Hills Dr. Walton will die on:
🌸Birth control prescriptions for heavy painful periods should always come with a Pelvic PT referral.
- PFPT helps address symptoms like muscle tightness and restrictions in the pelvic floor/abdomen/back, teaching self-management techniques throughout the cycle, and incorporate nutrition and exercise for further relief
🌸Hormones matter and impact every single body system.
- Women’s hormones fluctuate daily but change significantly during pregnancy and perimenopause/menopause. These changes manifest physically and affect our overall health.
- PS: vaginal estrogen cream should be standard during perimenopause to improve skin quality and reduce risk of UTIs
🌸Postpartum Physical Therapy should be standard of care.
-You created life and carried it for months! Now, you’re expected to recover while taking care of a new human being. Then, you have ONE follow-up appointment and are told “You’re cleared.” Mothers deserve better attention, direction, and assistance to be proactive in recovery.
🌸Your body is all connected-- from your foot, pelvis, and back to your breathing, stress, and sleep patterns.
- You deserve a provider who looks at the whole picture, acknowledges your symptoms can be connected, and treats root causes.
- Not all pelvic floor PTs are created equal ... and without advanced training, the bigger picture can be missed
🌸Kegels are circa late 1940s
- A one size fits all approach is outdated. Your care should be individualized and include hands on techniques, exercises, and education!
- PFM length, strength, and coordination must work together in ALL positions. Tight DOES NOT equal strong
