Your Pelvic Health

In today's episode we are chatting with Melanie Costa-Silva. Melanie is a licensed health insurance agent since 2012. This was her first career role. In 2012 Melanie went through my own journey of pursuing care and found that our system does not cater to seeing that people get well, moreso it is trained in keeping them sick. This is where she chose to break the mold and look at our healthcare through a different lens.   Follow us @pelvicorerehab and share any questions you have on Pelvic Health or share your experience overcoming Pelvic Health related issues.   Episode Notes: How did you come to be passionate about your field? What does it mean to take your power back over your own health?  What can that look like?  Self advocating finding root cause finding financial solutions for medical expenses that works for you the holistic approach to target mind, body, and spirit What solutions are out there catering to giving the consumer control back over their health?  How do I feel about health insurance compared to alternative solutions?  What is the process I take my client through in finding the best solution for them? Takeaways for listeners  There are other solutions that give you control back over your healthcare and your life. You don't have to settle for the status quo,  it's okay to look outside of the box and take the road less traveled.  You won't be alone in it.

Chantal Traub is a prominent New York City birth facilitator, doula, childbirth educator and wellness coach. In her 20-plus years in practice, she has become internationally acclaimed for her expertise on the pelvic floor and her Pushing Power technique. Early on, Traub identified a severe lack of preparation among birthing people for the pushing stage of labor. Thus began a mission to properly educate and teach birthing moms—and professionals in the field—to better understand the pelvic floor; through her classes, her one-on-one work and her doula practice, Traub has helped thousands of women birth babies without tearing and without episiotomies. Traub speaks often on the subject of pelvic floor health and safe, effective pushing. In recent years, Traub has expanded her training and practice to be able to serve the health needs of women of all ages and at all life stages.   Follow us @pelvicorerehab and share any questions you have on Pelvic Health or share your experience overcoming Pelvic Health related issues.   Episode Notes: How did you become passionate about helping women have a great birth experience and protecting their Pelvic floor during birth? Why do you think women are so underprepared for the pushing part of labor? Why do you think there is no universal education around this? What is the relationship of the pelvic floor to the pelvis during labor and birth?  How can we prepare the pelvic floor prenatally for labor and delivery to help protect the pelvic floor? What are your thoughts on perineal massage at the end of pregnancy to help prepare for labor? How can women prepare for the final phase of labor during pregnancy? Can you give us some tips? Should moms be learning certain movements or perform certain exercises/stretches during certain stages of labor to help ease the baby into position? How do you help moms determine which position they may be the most comfortable, meaningful experience during labor? It seems like so many women are given pitocin during labor, what are your thoughts on this? Are there any positions you advise moms NOT to push in? What are some strategies you teach moms to help them reduce pain during pushing?    Where can you find more of Chantal Traub: Published Co-Author: The Pelvic Floor: Everything you needed to know sooner www.chantaltraub.com IG: @chantal.traub https://www.instagram.com/chantal.traub  https://www.facebook.com/chantaltraub  email: chantal@chantaltraub.com   Visit me at: My Website: https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/   Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/pelvicorerehab   Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/pelvicorerehab/   YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCiEl1ZFlA5SzN44MhUwzgA?view_as=subscriber   Ebook Books links  Pregnancy Ebook:  https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/pain-free-pregnancy-guide   Pelvic Pain, Bladder leaking, and 8 steps to achieve pelvic healing https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/pelvicfloorguides   Menopause Guide https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/menopauseguide   Postpartum ebook https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/headtotoewellnessformommyandbaby    Disclaimer: Susan Winograd, PT offers health and fitness information intended to assist you in improving your general health and well-being.

