Pelvic floor issues are often seen as an inevitable part of getting older, having children, or going through menopause. But what if many of the symptoms women experience are actually signs that the body is asking for support rather than something we simply have to accept?In this episode, I chat to Jana Shirley, a pelvic floor and women's health specialist, Pilates practitioner and founder of The Vitality Method. With more than 21 years of experience helping women overcome chronic pain, pelvic floor dysfunction and movement challenges, Jana brings both professional expertise and personal insight to this conversation.Together, we explore the often-overlooked connection between the pelvic floor, breathing patterns, nervous system regulation and overall wellbeing. Jana explains why leaking, prolapse symptoms and back pain aren't always caused by weakness, why chronic tension can sometimes be the hidden issue, and how creating safety in the body is often a crucial first step towards healing.In this episode you'll learn:Why leaking when you cough, sneeze, laugh or exercise doesn't always mean your pelvic floor is weakThe difference between a weak pelvic floor and a chronically tight pelvic floor, and why it mattersHow your breathing patterns influence pelvic floor function, posture and core stabilityWhy activating the parasympathetic nervous system can support healing, recovery and strengthSimple exercises and practical tools you can use to begin supporting your pelvic floor and reconnecting with your bodyIf you've ever felt confused about pelvic floor health, frustrated by symptoms, or curious about how breath, movement and nervous system regulation work together, this episode offers a compassionate and empowering place to start.To find out more about Jana:https://www.instagram.com/vitality_method/https://pilateshuddersfield.co.uk/Download 15 Breaths to Calm Anxiety - a FREE 5 minute audio to calm you down in real time.Download The Breath Check-Up - your FREE guide to understanding how well you're breathing right now.Download my energising 5 Minute Morning Practice to get your day started in the best way possible.To find out more about my membership The Inner Space go to:  https://www.pollywarren.com/theinnerspaceEmail me at:  info@pollywarren.comhttps://www.pollywarren.com/https://www.instagram.com/pollywarrencoaching/

Beverly Atkins is the founder of pauseture, a mobile app that brings the Feldenkrais method, one of the most powerful and least known somatic practices in the world, to people who need it. She stumbled into it after putting her back out and not being able to walk upright for three weeks. What she found changed not just her back, but her relationship with her body, her food, her emotions, and her entire nervous system.I have been using the app myself and I cannot recommend it enough. So we sat down to talk about all of it.This episode is for you if:You feel disconnected from your body and live mostly in your headYou have tried meditation or breath work and it made your anxiety worse, not betterYou are in recovery and need something gentle to replace compulsive exerciseYou carry tension, chronic pain or bracing in your body that nothing seems to shiftYou want to understand how stored trauma shows up physically and how movement can release itYou are curious about somatic healing but don't know where to startIn this episode, we cover:✨ Beverly's personal story of body hatred, extreme exercise, back injury and how she accidentally found the Feldenkrais method✨ What the Feldenkrais method actually is, and why it is so different from yoga, pilates or conventional exercise✨ Why the lessons ask you to close your eyes, go slowly and stop comparing yourself to anyone else✨ How 24 days of gentle movement lessons changed Beverly's relationship with food at her calorie-abundant workplace✨ Why Beverly stopped working out entirely for 18 months and what happened when she returned to movement✨ Why traditional meditation and breath work made Beverly's anxiety worse, and why movement meditation worked instead✨ How the method builds neuroplasticity and rewires habitual patterns in the brain✨ Why the nervous system must feel safe before it can learn anything new✨ The pelvis, trauma and bracing: what Beverly witnessed in her private practice with clients who had experienced sexual abuse✨ Interoception and proprioception: noticing how you feel inside your body and how you fit in the world around you✨ How this work can support body image and body dysmorphia by helping you sense your body accurately rather than just see it✨ Why going smaller and slower in the lessons is where the most profound change happens✨ How finding choice in movement quietly creates choice in every other area of life✨ How to access the app, the free trial and how to find a Feldenkrais practitioner near youPowerful quotes from the episode:

