In this episode of 'Pelvic PT's Gone Wild,' hosts Dr. Tara Morrison and Dr. Ryan Simmons discuss the alarming rates of burnout among pelvic floor therapists and why clients often spend years in care without improvement. They spotlight the importance of body autonomy, criticize traditional care methods, and examine how societal stress and trauma impact both clients and providers.
They advocate for a shift towards integrative care that challenges old norms and prioritizes profound healing. The conversation also covers the need for lifestyle medicine, the roles of trauma and functional medicine in treatment, and the importance of building a supportive community among pelvic health providers. Dr. Morrison and Dr. Simmons seek to inspire and motivate listeners to embrace holistic and creative approaches to pelvic health.