In today's episode we discuss how stress affects all systems in your body from hormones, mood,immunity, digestion, sleep, thyroid function, memory and so much more. Managing stress with proper guidance and an individualized approach for you can lead to improved overall physical, emotional and mental health! Follow us @pelvicorerehab and share any questions you have on Pelvic Health or share your experience overcoming Pelvic Health related issues.   Episode notes: When we have prolonged exposure to stress… It affects our immune response. This triggers an inflammatory cascade due to increased levels of cortisol and surges of insulin. Where else can the  inflammation be coming from? 1.stress - decreases our bodies ability to fight inflammation and in addition your body translates inflammation as a physical stressor 2.Food - even if we think we're eating healthy we're not always sure how things show up in our bodies 3.Too much exercise = too much information or not giving our bodies enough time to recover  4.Too  little exercise= we don't clear inflammation bec we are not moving our bodies.   Our bodies produce cortisol from our adrenal glands to manage inflammation …..if our bodies are in a persistent  inflammatory state, we will produce too much cortisol. This will cause fatigue or adrenals. We will end up with a cortisol imbalance. This can affect multiple systems throughout the body. In summary, our liver, which is the major detoxification center in our body, needs to be working optimally to filter toxins out of the body and make sure that we're producing hormones and managing inflammation.   If our livers do not do a good job, filtering out the garbage, our Gut  will be in a persistent, inflammatory state, which will decrease critical neurotransmitters, cause hormonal imbalances , it will affect our emotional state, and we will not be in an optimal position to heal   Visit me at: My Website: https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/ Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/pelvicorerehab Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/pelvicorerehab/ YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCiEl1ZFlA5SzN44MhUwzgA?view_as=subscriber Ebook Books links Pregnancy Ebook:  https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/pain-free-pregnancy-guide Pelvic Pain, Bladder leaking, and 8 steps to achieve pelvic healing https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/pelvicfloorguides Menopause Guide https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/menopauseguide Postpartum ebook https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/headtotoewellnessformommyandbaby   Disclaimer: Susan Winograd, PT offers health and fitness information intended to assist you in improving your general health and well-being.

In today's episode we are chatting with Amanda Grillot, owner of FIT4MOM Boca.  This allowed Emma to  fulfill her two passions; fitness and motherhood melded into one!!  Follow us @pelvicorerehab and share any questions you have on Pelvic Health or share your experience overcoming Pelvic Health related issues. Episode Notes:  How can a new mother achieve her fitness goals while being a great mom? How can fitness be fun, rather than a chore, for new moms? And their kids, too? Possible follow-up: can you escape the “mom guilt” of meeting your workout needs while having fun with your kids? Do you need to exercise inside, in your home or at a public gym? ( No, you can easily get out of the house! ) What are the benefits of a community of new moms? Working with pelvic health therapist: All of our clients are moms, they have been through pregnancy which is a huge physical change in our bodies, on top of all the mental and hormonal changes.   The feeling of not “snapping” back  or being as strong is a big thing that we should all have support in and be able to get educated in, for someone to help us and in turn helping ourselves.  Many women don't know where to turn….  Many of my clients don't want to do certain exercises, due to pain, discomfort and even peeing themselves.  Takeaways: You don't have to sacrifice fitness, feeling good and looking good when you're a mom.  Raising kids and fitness are not mutually exclusive, in fact they build on each other.  Ultimately the healthier you are as a mom, the better you are for your kids. And future grandkids.   Where can you find more of FIT4MOM?

Memorable pattern.  teach box breath. Super easy and quick Thoughts become postures which become movement and breath patterns.

In today's episode we are chatting with Kelly Terry . Kelly is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist. Kelly was the assistant captain of the two-time National Champion D1 NCAA Women's Ice Hockey team. Upon graduation, she continued her hockey career with the Canadian National Women's Hockey Team for three years. Kelly uses a combination of research evidence, clinical expertise, and Individual patient values to tailor her treatment approach for patients with a variety of physical abilities and conditions at Barwis Physical Therapy. Follow us @pelvicorerehab and share any questions you have on Pelvic Health or share your experience overcoming Pelvic Health related issues. Episode Notes: Why did Kelly look into pelvic floor PT for the first time since graduating PT school It is unappreciated the number of athletes who have pelvic floor deficiencies. Athletes may be particularly susceptible to PFD due to the repetitive strain and impact on their pelvic floor muscles during training and competition Increased intraabdominal pressure with lifting There is already a stigma surrounding the topic of PFD but it is especially evident in the athlete population, therefore, issues will go overlooked and underdiagnosed Relationship between orthopedic injuries and pelvic floor dysfunction EXAMPLE 1: DEEP CORE SYSTEM  EXAMPLE 2: HIP AND GROIN STRAINS To simplify, I explain to patients the difference between the stability muscles and the moving muscles, If the stability isn't effective, think of how much harder the movers need to work to create a strong contraction = INJURY   Refer to the specialists! There are a few simple ways to incorporate things into a POC but to really provide a comprehensive treatment plan to patients whose primary diagnosis revolves around the pelvic floor, I would always resort to my Pelvic floor specialists When in doubt, refer out!  Take Aways: Pelvic floor physical therapy is important for athletes and orthopedic patients as it can be related to their injuries and overall function. Athletes may be particularly susceptible to pelvic floor dysfunction due to the repetitive strain and impact on their pelvic floor muscles during training and competition. It is important for sports and ortho PTs to recognize that it can be vital to consider the pelvic floor to provide a comprehensive treatment plan in some cases. When in doubt, refer out!