In this episode, consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist Dr Fadi joins Laura for an open, practical conversation about pelvic floor health, incontinence, prolapse and the realities of modern obstetrics.Dr Fadi explains how childbirth, ageing and menopause affect the pelvic floor, and why so many women end up living with stress incontinence, prolapse and faecal incontinence in silence. He walks through the full range of treatment options — from physiotherapy and pessaries to urethral bulking, Botox, sacral neuromodulation, robotic surgery, and the mesh procedures paused in Ireland since 2018.The conversation also takes in interstitial cystitis, vaginal oestrogen, the impact of long inductions on older mothers, and the trade-offs women now weigh up between a vaginal delivery and a caesarean section. Dr Fadi closes with a reflection on his time working with Syrian refugees, where he met 13-year-old mothers and a 26-year-old grandmother.

Contributor: Aaron Lessen, MD Educational Pearls:   UTIs are commonly seen in older women We often see them taking long-term prophylactic antibiotics because of common recurrence. Around 20-30% of older women who develop a UTI have a recurrence due to either diagnostic failure, treatment failure or non-compliance with treatment.  UTI signs and symptoms Burning sensation when urinating Strong urge to urinate Urinating often and passing small amounts of urine.  Pelvic pain    There are currently more guidelines and studies on treatments to prevent these recurrent UTIs in women that we can start in the Emergency Department. Vaginal estrogen has been shown to significantly reduce this issue of recurrence. Very simple prescriptions can be prescribed in the ED It has little systemic absorption and is generally very safe and effective.   References Wells BA, De EJB, Visingardi J, Feustel PJ.

Hello & Welcome To Today's Episode! Today's guest has a unique perspective as she's both a high performance athlete AND a pelvic physio who is passionate about keeping girls and women involved in sport.Clodagh McIntyre is a rising star in physiotherapy who is both an inter-county camogie player for Tipperary and a pelvic health physiotherapist. Clodagh discussed her journey from UCD graduate to working in private practice, her experiences with stress incontinence as an athlete, and the lack of pelvic health education in physio training programs. We explored how pelvic health issues affect female athletes, with statistics showing 7 out of 10 athletes leaving sport due to bladder leakage, and discussed the taboo nature of discussing these topics within sporting teams. We discussed the importance of education and support around pelvic health issues for female athletes, highlighting the lack of standardization in GAA and potentially LGFA, as well as emphasising the need to normalize conversations about these issues and prevent them from deterring athletes from participating in sports.Clodagh shared her upcoming trip to Kenya with Warriors for Humanity and Self-Help Africa, where she plans to plant trees and help communities, for which she is fundraising. Please see linked below to her fundraiser! https://www.idonate.ie/fundraiser/clodaghmcintyre Our shared passion is definitely showcasing the conversation and embedding pelvic health into female athlete wellbeing : there's SUCH a need for better education about pelvic health at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, as well as within sporting organizations, to support female athletes and prevent them from dropping out of sport due to pelvic health issues.Want to learn more about supporting the Female Athlete, and promoting pelvic and menstrual health? The Menstrual Detective online course comes with FREE access to the course 'Pelvic Health for the Young Female Athlete, where we look at all the potential drivers for pelvic health dysfunction, beyond isolated strengthening for the pelvic floor muscles.

You're two, three, maybe five years into practice. Your patients get results. Your reviews are solid. And yet — the schedule fills and empties in waves, the income plateaus, and you can't figure out why working harder isn't moving the needle.Here's what nobody told you in your DPT program: growth isn't a clinical problem. It's a structural one. And most pelvic health providers spend years trying to out-skill a business problem they were never trained to see.In this episode, Kelly breaks down the real reasons pelvic practices plateau — the referral trap that keeps you dependent on other providers, the pricing structure silently capping your income, and the positioning gap that makes your practice invisible to the exact patients you built it for.This isn't about working harder or adding more certifications. It's about the four structural bottlenecks that separate the practices growing past $20K months from the ones stuck in the feast-and-famine cycle — and the diagnostic Kelly uses with PelviBiz clients to find the break in under 20 minutes.By the end of this episode, you'll know exactly which bottleneck is holding your practice back — and what to fix first.KEY TAKEAWAYSDoing good clinical work is not a growth strategy — referral dependency, pricing, and positioning are business problems that require business solutionsA practice that fills and empties in waves has a structural problem, not a marketing problemThe diagnostic question every plateaued pelvic PT needs to answer before adding more con-ed, more services, or more hours

