NEW COURSE🥁🥁

“OT’s Role in Pelvic Health Across the Lifespan”

💓This has been a labor of love over the last year! I decided to create a course for anyone looking to venture into the pelvic health world as an OT!

💓This would be a beginner level course, discussing the foundations of our scope and how it aligns with pelvic floor therapy!

💓Over the last 4 years I have received countless inquiries about “How do I become a pelvic floor OT??””How do I know if I’m even interested in it?” So… I thought I’d share all the amazing advice/resources I’ve used over the years!

💓The course discusses interventions, foundational education, and the considerations of treating in a holistic model. (That good ole biopsychosocial approach 😘) I also discuss next steps, which courses you could take to further your education and skill set! Like through the amazing @functionalpelvis and @essentialpelvichealth !

💓See you there💓

✨On a deeper level..✨

I think so many of us pursue a career in healthcare with our simple elevator speech being “ to help people.”

We are so much more than “help” to our patients. We do not have to be everything and everyone to them, but we can be guides, advocates, shoulders to cry on, cheerleaders, pain relievers, educators, spirit supporters.

While we have to also learn to protect our peace, never underestimate the power of your presence and patience 💓

Chatting about pelvic health shouldn’t be scary!♥️

♥️The Hälsa team were vendors at an incredible event over the weekend and one thing really stood out.

♥️ How many folks had heard about pelvic floor therapy, but were so nervous about asking questions. This didn’t surprise either of us, but then magic happened!

♥️ We asked different questions, starting with topics that were less scary, and eventually many women offered us their stories without fear.

♥️ Pelvic floor therapy & symptoms can feel extremely isolating and uncomfortable, but Hälsa your comfort is our number one priority. We are both trauma informed therapists & meet you and your goals where you’re at. 🥰

⭐️Want to start your journey? Link in bio for first appointment or free screens!

⭐️I’d rather talk about your bowel movements vs. what you’re watching on TV💩

⭐️I think about sliding my business card to pregnant folks everywhere😅🍼

⭐️it’s not a normal friend get together without someone bringing up periods or how bad they need dry needling💉🩸

⭐️I go to the gym & totally practice new stretches & exercises for patients 🏋🏼‍♀️

⭐️Also we’re nearly always eldest daughters for some reason?😅Any guesses??🤔💭

✨When patients say, “these are the things I remembered to do!” I listen & take notes📝

✨ i’ll never forget the first patient to say to me “Dr. Bria I’m so sorry I forgot to do my exercises.” she looked so defeated and frustrated with herself..

✨ I asked her instead what went well for you this week? And she replied, “Well I remember to relax my belly in the car and at work and I’ve been working really hard. I’m not clenching my butt in the kitchen.”

✨ I remember looking at her and laughing and saying to her that that was the main objective anyway for this last week and wouldn’t you know her Pelvic Floor that appointment was nowhere near as tight as before.

✨ It’s the little rituals and cues that are patients remember and they are always worth celebrating❤️

Sometimes perseverance leads us somewhere more beautiful than we ever imagined. 🤍✨

Every pelvic floor therapist has a story—a reason we chose this path and the experiences that brought us here. Hälsa Wellness is part of a dream built through persistence, passion, and a whole lot of heart♥️

We can’t wait to share more about Madison’s journey—and my own—soon. 🌿

✨What’s the story behind the muscles?

⭐️At Hälsa, pelvic floor therapy goes beyond what your muscles are telling us. We explore pelvic floor dysfunction from a very holistic lens! We’re going to ask you about your daily habits, routines, rituals that make your life unique🥳

⭐️Pelvic floor therapy should never be treated as a one size fits all kind of treatment. You are a unique individual that experiences life differently than the next person!

We consider all of these to be crucial in treatment⬇️
• mental health considerations
• neurodiversity awareness
• cultural considerations
• sexuality
• religious beliefs
• social context & environment
• motivations & goals specific to you!

⭐️The list goes on🥰 Most important message here is to know that we will meet you where you’re at & create a plan to fit your life for a long term, healthy pelvic floor!

Yup. One beautiful structure generally recognized and it’s a part of our placenta!

✨Shout out to Raissa Nitabuch who discovered the structure now recognized as the Nitabuch layer during her thesis project in 1887!

✨This is a thin, fibrous boundary layer between the uterus and the placenta that helps prevent the placenta from invading too deeply into the uterine wall.

✨There are over 400 structures in the human body named for male scientists or mythological men (think Achilles heel) & yet only one woman, our girl Raissa!

✨Why should you care? ➡️ many of these structures offer 0% insight on what they actually do functionally for the body, especially specific female anatomy (this might become a series yall😂)

✨Stay informed, educated, and empowered always ❤️Your body is your home & you should know what’s happening at home!😘

Happy Virgo season ✨

Thinking about making this a series? Thoughts 😂

✨But honestly why do we all struggle with the same pelvic floor issues? I’ve noticed this over the years with hundreds of patients. Or the fact that so many of my fellow Virgos go into healthcare?🤔💭

✨We do like the illusion of fixing everything I suppose😅🫢