Episode Notes: Here are some question we answered during this episode: What are some pelvic health issues that come up for runners? Running during pregnancy was a hard NO years ago but there is a transition going on and we are seeing more pregnant mamma running. What do you think has changed? What are some warning signs/red flags for pregnant moms to look out forin running during pregnancy? Do you get avid runner moms that come to you during pregnancy and want to optimize their system during pregnancy in order to return to running after birth? What do you think are some common mistakes moms make when returning to running after childbirth? Health care providers give moms the “ Green Light “ at their postnatal 6 week checkup. They are often told that they can return to all activities without restrictions. After Orthopedic surgery,like ACL surgery, athletes wouldn't dare not follow the rehab protocol but after birth we get this GO AHEAD and do anything. Do you think this is a big issue? How can we change this? There was recently a set of guidelines developed by Grainne Donnelly and Emma Brockwell what are your thoughts on this? How do you help moms return to running postnatally?What are the things that you feel are essential to establish in their strength?

Follow us @pelvicorerehab and share any questions you have on Pelvic Health or share your experience overcoming Pelvic Health related issues. Episode Notes: Which topics did we dive into during this episode? How did you come to specialize in Men's Health What are common challenges for penis owners that you see in your practice? What are some reservations men might have before actually seeing a specialist? Treatment of Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is so multi-modal, multi-factorial, but we also have to be aware of medical issues that could be giving us clues about such as cardiac disease. How do you take this into consideration when treating ED What are your thoughts on Shockwave therapy for the Treatment of ED? What do you say when people call your clinic asking for a “Prostate Massage” or do you “Milk the Prostate”? What should penis owners expect when going to see a pelvic health therapist? How can pelvic health therapists support men in the pelvic health space? Why are some therapists cautious about supporting men in pelvic therapy? Takeaways for listeners Men seeking comprehensive care for pelvic and sexual health concerns should expect their provider:  to listen to them,  validate their experience,  offer a safe space for a therapeutic collaboration that promotes self-efficacy and sense of agency.  Multimodal, individualized care within a biopsychosocial framework is one approach that allows for this type of exploration and interpersonal context to flourish.  If you're struggling with pelvic or sexual health concerns, you're not alone.

In today's episode we talk about taking control of your bladder. Bladder leaking is a “common but not normal” issue that people of all ages struggle with. We will go over basic anatomy and function of the pelvic floor and bladder, how the pelvic floor and bladder interact. We will discuss signals your body may give you to let you know that your bladder is asking for help. And we will discuss tips to optimize bladder health.   Follow us @pelvicorerehab and share any questions you have on Pelvic Health or share your experience overcoming Pelvic Health related issues.   Episode Notes:   WHAT IS CONSIDERED NORMAL Bladder Function? The average bladder can hold about 2 cups of urine before it needs to be emptied.   The average range of voiding urine is 6-  8 times during a 24 hour period. As we get older, our bladder capacity can get smaller and we may need to pass urine more frequently but usually not more than every 2 hours.   Urine should flow easily without discomfort in a good, steady stream until the bladder is empty. No pushing or straining is necessary to empty the bladder.   An urge is a signal that you feel as the bladder stretches to fill with urine. Urges can be felt even if the bladder is not full. Urges are not commands to go to the toilet, merely a signal and can be controlled. *** any amount of leaking is considered incontinence (peesing) *** Can Happen at any age *** You don't have to live with it Common Factors that affect the bladder and leaking Pregnancy Perimenopause/menopause Weight  LBP Injury,Trauma, surgery,scar tissue   How do we Get control of our bladder?

In today's episode we are speaking with Becky Rhew. Becky has been a practicing attorney for the last 20 years. Becky has a genetic condition called G6PD Deficiency. G6PD deficiency is an inherited condition. It is when the body doesn't have enough of an enzyme called G6PD (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase). This enzyme helps red blood cells work properly. A lack of this enzyme can cause hemolytic anemia. This is when the red blood cells break down faster than they are made. This caused a variety of digestive issues for her. Becky talks about her journey in discovering her diagnosis of G6PD and her path to healing. Follow us @pelvicorerehab and share any questions you have on Pelvic Health or share your experience overcoming Pelvic Health related issues.