Send us Fan MailA torn ACL can change a teenager's life in a single play, and it can echo decades later as arthritis and knee replacements. Speaking of Women's Health Podcast host Dr. Holly Thacker sits down with physical therapist Vince Whalen to talk about why ACL tears hit female athletes so often, why many happen without contact, and how a simple prevention approach can make a measurable difference. Vince breaks down the FIFA Plus routine and the mechanics that matter most: hip control, balance, landing position, and the glute strength that keeps the knee from collapsing into risky alignment.Pelvic floor therapy is a major focus, especially stress urinary incontinence and chronic pelvic pain. We unpack a key insight: many patients have too much pelvic floor tone, so doing random Kegels can actually worsen symptoms. Vince shares how to find a pelvic floor trained therapist, what to expect if you're nervous about internal exams, and how telehealth physical therapy can help after an in-person evaluation. They close with the McKenzie Method for back pain, posture habits that drive symptoms, and practical training tips for golfers and active adults.Support the show

In her 20's, Jana Danielson got off of 11 medications, ended chronic pain, and reclaimed her body and health sovereignty, and it had nothing to do with doctors, surgeries, or even supplements.One MAJOR factor? Learning how to breathe again. Pretty simple but how many focus on their breath to heal?In this episode, I sit down with Jana Danielson, Pilates master instructor, fascia expert, and creator of the Cooch Ball — a simple, multi-purpose pelvic floor fitness tool.Jana went from a 21-year-old on 11 daily prescriptions, dismissed by her own doctor, to becoming pain-free and an advocate and teacher to others wanting to do the same.I've never studied the importance of the pelvic floor personally, so I am so grateful for coming across Jana and her work. She makes it so interesting and practical, and explains clearly this essential component to our good health - for women AND men. We all have pelvic floors and pelvic floor health is not just for women!You will learn how there is a good chance your pelvic floor is too tight rather than too weak, how your toes and feet are affecting you, the crazy connection between your big toe and pelvic floor and so, so much more!

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, I share the honest conversation I wish someone had shared with me before my first pregnancy. Looking back now as a pelvic floor physiotherapist and mum of three, there are so many things I would approach differently when it comes to birth prep, pelvic floor support, and postpartum recovery.This episode is not about fear or chasing the “perfect” birth. It is about understanding your body, feeling informed, and giving yourself the support you deserve during pregnancy, birth, and beyond.In this episode, we discuss:What I would personally do differently if I was pregnant for the first time againWhy there is no one “perfect” type of birthHow age and genetics may influence pelvic floor recoveryThe importance of pelvic floor assessments during pregnancyOveractive pelvic floor and how it may affect birthWhy learning to relax the pelvic floor matters just as much as strengthening itHow pelvic floor assessments help create baseline postpartum recovery goalsThe role of regular exercise during pregnancy for childbirth and recoveryPerineal massage and reducing the risk of severe tearingWhy I believe every woman deserves a proper 6-week postnatal checkThe importance of postpartum rehab and recovery supportWhy I would avoid excessive “birth prep stretches”The mistake I made by doing too much too soon postpartumWhat I wish I knew about labour, transition, and birth educationMy reflections on epidurals and pelvic floor relaxationWhy postpartum recovery deserves far more attention and supportWhether you're currently pregnant, preparing for birth, or navigating postpartum recovery, I hope this episode helps you feel more informed, supported, and reassured that every birth journey is unique.https://www.fitnestmama.comLINKS:Preparing for birth Pelvic health checklistFree 7 Day Trial Pregnancy WorkoutsFree 7 Day Trial Postnatal WorkoutsFitNest Mama WebsiteInstagram @kathbaquie.physio1:1 Consultation with Physio Kath at Hatched House** This podcast has general information only.

