This birth story today is with Carissa, a first time mum to a 6 month old boy. Carissa shares her journey of becoming a mother. Trying to fall pregnant naturally for almost 2 years with two early losses; then seeing a fertility specialist who helped her fall pregnant. Fast forward to pregnancy; Carissa was sick with mild HG from week 8 to birth.   Carissa tested positive to GDM at 18 weeks, and ended up having to be induced due to multiple reduced movements. Carissa describes an 'amazing birth with zero issues'. Postpartum, Carissa was diagnosed with postpartum depression and anxiety at 4 months postpartum. Even though becoming a mother was something  she had wanted for so, so long, she reports it has been a journey with multiple difficult moments.  And as Carissa describes, "It's all been worth it. Every single bad moment. Completely worth it".LINKS:Preparing for birth Pelvic health checklistFree 7 Day Trial Pregnancy WorkoutsFree 7 Day Trial Postnatal WorkoutsFitNest Mama WebsiteInstagram @fitnestmamaCarrisa's Instagram and Tiktok handles are @carissa_mcholmeCarissa's small biz is: www.tlcbody.com.auHuge Black Friday sale with up to 40% off selected styles Thursday 23rd November to Monday 27th November. https://au.storksak.com/

The pelvic examination is a standard component of the annual gynecologic visit despite limited evidence supporting its utility. Pelvic examinations can be a source of discomfort and anxiety for some patients seeking routine health care, whereas, for others, they can offer reassurance. In 2018, the ACOG released CO 754 on "The Utility of and Indications for Routine Pelvic Examination". What does the AAFP, ACP, and ACOG say about "routine" pelvic examinations in low-risk, nonpregnant, and asymptomatic women? Why do they say what they do? In this episode, we will summarize a new publication from Obstetrics & Gynecology which was just released yesterday (November 9, 2023) which validates these professional societies' guidelines/stances.

In this episode, Erica and Susan welcome Julia Rosenthal to the mic.  Julia is a physical therapist in NYC. She brings a complex case of a postpartum patient of hers who has symptoms of urinary incontinence as well as other bowel and bladder issues that were made worse after giving birth.  The patient is a personal trainer and used to high-load exercise, so the need to get back to this is strong. She also has complaints of abdominal bloating along with occasional musculoskeletal pain with CKC lower extremity work.  This discussion is rich in treatment interventions for Julia's patient- from nutritional strategies to hormonal interventions to specific exercises the patient can do while feeling like she is loading her system in the necessary ways. Erica and Susan also discuss the importance of the thorax and its relationship to the pelvis and how best to balance these 2 regions of the body.   A glance at this episode: [2:13] Pelvic floor and orthopedic physical therapy for a postpartum woman with GI issues and fecal smearing [9:50] Postpartum bladder issues and musculoskeletal complaints [17:33] Thyroid issues and autoimmune disorders [21:36] Assessment and intervention for a patient with chronic constipation and pelvic floor dysfunction [27:36] Patient's pelvic floor mobility and lifestyle changes [33:06] Abdominal issues and breathing patterns [38:01] Managing IBS symptoms through breathing exercises and mindful eating [44:02] Using Nerva app for mental health [47:31] Exercises for a pregnant woman with thoracic issues [53:27] Addressing a personal trainer's physical and mental health issues [1:00:01] Patient care and therapy approaches.   Related links: Tough To Treat Website Erica's Course: Decoding the Complex Patient Susan's Pelvic Health Education Subscription Access the Transcript  Julia Rosenthal Website Julia Rosenthal IG

Timestamps and Main Points 2:41 – Where contrast works its way onto the track, and the nature of a “complicated” training stimulus 9:59 – The nature of proprioception as a key training variable 18:58 – Boo's take on the work of Giles Cometti and Jean Pierre Egger, and coaching creativity 23:35 – Boo's take on drills versus doing the entire skill 36:31 – What Boo considers to be the basics, or fundamentals that is taught, versus things that are up to the athlete 41:56 – Favorite setups in speed work, such as plyometric contrast 45:29 – Thoughts on reflexive action of the swing leg coming down towards the ground, versus forcing it down 54:55 – Pelvic mechanics, and the “center” of where speed is produced in athletics 1:02:07 – Heavy wave-loading and potentiation with Olympic lifts specifically 1:04:07 – Boo's take on Olympic weightlifting in light of track and field, as well as team sports Boo Schexnayder Quotes “A lot of these contrast methods, what they do is play proprioceptive games… and as a result of that you get a complicated training environment, and a certain sharpness, and adaptation comes as a result” “Variety in practice improves transfer to the test, yet variety in practice often decreases the level of practice performance, so what I'm saying is that mixing these things up is likely to make them struggle in the practice environment, but when you put them (out in competition) it all gels and they shine” “I don't think complexes are good or applicable at all times of the year; because sometimes they are at such a high level from a proprioceptive and complexity standpoint that they are out of reach at certain times of the year.