To truly help the patient in front of us with low back pain and pelvic health complaints, what are the skills that we need to develop in order to be effective clinicians (breaking down the silos between orthopedics, pelvic health, pain science and lifestyle interventions)   Takeaways for listeners   Change is hard but non-negotiable….  We have to move beyond “paying lip service” to the biopsychosocial approach and really engage with this practice.   2023 is the year of change for clinicians.   Embrace it!  You will love it, your patients will love it   Where can you find more from Carolyn:   Carolyn@reframerehab.com   Website: www.reframerehab.com   Instagram: @Reframerehab   Facebook: @reframerehab Visit me at:   My Website: https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/   Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/pelvicorerehab   Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/pelvicorerehab/   Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/pelvichealthplus   YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCiEl1ZFlA5SzN44MhUwzgA?view_as=subscriber     Ebook Books links   Pregnancy Ebook:  https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/pain-free-pregnancy-guide   Bladder Leaking Ebook https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/leaking   8 steps to achieving pelvic healing  https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/   Pelvic Pain, Bladder leaking, and 8 steps to achieve pelvic healing https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/pelvicfloorguides   Pelvic Pain  https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/pelvicpain   Menopause Guide https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/menopauseguide   Postpartum ebook https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/headtotoewellnessformommyandbaby    

In this episode we talk with Trista Zinn. Trista has been a Personal Trainer in the Fitness Industry for just over 30 years. In 2012 I began streamlining her specialty to only seeing clients for Hypopressive Training. She is a Master Trainer for Hypopressive Technique and a  Hypopressive Course Instructor specializing in core and pelvic health. Follow us @pelvicorerehab and share any questions you have on Pelvic Health or share your experience overcoming Pelvic Health related issues.   Epsiode Notes:   In 2012 Trista Zinn was diagnosed with stage 2 bladder prolapse.   As a personal trainer for over 20 years, she was determined to find a holistic approach to her recovery - something other than surgery - which led her to train in the Hypopressive technique. With a decade of personal and professional experience in Hypopressives she continues to passionately spread the word and help others with this revolutionary approach to core and pelvic health. Trista Shares: Hypopressives use postures and poses with an apnea. It is a whole body exercise and can offer a deep myofascial release from deep within. Hypopressives retrains the reflexivity and automaticity of the deep core system  It is a breath practice that uses rest breaths and apneas to decrease pressure. Hypopressives activate your muscles reflexively as opposed to active recruitment of Kegels.  It is a practice and a flow that can be restorative and a great maintenance exercise.  Hypopressives help with neuromuscular retraining and proprioception. It can help those who do not feel connected to their pelvic floor and have a difficult time actively recruiting. Words Matter- We need to use caution when describing  what is going on in a client's body. We need to be honest but not pathologizing. Hypopressives can help with constipation, digestion, fascial release, nervous system regulation, pelvic organ prolapse, postpartum recovery. Avoid trying to learn the technique from online videos, it is so important to be sure that your technique is correct to get the benefit of it but also to be sure that you are performing it in a way that decreases pressure and not increasing intra-abdominal pressure Trista's Takeaways:  Be patient with yourself. It is a journey and along the way you will need to offer yourself the same kind supportive words you would offer a dear friend traveling along the similar journey. We can me sooo hard on ourselves. Listen to your body and be open to try new things and see what resonates the best with you.   Where to find more of  Trista: Instagram: instagram.com/hypopressives.can  on Instagram and  Web:coresetfitness.com  Web:https://hypopressivescanada.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Coresetfitness?mibextid=LQQJ4d YouTube : https://www.youtube.com/@tristazinn2170 Visit me at:   My Website: https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/   Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/pelvicorerehab   Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/pelvicorerehab/   Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/pelvichealthplus   YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCiEl1ZFlA5SzN44MhUwzgA?view_as=subscriber     Ebook Books links   Pregnancy Ebook:  https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/pain-free-pregnancy-guide   Bladder Leaking Ebook https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/leaking   8 steps to achieving pelvic healing  https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/   Pelvic Pain, Bladder leaking, and 8 steps to achieve pelvic healing https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/pelvicfloorguides   Pelvic Pain  https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/pelvicpain   Menopause Guide https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/menopauseguide   Postpartum ebook https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/headtotoewellnessformommyandbaby  