Most of us are holding on — in our bodies, our identities, our relationships — without even knowing it. This conversation is about learning to let go."We're really good at holding on — to our material things, our identity, our grudges, our correctness. But letting go, that muscle is a little weak in us." — Leslie HowardLeslie is a yoga teacher, pelvic health specialist, death doula, and author of Pelvic Liberation and the forthcoming Between Breath and Death. In this wide-ranging conversation, she shares how chronic pain led her to specialize in pelvic floor health, why most people (including athletes and yoga practitioners) are too tight — not too loose — and how the same principle of letting go that heals the pelvic floor also applies to identity, suffering, and ultimately, death.We explore:• Why 75% of the people Leslie works with have a hypertonic (too tight) pelvic floor — and what causes it• The connection between trauma, breathing patterns, and chronic pelvic tension• How savasana can be a portal to genuine non-dual experience• The relationship between over-identification with the self and suffering• Gratitude as a daily practice — and why the details matter• What sitting with dying people has taught Leslie about how to liveLeslie's websiteNew book—If this conversation resonated with you, please subscribe and share it with someone who might need it.0:00 Introduction0:08 How Leslie found her way into yoga, pelvic health & death work4:08 Pelvic floor 101: what's actually going on for most people5:35 Hypertonic pelvic floor — why tight isn't the same as strong6:26 Trauma, breathing, and chronic pelvic holding7:37 Tone vs. tightness: what we actually want from the pelvic floor8:15 Body awareness, attention & the limits of knowing your own body10:24 Sexual conditioning, shame & their effect on pelvic health14:15 Are men's and women's pelvic floor issues that different?16:46 Savasana as a taught pose — Leslie's approach19:17 Why stillness has become a radical act20:48 Practical tools for a guided savasana: mantra, mudra & breath22:18 The experience of "no Leslie" — dissolving identity in savasana24:43 Over-identification with self as the root of suffering25:16 What does oneness actually imply?

Show Notes HOST Melody Hartzler | | Book Appointment AROUND THE TABLE Becky Parr | | Visit Website AROUND THE TABLE Kristen Schulte | Visit Website In Today's Episode In this episode of Table Talk, Melody sits down with physical therapists Becky Parr and Kristen Schulte to explore the evolving role of physical therapy in women's health, athletic performance, and whole-person wellness. They discuss everything from pelvic floor dysfunction and postpartum recovery to inflammation, injury prevention, and why physical therapy should be viewed as proactive healthcare—not just rehab after surgery or injury. Key Take Aways Physical therapy is preventative care, not just rehab. Annual PT check-ins can identify movement dysfunctions before they become injuries. Pelvic floor dysfunction is common—but not normal. Symptoms like urinary leakage, pelvic heaviness, constipation, and postpartum pain are treatable. Women's health challenges are often multifactorial. Stress, inflammation, nutrient depletion, hormones, and caregiving demands all impact healing and performance. Cash-based PT models allow for individualized, holistic care. Longer visits create space for root-cause problem solving and collaboration across healthcare disciplines. Female athletes need specialized movement support. Proper pressure management, biomechanics, and strength coordination can prevent issues like leakage and injury during training. Topics Discussed 00:00 – Welcome + Guest Introductions Melody introduces Becky and Kristen and sets the stage for a conversation on women's health physical therapy. 00:43 – Becky's Journey into Pelvic Health PT From orthopedic sports medicine to specializing in pregnancy, postpartum care, and pelvic floor rehabilitation. 06:39 – Kristen's Athletic Background + Founding PT 212 How her own injury and frustrating rehab experience shaped her patient-centered PT philosophy. 11:00 – Why Traditional PT Models Fall Short Insurance limitations, protocol-driven care, and why both guests built cash-based practices. 16:30 – The Hidden Health Burden Women Carry Stress, caregiving, inflammation, nutrient depletion, and why women often delay their own care. 24:05 – Pelvic Floor Dysfunction Explained Common symptoms, postpartum recovery, menopause-related pelvic changes, and available treatments. 31:48 – What is a Pessary? How pessaries support pelvic organ prolapse and help women return to exercise safely. 35:39 – Menstrual Cups + Pelvic Floor Health Addressing common concerns and proper usage considerations. 37:42 – Female Athletes: Injury Prevention + Performance Optimization Why PT assessments can improve efficiency, strength, and movement quality. 41:00 – Why Leaking During Exercise Isn't “Normal” Pressure management, movement corrections, and simple fixes for common issues. 45:29 – How to Find the Right Physical Therapist What to look for in a PT: individualized care, athletic understanding, and treatment philosophy. 51:28 – Final Thoughts + Resources Why PT belongs in every woman's long-term wellness plan.

