues out there, if you aren’t seeing ALL people, dig deep, figure out why, and reflect on how you can educate and build yourself up to reach more people and better serve others! If you are a person who has struggled to find skilled, compassionate, affirming care— send me a DM!!❤️🌈🎉💕

Remember when time seemed slower as a kid? “In all studies,” the scientists wrote, “we found that… people remember duration as being shorter on a routine activity than on a non-routine activity.”⁠
⁠
I'll be reclaiming the awe and wonder of childhood this upcoming weekend by going camping! Off the grid, no phones, no social media, no household management or weekend-long laundry routines - just time with family. ⁠
⁠
What will you do? ⁠

PS Photobomb by my youngest son James while I was teaching meditation in Costa Rica in 2017. He was so quiet I didn't even hear him sneak up! ⁠
⁠
PPS Can't wait for our Costa Rica 2022 Retreat! There's only a few spaces left, DM me if interested! ⁠
⁠
PPPS Did you ALSO know that regularly experiencing "Awe" and "Wonder" is a GREAT way to improve #vagaltone? Just sayin'...;) ⁠