Today we had the pleasure of speaking with Kathryn Bregman, owner/founder of Badass Infertility. Kathryn is a fertility mindset coach, she shares her personal story of infertility to fertility. She shares invaluable insight into navigating this challenging process. She now helps others become empowered and confident in their fertility journey. Follow us @pelvicorerehab and share any questions you have on pelvic health or share your experience overcoming pelvic health related issues. Infertility Facts: Stats: 1 in 8  or 12%- 15% of couples struggle with infertility About 7 million American women IVF Success Rates: depend on many factors, such as age and the reasons for infertility. Overall, first-time IVF success rates often fall between 25-30% for most intended parents. However, this probability tends to increase after multiple IVF cycles.   Types of infertility: Primary infertility is when a pregnancy has never been achieved by a person. Secondary infertility is when at least one prior pregnancy has been achieved. Mechanical Infertility - Scarring from surgery. Pelvic surgery can damage and scar the fallopian tubes, which link the ovaries to the womb. … Some other causes of infertility? Hypothalamic amenorrhea -Women can experience hypothalamic amenorrhea when poor nutrition or stress interferes with the brain's regulation of the menstrual cycle. Fibroids PCOS Endometriosis. ... Pelvic inflammatory disease. ... Medicines and drugs/ toxins Premature Ovarian Insufficiency Women with POI do not ovulate (release an egg) every month. This makes it difficult to get pregnant. But studies have shown that a small percentage of women (5-10%) with idiopathic premature ovarian failure (where the cause is unknown) do sometimes ovulate and become pregnant. Factors that commonly affect Fertility: Stress (Emotional Trauma) -Inflammation- scar tissue  Stored emotional stress - our bodies respond to stress with muscle tension Books:  It All Starts with the Egg by: Rebecca Fett Wild Feminine by: Tami Kent Fertility Mindset Coaching: Your journey should start here. Having the right mindset will help you navigate the journey and help you make the right decisions and feel good about them  Everyone needs different things throughout their journey Mindset can help open your mind to take on changes that you may not have been open to before such as dietary changes.  Positive Support is so important, be mindful to avoid catastrophizing chat rooms. A mindset coach, pelvic floor physical therapist , acupuncturist are all potential resources for building a fertility journey village Exercise is important during the process What role did seeing a pelvic floor physical therapist play in your fertility experience? 1. Pelvic health was one of the most important things for me to look at when I was trying to conceive, and, unfortunately, it took me a long time to realize it because it wasn't on my doctors' typical list of things to investigate. So, my expertise comes from a few areas, one of them is personal experience.  I know the power of working on pelvic health because, aside from mindset, working with you was THE lynchpin in my pregnancy.   2.    Pelvic health matters for fertility for two main reasons, one is physical. For example, women who have endometriosis, like I did, or weak pelvic floors or tight  pelvic floors, (of which I had both) can see their fertility negatively impacted. 3.    My area of expertise is less on the physical side, though, and more on the emotional side. Emotional blocks can surface in the body, and for many women who are struggling to conceive releasing those blocks in both a physical and emotional/spiritual way is critical.  While I am not a therapist, I do help women come to realize what is or may be in their way and they become inspired to seek specialists who can help them get to the root cause and become the moms they are meant to be, but before they are in the right mindset, they tend to be stuck, frozen or just confused and hopeless about moving forward. Takeaways for listeners? 1. If you are struggling to conceive, what is blocking you may not be just physical.  Working to reset your mindset can create a clear path for you to make decisions, navigate the myriad competing recommendations, deal with the emotional ups and downs of the fertility journey and actually live it from a place of empowerment and joy. 2. When you get in the right mindset of truly believing you are meant to be a mom, the universe responds and miracles do occur. 3. If you like science, know that women who work with other women on the emotional side of the fertility journey are 65% more likely to become pregnant. That number includes women in support groups and those who seek ongoing support from other women who get it.