Ask about their treatment philosophy and their specific experience treating athletes like you — the biomechanics of each sport differ, so a great runner's PT isn't automatically a great fit for a volleyball player. Read the therapist's bio first, and look for a provider who'll meet you where you're at and get on board with your goals.

Part 3 of the Women's Health SeriesBloating, gas, urgency, abdominal pain, and that relentless “what if something happens?” loop can turn sex from a close connection into stress fast. Digestive symptoms can quietly impact some of the most vulnerable parts of our lives...including intimacy, relationships, and self-esteem. And often, the shame surrounding those experiences feels heavier than the symptoms themselves. If you've ever pulled away from connection because your gut felt unpredictable, this conversation is for you. In this episode, we're opening up an honest and empowering discussion about gut health, confidence, and reclaiming intimacy without fear or embarrassment.We dive into this topic with our expert guest, Dr. Alyse Bedell, GI psychologist and Certified Sex Therapist, covering: • Why digestive functions feel taboo in sexual relationships • How IBS and IBD symptoms can impact desire, relaxation, and satisfaction • Myth-busting the idea that sex must be spontaneous to be pleasurable • Scripts and “reset” strategies for handling symptoms in the moment • Redefining intimacy so closeness does not always imply intercourse • Flexible planning around meals, energy, triggers, and symptom patterns • Partner support that reassures without becoming patronizing • The circular sexual response cycle and starting from sexual neutrality • Rebuilding sexual self-esteem with stigma work and acting with "as if” confidence This episode has been sponsored by Ardelyx. References: Ballou S, McMahon C, Lee HN, et al.

Click here to send me a quick message :) Fascia is an extraordinary substance in our bodies that supports both structural integrity *and* fluidity. And it is a web that weaves throughout our entire form.It has more nerve endings than our skin, responds to our hormones, tenses and relaxes, hydrates and dehydrates and can be a root of chronic pain and/or stuck energy.It lines all of our organs and muscles and bones! And our endopelvic fascia (the fascia in our pelvis) has direct relationships all the way up to the ribcage.Our breathing, belly and feet all have clear connections to what Julie Hammond calls the Pelvic Diaphragm (instead of the pelvic bowl). And even our throat and jaw can have fascial impact on tension or relaxation of the muscles or tissues in our pelvis. I talk about all of this and more (you'll hear my excitement) on this week's episode.Resources:Free: Gardening guide for menstrual healthBook: The Pelvic Diaphragm by Julie HammondEpisode 22: Stinging nettles loveEpisode 77: Myofascial release for pelvic bowl and chest/breasts with Lindsay CourcelleEpisode 160: How to nourish fascia with Lisa MaséIf you loved this episode, share it with a friend, or take a screenshot and share on social media and tag me @herbalwombwisdomAnd if you love this podcast, leave a rating & write a review!

Have you heard the stereotype of women peeing when they sneeze or laugh as they get older? What's up with that? Can it be prevented? What about pelvic pain, constipation, or tampon discomfort? All of these have one thing in common: pelvic floor health. Notice that the commonality is NOT pregnancy or delivery, like is often believed. Women can have pelvic floor issues, like urinary incontinence, when they are young, unmarried, or have never had biological children. The real question is: what can we do to prevent pelvic floor dysfunction like this? Pelvic floor exercises? Breathing techniques? Therapy? To answer that question and more, we've welcomed Dr. Erin Suellentrop, orthopedic and pelvic floor physical therapist to answer your most asked question!NOTE: This episode may not be appropriate for all audiences as it does reference intercourse.GUEST BIO: Dr. Erin Suellentrop is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and the founder of ADAPT Physical Therapy in Wichita, Kansas, where she specializes in orthopedic and pelvic floor physical therapy.