What happens when the goal is not just to reduce pain or remedy a pelvic health "disorder", but actually to prioritize pleasure?What if it was possible to actually feel safe in your body, to listen to yourself, to gently ease into what authentically feels good for you... one step at a time.It's tremendously easy to feel shame around any kind of health challenge, but somehow even easier to feel shame around the pain or dysfunction that shows up in our pelvis.I mean, who wants to talk about not being able to hold their pee in, or how they haven't been able to have sex without pain (or a trauma response) for years - maybe ever.It's not the kind of stuff we share freely with our friends, and may not even share it with our partners. Pelvic health OT Laura Rowan helps clients to feel less pain and more pleasure in their pelvis and throughout their lives. It's not just about the pelvic organs, or sex, or pain.Through manual therapies, vagus nerve stimulation practices, breathwork, vocalization, educating her clients on their own anatomy and more, she integrates a diverse tapestry of modalities to create a truly integrative approach to sexual and pelvic health. You'll hear all about these and more in today's episode. Listen to learn:how occupational therapists approach pelvic "dysfunction" differentlywhat pelvic health imbalances can feel and look likewhy the root cause may have nothing to do with your pelvisthe importance of the nervous system in pelvic healthhow breathing & vocalization can pay a role in pelvic healingwhy reducing pain should not be the ONLY goalhow to enhance your sexual pleasure (one step at a time)ways to gain confidence in your sexual experiencewhy "communication is lubrication"Resources:Today's shownotes: Get all the resources + links Laura shares about hereEpisode 19: Pelvic health & liberation w/ Chaya Leia AronsonEpisode 39: The practice of pleasure w/ Usha RoseEpisode 52: Beyond aphrodisiacs - herbs to enhance pleasureEpisode 61: Pelvic wisdom w/ Dr Emily WilsonEpisode 64: Vagus nerve + sexual arousal If you loved this episode, share it with a friend, or take a screenshot and share on social media and tag me @herbalwombwisdom.  And if you love this podcast, leave a rating & write a review!

"I don't pee my pants, so why would I need to go to pelvic floor therapy?" This is was I thought just one short year ago, yet little did I know that the pain in my back & the weakness still in my core 8 months postpartum was due to pelvic floor dysfunction.   In today's episode, I talk with Dr. Julie Haake, DPT. She specializes in pelvic floor physical therapy and will help you better understand WHAT the pelvic floor is, WHY it's important for moms to seek out pelvic floor physical therapy, WHEN it's ideal for moms to seek out treatment, and so much more!   Put your thinking caps on and get ready to learn about your body! And don't forget that just because something is COMMON does NOT mean it is normal!   HEADS UP, MAMA: We are talking female anatomy, so don't be caught off guard by any terms if you usually listen in the car with your kids.

In this episode, I sit down with registered nurse, Kirsten Curruthers who was curious to know ways she can better support her patients who undergo colonoscopy. Here are some of the things we discuss: Common patient symptom patterns Kirsten notices in the colonoscopy clinicAdvice typically given when colonoscopy results are negative How the pelvic floor is related to our gastrointestinal systemHow a pelvic floor physiotherapist can help with stool incontinence or feelings of inadequate emptying after bowel movementsWays pelvic floor physiotherapy can help people suffering with constipationHow constipation and straining can contribute to GI pathologyWays that breathing and abdominal wall function affect bowel function/motilityBenefits that pelvic floor physiotherapy may have for have for those with irritable bowel disorders (crohns, ulcerative colitis) even when in remission.The importance of a biopsychosocial treatment approachKirsten has been a Registered Nurse for 12 years, in a variety of acute care settings, most recently in the Endoscopy Suite at her local hospital. In one of her past lives, she also spent a few years as Personal Trainer, working with Perinatal women, and became passionate about all things pelvic health, as a result of her own diagnosis of Pelvic organ prolapse. Through working with pelvic health physiotherapy, and incorporating the strategies she learned at physio into her personal training practice, she was able to see the value knowledge of how the core functions could help women in all stages of life. This was further compounded when she began working in the Endoscopy suite, as she began to see the connections between pelvic health and colon health and function. This crossover between two worlds allowed Kirsten to see the gap in knowledge between gastroenterology and physiotherapy which sparked her interest into learning more and developing connections. Kirsten believes that education is power when it comes to your health, and strives to share as much knowledge as possible with her patients and peers, and takes every opportunity to share what she has learned, whether that means presentations to colleagues, or sitting down with a patient and making a plan of care that meets their needs.Cheerful AcademyLearn more about the next Pelvic Health Fundamentals cohort here (Starts Jan 2024):www.thecheerfulacademy.comClick on this link for $150 off applied at checkout:Discount linkOr enter code: 150offDiscount code in effect until Dec 15th 2023Thanks for joining me!

Look beyond the traditional regional approach of the pelvis and pelvic floor and understand how discovering and addressing dysfunctions of the trigeminal and respiratory system including the voice and heart rate variability can have an impact on pelvic health.  HRV is a well-researched indicator of the balance between the Sympathetic and the Parasympathetic nervous systems.  The balance has a large impact on the performance of the GI system and can influence pain, motility, and inflammation.  Working with Breath, Voice, and HRV can not only predict dysfunction but is an excellent metric to guide interventions in different domains. This 2 part replay of a webinar is designed to expand your current practice through evidence-based and biologically plausible methods of examination and intervention into the thoracic, and cervical systems harnessing the breath and the voice can optimize respiratory mechanics and heart rate variability.   A glance at this episode: [1:41] Pelvic floor and breathing patterns [4:12] What is GI dysfunction and why is it so prevalent [5:41] The diaphragm and coughing and sneezing 8:22] The diaphragm needs to match the demands of the activity [10:26] The diaphragm position [12:25] The diaphragm and the chest wall [15:09] How the diaphragm is connected to the regional nerves and inflammation [17:21] Psoas as a trunk muscle vs. hip flexor   Related links: Tough To Treat Website Erica's Course: Decoding the Complex Patient Susan's Pelvic Health Education Subscription Access the Transcript

On this week's podcast, we meet a physiotherapist who specializes in this area of the body.