In today's episode we talk with Jaclyn Beck, she is a Business and Career Strategist, Founder and Principal of a boutique consulting and executive coaching firm launched after 14 years in private equity she is also a client at Pelvicore Rehab.    Follow us @pelvicorerehab and share any questions you have on Pelvic Health or share your experience overcoming Pelvic Health related issues.   Episode Notes: Many times people have pain points in several different areas of the body, they get treated but often it's only temporarily relieved. This is because the area that was symptomatic was treated NOT the root cause. Healing any pelvic health issue always requires a whole body approach. We look at the big picture and listen to people's story and connect the dots into a cohesive plan for healing. The core is meant to be automatic and reflexive. Sometimes we lose this automaticity or the speed of recruitment is delayed and compensatory movement patterns are integrated.  We need to retrain the core and generate support for our bodies from the center.  It is always recommended that Pregnant women initiate pelvic floor physical therapy during pregnancy. This helps them maintain optimal and efficient movement strategies and alignment. It will facilitate a faster postpartum recovery and may prevent pregnancy.  The ENTIRE deep core system is led by the breath. The breath is magical and can help heal any system in the body.  Book Recommendation: Breath by: James Nester Gluts + Pelvic Floor Muscles = BFF You need to have strong gluts to have a healthy pelvic floor Follow us here:   My Website: https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/   Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/pelvicorerehab   Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/pelvicorerehab/   Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/pelvichealthplus   YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCiEl1ZFlA5SzN44MhUwzgA?view_as=subscriber   Free Ebook Books links:   Pregnancy Ebook:  https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/pain-free-pregnancy-guide   Bladder Leaking Ebook https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/leaking   8 steps to achieving pelvic healing  https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/   Pelvic Pain, Bladder leaking, and 8 steps to achieve pelvic healing https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/pelvicfloorguides   Pelvic Pain  https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/pelvicpain   Menopause Guide https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/menopauseguide   Postpartum ebook https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/headtotoewellnessformommyandbaby     Website: https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCiEl1ZFlA5SzN44MhUwzgA  

In today's episode we talked with Heather Koerner owner/founder of East Boca Acupuncture. Heather is an Acupuncturist/Doctor of Chinese Medicine.    Heather was open and spoke about her personal healing pelvic health journey. We also dive into a great conversation about 5 elements in nature that we all embody.   Chinese Medicine asserts that each of us has a guardian element that shapes how we move through the world and how we react to stressors in the world. When the proverbial “stuff” hits the fan this element takes over and gives us a strategy to deal with the stress. When we are in acute or chronic stress of pain we often get locked in some habituated physiological patterns.  Follow us @pelvicorerehab and share any questions you have on Pelvic Health or share your experience overcoming Pelvic Health related issues.    Episode Notes: Personal Challenges: Heather talks openly about her personal pelvic health challenge with  Endometriosis (Chronic Pelvic Pain, Pain with sex, Post-surgical Adhesions) She talks about the extensive journey of tests and doctors she had to visit before one finally recommended pelvic floor physical therapy.  Once Heather began pelvic PT she was able to switch her mindset from being injured to returning to activities that bring you joy without worry because she was finally given tools and resources for healing and finally felt empowered instead of frustrated and powerless. Consistency with her healing program was the most challenging part for her. As a client with Pelvicore Rehab Heather felt  confident she was going to have a Safe, supportive and  empowering experience. Pelvic Floor Physical therapy gave her real hope for long term healing. What would Heather have done differently knowing what she knows now??? She says she would've gotten PT and explored alternative routes earlier on.   5 Elements in Nature  : There are many patterns because we can have either an exaggeration or a collapse of the elements but generally speaking we tend to see these strategies with patients:  Fire: Seeks fun and novelty as a distraction  Wood: Dig Deeper & Push Harder Earth: Give more & do more for others  Metal: Seek perfection & Isolate  Water:  Freeze & Go inward (literally feeling like they're underwater)    Once we figure out our element we can “nurture our nature” and we can reduce the impacts of the discomfort and spend more time feeling strong in our element. Basically, working smarter not harder. At the end of the day we are really trying to optimize and harmonize.    Optimizing is just a  self-awareness of what your needs for safety are and how to meet them. This allows you to better regulate in the midst of adversity or healing.    Harmonizing is finding a way to deal with the experience with more ease. We talk about how disease is actually two root words “dis” and “ease” so “without ease”. When we can feel resistance and ask ourselves open-ended questions like “what's of value here?” We can create space to integrate the experience with a little less resistance which ultimately allows for less contraction in the body.You learn which people feel nurturing and promote growth and which people you're going to have to take a deep breath and access your resource for patience.   The cool thing about us working together is that we are very much in alignment with the proper empowerment and strategies that people can overcome things the never thought possible.    You can find Heather here: www.instagram.com/eastbocacupuncture/ www.facebook.com/eastbocaacupuncture.com/ www.eastbocaacupuncture.com Follow us here: My Website: https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/ Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/pelvicorerehab Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/pelvicorerehab/ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/pelvichealthplus YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCiEl1ZFlA5SzN44MhUwzgA?view_as=subscriber Free Ebook Books links: Pregnancy Ebook:  https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/pain-free-pregnancy-guide Bladder Leaking Ebook https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/leaking 8 steps to achieving pelvic healing  https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/ Pelvic Pain, Bladder leaking, and 8 steps to achieve pelvic healing https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/pelvicfloorguides Pelvic Pain  https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/pelvicpain Menopause Guide https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/menopauseguide Postpartum ebook https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/headtotoewellnessformommyandbaby Website: https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCiEl1ZFlA5SzN44MhUwzgA