Pelvic floor problems affect a huge number of women, yet many suffer in silence, unsure what's normal and what isn't. In this episode, we're joined by Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist and urogynaecology specialist Breffini Anglim O'Regan to break down everything you need to know about pelvic floor health, from prolapse and urinary incontinence to the real impact of pregnancy, childbirth, and ageing. We explore the full range of treatment options, from physiotherapy and pessaries to surgical interventions, including a clear and balanced look at the mesh surgery controversy, what it is, why it was widely used, what went wrong for some women, and why it is still being used in other countries but not in Ireland. We also unpack why leakage is not something women should just “put up with,” the role of vaginal estrogen and why it is often misunderstood, how to know when to seek help, and what questions to ask before considering surgery, with the aim of giving women clear, evidence-based information so they can make informed decisions about their own bodies without fear, stigma, or misinformation.

This episode is for women interested in strength training for pregnancy, pelvic floor health, preparing for labor naturally, improving hip and pelvic mobility, and understanding female physiology. We talk about the key differences between male and female biology, why so many women experience pelvic health issues, and what it really means to "move well"—especially in the hips and pelvis. Adelaide also shares how a traumatic injury led her into women's health, and how that reshaped her approach to movement and healing. We dive into the role of the nervous system, building true physical capacity, and how to train in a way that supports your body for birth and beyond. In this episode, we cover: The key differences between male and female physiology Adelaide's injury and her path into women's health Why women's bodies are designed for birth—and what that really means Pelvic health and why so many women struggle with it How to improve movement in the hips and pelvis The connection between the nervous system and movement capacity What it means to "move well" and build true strength How to find and expand your physical edge Connect with Adelaide: IG: @faithinthebody website: https://www.faithinthebody.com/ Connect with Emma: IG: @_guidedbylove SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/cw/weavingharmony Pasture & Petal: https://www.pastureandpetal.com/?ref=kmdaxjrp  use code EMMA  HIRO Diapers: https://hirodiapers.com/weavingharmony  use code weavingharmony Four Visions: https://rstr.co/fourvisions/333  use code EMMAFV15 Uplevel your branding with Olivia: https://www.oktdesign.com/     

Rachel discussed a pelvic health device called "The Wand" by Intimate Rose, which she learned about during a Pilates class. She explained how the device works similarly to a foam roller for internal pelvic floor muscles, helping with tension, chronic pelvic pain, and anxiety. Rachel noted that while she has no affiliation with the product, she found it effective and plans to share information about it with others.

