• Integrating Pelvic Health in Athletics: Episode 91 with Dr Julie Wiebe

  Hello and Welcome to this week's episode with the inimitable Julie Wiebe!Julie has been in this space for a long time and has done so much to advance the importance of looking at pelvic health from a systems approach. In this conversation:Julie shared her journey from sports medicine to pelvic floor therapy, emphasizing her mission to integrate pelvic health into broader fitness and athletic contexts. She highlighted the importance of breath strategies and coordination in movement, and discussed her academic work to improve clinical understanding and research quality in pelvic health. Julie recently attended the Female Athlete Conference in Boston, where she noted an explosion of interest and research in the field, particularly in perinatal care and female athlete health. She also discussed the need for better screening methods for conditions like RED-S (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport), as traditional menstrual cycle screening may not be reliable.We also talked about the importance of early detection and prevention of pelvic health issues in athletes, emphasizing the need to move beyond the current screening and referral paradigm. We agreed on the necessity of educating coaches, athletes, and medical teams at various levels to normalize conversations around pelvic health at every age and stage, as well as the need for a more nuanced, multidisciplinary approach to treating pelvic health issues, incorporating factors like biomechanics, hormones, and individualized treatment plans... and much much more!Julie is on instagram as @juliewiebept and you can find all of her course info at juliewiebept.com.Want to take a deeper dive and become a Menstrual Detective?

• Vulvodynia Updates: Episode 87 with Michelle Lyons

  Hello & Welcome to this episode - it's just me this week, taking a look at what's new in the understanding, assessment & effective treatment of vulvodyniaAll this week, I’ve been recording and uploading lectures and handouts and resources to the brand new vulvodynia module of my online Female Pelvic Pain Rehab course - and I wanted to share some of the highlights here in the podcastThe past 12 months have produced not only interest but clinically relevant research - it’s a great time to be working in pelvic pain rehab and one of my favourite things to do is to nerd out in the literature and see what’s clinically relevant There’s been a nice mix, from case reports to systematic reviews with meta analyses - and I love to see a growing awareness of the importance of a multimodal (and always non-nociceptive!) approach, whether considering trauma informed assessment interviewing skills to what we need to add to the pelvic rehab treatment toolbox to a library of handouts we can give to our patientsVulvodynia can be a scary diagnosis for both clinician and patient, so I want to take the fear factor away and create a paradigm or flowchart for clinical reasoning, from ruling out differential diagnoses to looking at what the evidence supports for treatment options (spoiler: it’s more than just using/ progression through a dilator set!)If you’re already enrolled in the online Female Pelvic Pain course, you don’t need to do anything - everything is uploaded in the portal….and if you haven’t signed up yet…come and join us! Apart from vulvodynia, you can take a deep dive into endometriosis, IC/Bladder Pain Syndrome, Pelvic Neuralgias, Female Sexual Pain and more! All through a biopsychosocial, pelvic rehab meets lifestyle, evidence based approach! All the details at CelebrateMuliebrity.com 🥳💗Until next time, Onwards & Upwards! Mx#celebratemuliebrity