In this episode, I talk about why it is so important for people to understand their basic pelvic floor/core anatomy and its function. Having an understanding of how our bodies work allows us to identify common dysfunctions and seek the help we need to correct them. It empowers us to effectively advocate for ourselves and have better communication with our healthcare providers in order to get the help we need.    Follow us @pelvicorerehab and share any questions you have on Pelvic Health or share your experience overcoming Pelvic Health related issues.    Episode Notes: What you will Learn: What is the pelvic floor?  What are the functions of the pelvic floor? What does this have to do with the core? How does the core really work?  What determines how well the core works?  What can happen if the system is not working optimally? Pelvic floor dysfunction can happen when….? What are some changes that can affect the pelvic floor? Symptoms that the core is not working : 4 P's  Peeing- any kind of urinary incontinence (leaking),dribbling, urinary urgency, urinary frequency Pooping - fecal incontinence, fecal smearing, inability to hold back gas, constipation, incomplete evacuation Pain- Including pelvic pain, back pain, bra line pain, groin pain, hip pain pain with sex (Is NEVER normal!) Pressure- perineal pressure, rectal pressure, a feeling of dragging or organ dropping   “To Kegel or NOT to Kegel That is the Question”-  There is no one size fits all, just like any other exercise, kegels must be individualize Must be sure that you are performing them correctly and through all three layers of the pelvic floor muscles We use a FIIT: Frequency, Intensity, Interval, Timing prescription to individualize plan  Some people get WORSE when doing kegels if they are holding tension in the pelvic floor , Kegels are NOT for everyone !   Takeaways… Knowledge is Power! Know your basic anatomy and how it works! There is no “one size fits all” exercise for anyone, exercise should be individualized The deep core system should be treated as a whole, all components need to communicate and work in coordination with each other.  What is common is NOT always normal!