In this episode of the PFC Podcast, Dennis is joined by Dr. Brigham Au — 10-year orthopedic trauma surgeon, former Parkland trauma faculty, and fellowship-trained at the Florida Orthopaedic Institute — for a no-fluff masterclass on pelvic fractures. From high-energy MVCs and falls to sneaky low-energy geriatric injuries, Dr. Au breaks down exactly what matters in the prehospital/prolonged field care environment: stability, pain control, binders, and what actually saves lives.Whether you're a combat medic, critical care paramedic, or wilderness provider, this is the episode that turns pelvic fractures from “scary” to “manageable.”TakeawaysPhysical exam beats imaging every time in the field — Gross manipulation is overrated; gentle leg positioning and pain response tell you more than you think.Pelvic binders WORK. Institutional protocols using them early cut mortality in half. Stop quoting tiny European studies — read the full papers.Simple field hack: Pull both ankles together, internally rotate, and secure the legs (sheet, belt, ACE wrap, buddy-tape style). Uses the good leg to splint the bad one and dramatically cuts pain during movement.Don't hesitate — if you even suspect an unstable pelvis (or the patient is hemodynamically unstable), slap the binder on tight over the greater trochanters. Life > skin necrosis in the first 24–48 hours.Geriatric ground-level falls are DEADLY — higher mortality than many gunshots once they decompensate. Treat them like the sickest patient in the room.Read beyond the abstract. Small studies make for great Instagram soundbites but terrible clinical decisions.Improvised binders? Belt around the trochanters, cut pant legs, or a rolled sheet — just get it low and tight. Patient comfort during movement is your best feedback.The cowboy with the 20–30-year-old open-book pelvis whose plates kept breaking because “his pelvis didn't want to close.”Why Dr. Au stopped doing aggressive stress exams after the 8-pound ankle test story.Why binders should be first-line, not optional — and exactly when/how to loosen them in austere environments.Brutal reality check on geriatric pelvic fracture mortality vs. modern gunshot wounds.Chapters00:00 – Welcome & Dr. Brigham Au intro (Parkland + trauma fellowship)01:27 – High-energy vs. low-energy pelvic fractures (what you're actually seeing)02:40 – Open book, closed book, lateral compression, vertical shear — why mechanism still matters04:31 – Field assessment & why physical exam is king06:25 – Yes, patients can still walk with a pelvic fracture (don't get fooled)08:02 – What “gross manipulation” actually means (and how little you need to do)11:51 – Leg-positioning trick that reduces pain and acts like a temporary binder14:31 – The pelvic binder debate: evidence, myths, and why Dr. Au is a huge believer20:08 – Improvised binders, proper placement & tension (even without a commercial device)23:41 – When and how to loosen/remove a binder (especially in prolonged care)25:43 – One thing Dr. Au wants every field provider to do better28:17 – Real risks of binders (and why you still shouldn't hesitate)29:27 – Final thoughts + why reading full studies mattersFor more content, go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.prolongedfieldcare.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Consider supporting us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/ProlongedFieldCareCollective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.lobocoffeeco.com/product-page/prolonged-field-care

Pelvic venous disease is often misattributed, until you recognize the venous “detours” driving symptoms. In this episode of the BackTable Podcast, Dr. Ally Baheti speaks with Dr. Deepak Sudheendra (360 Vascular Institute in Columbus, Ohio) about a symptom-first framework for evaluating and treating pelvic venous disease. --- Get the BackTable app https://www.backtable.com/app --- Timestamps 00:00 - Introduction01:40 - Becoming a Pelvic Vein Specialist04:39 - Sorting Causes of Pelvic Pain06:26 - Symptom Checklist Approach09:45 - Nutcracker Red Flags11:37 - Right Sided Symptoms and Detours15:57 - Conservative Care and Stent Counseling17:27 - Rule Out Superficial Venous Disease21:56 - Procedure Planning and Insurance Hurdles24:04 - IJ Access and Inflow Assessment25:18 - IVUS First Renal and Ovarian Evaluation28:07 - IVUS Iliac Compression Map29:44 - Leg Inflow Venography Setup31:15 - Iliac Stenting From IJ32:24 - Stent Sizing Pitfalls36:31 - Gonadal Vein Embolization42:13 - Internal Iliac Varices Caution43:29 - Post Procedure Meds Follow Up46:49 - Wrap Up --- More about this episode Iliac vein compression can manifest through three collateral pathways, contributing to leg heaviness and groin or hip pain, low back pain via the ascending lumbar system, and pelvic organ symptoms through cross-pelvic internal iliac collaterals. The discussion outlines a practical diagnostic approach grounded in clinical pattern recognition, including the significance of prior DVT as a post-thrombotic etiology, differentiation of flank versus low back pain, and the importance of excluding gynecologic pathology. Emphasis is placed on standing venous reflux ultrasound and pelvic ultrasound, with caution against overreliance on cross-sectional imaging for Nutcracker physiology. Procedural strategy centers on IVUS-guided evaluation, targeted iliac vein stenting (often unilateral) and thoughtful use of gonadal vein embolization, including sequencing considerations and avoidance of common pitfalls. The episode also reviews conservative management, follow-up imaging, and post-procedural antithrombotic and pain management protocols. --- BackTable Vascular & Interventional (VI) is the go-to podcast for interventional radiologists, vascular surgeons, and interventional cardiologists.
