<p>Hi everyone and welcome to this episode of the Celebrate Muliebrity podcast, where I had a great conversation with Dr Tina Mapa, who has built a flourishing career delivering pelvic healthcare, with a focus on dyspareunia, completely virtually!</p><p>We talk about how telehealth is different and perhaps even superior in some regards when it comes to improving access to care and promoting self-efficacy</p><p>We did address how manual therapy and in person assessment skills can be adapted...</p><p>We discussed the importance of promoting holistic health, the evolving understanding of pelvic pain, and the benefits of telehealth for pelvic health, particularly for those who have experienced trauma or pain.</p><p>Dr. Tina discussed her background and current work in telehealth pelvic floor physical therapy, emphasising the importance of empowering patients to take charge of their own health and recovery through education. The conversation also touched on the benefits of telehealth for pelvic health, the challenges faced by women in healthcare, and the potential of a cash-based model for physical therapy. </p><p>I think this was a really thought provoking conversation which may challenge some biases! To find out more about Tina and her work, you can find her on instagram as @dr.tinamapa and @vrdxdr.tina</p><p>Want to learn more about promoting sexual health, treating dyspareunia, understanding the effects of different types of contraception and our evidence based role in promoting fertility, including ART/IVF?

<p>Hello & welcome to this episode all about the intersection of hip health and pelvic health, with one of my favourite researchers/clinicians, Dr Alison Grimaldi</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode we discuss the interconnectedness of the pelvic floor, hip muscles, and nerves in the pelvic region, how the pelvic floor works in conjunction with other muscles, particularly the obturator internus, to support pelvic function. </p><p>We emphasized the importance of considering both pelvic floor and hip issues when treating patients, as weakness in hip muscles can affect pelvic floor function and vice versa. </p><p>The conversation also covers the potential for sciatic nerve irritation in the deep gluteal space, particularly in athletes like cyclists and trail runners, and the importance of screening for pelvic floor issues in patients with hip or buttock pain.</p><p>We shared our mutual disdain for the clamshell exercise (WHY do people recommend it?) and an exploration of Alison’s 2025 open access paper - a masterclass on gluteal tendinopathies </p><p><br></p><p>Want to learn more from Alison?</p><p><br></p><p>Here is the link to the Glasgow workshop: <a href="https://www.hampdensportsclinic.com/events/events-the-hip/">https://www.hampdensportsclinic.com/events/events-the-hip/</a></p><p><br></p><p>and more course info: <a href="https://dralisongrimaldi.com/event/online-hip-workshop-lateral-hip-and-buttock-pain-2025/">https://dralisongrimaldi.com/event/online-hip-workshop-lateral-hip-and-buttock-pain-2025/</a> </p><p><br></p><p>And if you’d like to learn more about the role of hormonal health in just about everything, but especially in a woman’s musculoskeletal health, head to CelebrateMuliebrity.com for info on my online Female Hormonal Health Masterclass & other courses, from Female Pelvic Pain, to Hysterectomy, Breast Cancer, Pelvic Cancer, Bowel Health & Back Pain - let me know if you have any questions via Instagram where I nerd out about women’s health as @michellelyons_muliebrity</p><p><br></p><p>See you next time!

<p>Hello & Welcome to this episode of the podcast, where we're talking about all things prolapse, with advanced practice women's health physio (& pilates teacher!) Leah Bryans</p><ul><li>In today’s conversation we discussed the evolution of our roles as physiotherapists, particularly in pelvic health. Leah shared her journey from not realizing the extent of what physio could do to becoming more confident in managing conditions like prolapse. </li><li>We talked about the importance of continuous learning, collaboration with other professionals, and understanding the individual needs of patients, and of course I had to hop on my soapbox about the shift from being mechanics to educators, focusing on facilitating patient progress rather than fixing issues. </li><li>We’re both keen to emphasise the need to consider patients' overall health, including their bladder and bowel function, fluid intake, and diet. We also highlighted the significance of assessing patients' pelvic floor movement and identifying risk factors for prolapse</li><li>We discussed the potential benefits and challenges of using pessaries for postnatal women, and noted that some women may be hesitant to try pessaries due to psychological barriers, while others may not be seen early enough in primary care or public systems to receive this treatment</li><li>We also discussed the importance of building confidence and gradually increasing strength in patients, particularly those with pelvic health issues. </li><li>It’s important to remember the the need for a low-threat approach to exercise, focusing on breathwork, relaxation, flexibility, and proprioception at first. We also highlighted the benefits of Pilates as a gateway to heavier lifting and osteogenic activities. </li><li>The conversation concluded with the importance of education in helping patients manage their conditions, including the use of tools like the femmeze for splinting during bowel movements.</li></ul><p>Leah teaches a prolapse management course with Suzanne Carney (@anatomy-_physiotherapy) and they have an upcoming event in May - contact them for details!</p><p>And if you’d like to learn more about my online courses, please visit CelebrateMuliebrity.com </p><p>Until next time, Onwards and Upwards!