In today's episode, we chatted with Dr. Shivani Gupta. She is an Ayurvedic  practitioner and the founder/ formulator of Fusionary Formulas. Ayurveda is a system of medicine, health and healing from India that's over 5000 years old.  India has its own system of medicine that includes all aspects of medicine such as pediatrics, oncology, obstetrics and surgery but it also includes preventative health.  Ayurveda means the science of life. It  also focuses on self care, nutrition, metabolism, and our brain health. It's a connection of physical, emotional and spiritual health.    Follow us @pelvicorerehab and share any questions you have on Pelvic Health or share your experience overcoming Pelvic Health related issues.    Episode notes: We need to look at Pelvic Health and Health in general in an empowered way. We've been trained to blame aches and pension aging. But if we remain proactive using an incorporating an Ayurvedic approach, we can remain vibrant throughout our life span. The Dosha - everyone has their own unique individual mind-body constitution. They are divided into three groups. Once you have the self awareness to understand what your individual Dosha is, you can live your most vibrant life. Having this information about yourself can improve your overall health. Pelvic Health and Ayurveda complement each other beautifully, in that each person has their own unique constitution. There is the belief that all systems must be working well for the body to stay on track, stay balanced, and re-calibrate itself if there's an injury, illness or interruption. 50% of our population is diagnosed with leaky gut syndrome, and other autoimmune diseases and chronic inflammation. Turmeric is a powerful anti-inflammatory and gut healer. This led Dr. Shivani Gupta to develop a high quality turmeric supplement called Turmeric Gold and Inflammation Relief. Persistent inflammation can be an obstacle in healing bowel, bladder, and sexual dysfunction. In order to get long-term pelvic healing, we need to eliminate inflammation and optimize gut health. Using Turmeric has benn shown to be effective in healing both. In order to have good Pelvic Health you need to have good gut health. Fusionary Formulas has developed teas using principles of Ayurveda to help optimize sleep and circadian rhythm and an Ayurvedic tea for hormone balance that can help women in menopause, struggling with sleep, disturbances, and ease hot flashes.   Dr. Shivani Gupta can be found at:  www.FusionaryFormulas.com  www.ShivaniGupta.com https://www.FusionaryMethod.com/  6-Week Ayurveda Immersion - Fusionary Method Free 7-Day Inflammation Detox Challenge https://www.facebook.com/TheShivaniGupta https://www.instagram.com/dr.shivanigupta/ https://www.youtube.com/@shivaniguptaphd-modernayur877 https://www.facebook.com/FusionaryFormulas https://www.instagram.com/fusionaryformulasrx/ https://www.youtube.com/@Fusionaryformulas   Follow us here:   My Website: https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/   Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/pelvicorerehab   Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/pelvicorerehab/   Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/pelvichealthplus   YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCiEl1ZFlA5SzN44MhUwzgA?view_as=subscriber   Free Ebook Books links:   Pregnancy Ebook:  https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/pain-free-pregnancy-guide   Bladder Leaking Ebook https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/leaking   8 steps to achieving pelvic healing  https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/   Pelvic Pain, Bladder leaking, and 8 steps to achieve pelvic healing https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/pelvicfloorguides   Pelvic Pain  https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/pelvicpain   Menopause Guide https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/menopauseguide   Postpartum ebook https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/headtotoewellnessformommyandbaby    

Welcome to Episode 1 of Your Pelvic Health Podcast. In today's episode I talk about why I am so passionate about pelvic health and wellness, so much so that I gave up my concierge outpatient rehab business seven years ago to launch and become the owner/founder of Pelvicore Rehab and pursue my dream of providing an amazing healing experience for people with Pelvic Health issues.   Follow us @pelvicorerehab and share any questions you have on pelvic health or share your experience overcoming pelvic health related issues. Episode Notes:  My journey to specializing in Pelvic Health began with helping men going through Prostate Cancer. I developed a “Prehab” Program for men to jump start their healing before their procedure. I also helped them recover after prostate cancer procedures and for those struggling with urinary leaking, constipation, sexual/erectile dysfunction  and pelvic pain. I really enjoyed this work. There is a lack of awareness that pelvic floor issues affect men, they are really underserved in the field of pelvic floor physical therapy and often suffer for too long before finding their way to a pelvic floor specialist.  I immersed myself into all things pelvic health and quickly developed a passion, determination and drive to help those struggling with pelvic health issues and expanded Pelvicore Rehab To help EVERYONE struggling and searching for pelvic healing.  Pelvicore Rehab  helps men, women and children throughout their lifespan with issues ranging from bladder leakage to constipation to painful sex. We support women prenatally, for pregnancy wellness, for postnatal care and for menopause health. Pelvicore helps men overcome all pelvic floor related issues including but not limited to urinary, prostate, and sexual dysfunction. Pelvicore Rehab is unique because we use a holistic approach in order to create a comprehensive, cohesive, and individualized plan of care to meet each client's unique needs and goals. We look at the big picture of healing from a total body perspective. We listen to people's stories and gather the information we need to put the pieces of their pelvic health puzzle together in order to help them achieve long lasting relief.  We love being pain detectives!! What also sets us apart is that we use a Biopsychosocial Approach to healing because we understand that there is ALWAYS a physical AND Emotional component to healing and BOTH must be addressed for long term healing. Many times, people with pelvic health issues are bounced from one specialist to another, leaving them with varying opinions, unclear diagnosis, and without a cohesive plan of action. This can be frustrating, confusing and overwhelming for people. Often, patients are treated with medications that provide only temporary relief because they don't address the underlying/ root cause of the problem, oftentimes this is pelvic floor dysfunction. My  mission is to help people reclaim their lives and return to activities that bring them joy. I am committed to educating, spreading awareness and  providing the highest level of care to optimize pelvic health and healing, ultimately elevating the overall quality of life for people that we help. This is truly what excites me and keeps me motivated and driven! Please reach out and let me know which pelvic health topics YOU want to learn more about!
