Biohacker rage bait 😬 😆

I kid I kid I kid! But in all seriousness, before you spend a whole paycheck on elderberry syrups and PEMF mats, just establish CONSISTENT hand washing in your home (and avoid touching your eye, nose, and mouth inoculating yourself with bugs).

If you have not mastered handwashing, invest your time there first!

As a disclaimer to my crunchy moms, I’m not saying your kid’s hands can’t get dirty. A diverse microbiome is important for a strong immune system. What I am saying is, in especially public places with nasty handles, wash all those nasty 🦠 off!). How many times do you see people picking their nose in their car and get out of said car and pump gas ⛽️ or how many times do you see/hear people flush the toilet but then skip out on handwashing (some of yall are nasty 🤮).

Anyway, like everything in life, master the basics and save your money 💰

Healing never ends ❤️‍🩹

Endometriosis recovery doesn’t end with surgery.

Recovery happens, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. All of those take time.

If you find yourself in the doctor’s office and their dismissal of your issue causes elevated heart rate and other sympathetic nervous system responses, that a sign that some emotional healing may need to take place 💕 trauma informed counseling is a great place to start.

I wouldn’t trade my journey for anything. My pain, my experience, my suffering, my recovery has taught me a lot about myself, made me an even more excellent practitioner, and has allowed me to go to levels of my faith in God I wouldn’t know were possible.

Today I am able to sit across from a physician and say “thank you for the dialogue, I don’t objectively agree” and move on with my day. It doesn’t mean that it doesn’t sting a little or brings me back to over a decade of hopelessness.

Never stop fighting for yourself. No one will care as much as you do 💪🏼 Don’t assume the victim mentality, assume the warrior mentality 💛

Don’t knock it 🤷🏻‍♀️ read the caption ⬇️

Before yall get weird, the wand in this video has ONLY been used for jaw stuff 🙂‍↕️

Moving on….

Pelvic wands (especially the ones designed by ) are actually perfectly shaped to get to the back of the jaw muscles - when those muscles are tight they can feed into TMJ pain/TMD. If you’ve struggled with jaw pain for any length of time, you’ll know some quick trigger point release can bring the pain volume down quick and a lot 😮‍💨

Mariano Rocabado (one of the TMJ gurus) is actually an advocate for the use of wands in TMJ rehab - fun fact!

So yes, pelvic wands are pelvic wands, and trigger points are trigger points 🤷🏻‍♀️ don’t let stigmas keep you from stepping into innovative hacks 😌

Trigger points therapy is great for TMD, but not a stand alone option. Neck strengthening, myofunctional exercises, and possibly the assistance of an airway centric dentist is the best way to go ✌🏼

Cramps vs labor pains 🤕

As someone with who experienced an , I can confirm that yes, there were elements of my labor experience that felt 100% the same as endometriosis period cramps.

As a pelvic floor physical therapist and childbirth educator, I want to clarify the difference between early active labor and the push-phase. Endo cramps 1000% are nothing like what you experience during transition (the period your body is getting ready to push) and the actual pushing phase itself.

But in the early phase of active when your uterus is getting ready to yeet the baby as if it were yeeting it’s lining, boy does it feel similar 🥲

So yes, both endo cramps and labor are extremely similar, but extremely different in the same thread.

If you’ve found a study with empirical evidence showing a correlation between endometriosis cramp and labor pains, please drop the PMID in the comments. I’m always wanting to learn more and gain more knowledge 🤓 Otherwise, the correlation is all based on surveys (which are valuable, but not the same thing as a scientific article).

Does 🍆 health = ♥️ health?

According to Zhao et al., 2019, erectile dysfunction can be a sign that a heart attack could be impending.

Why is it only (relatively) common knowledge in healthcare and not the general public?

Why does this matter in physical therapy?

Well first off, your PT should be screening you for cardiovascular concerns in general. If you are in PT for your low back, we have to consider that the pelvic floor (yes, men have them too) contributes to spine health and force production.

In pelvic floor PT, we discuss 🍆 function the same way we’d discuss the weather 🤷🏻‍♀️ it’s no big deal, and something that impacts a majority of people.

If we’re working with an ED patient (cause PS, we can help that believe it or not), we are also asking cardiovascular health questions. If their ED issues aren’t textbook weakness or coordination issues, they are being referred to either another medical provider or their cardiologist to get the green flag if they haven’t already.

Anyway, the more you know, the better you can care for yourself and loved ones 💕

Have you ever been told, “just have a glass of wine and try to relax” when you’ve told your doc that it hurts during seggsy time?

Painful in*******se is NEVER normal or something you have to just live with. It’s not “just part of being a woman” 😡 (real comments from real doctors).

You should always start with an evaluation to determine the source of painful in*******se, but often times pelvic wands and dilators (we love the ones from )can be really helpful supplements to your recovery/optimization journey.

At the end of the day, just know there are options (and ones that don’t create a substance abuse or dependency issue 😊)

Cybersecurity 🚨

Okay, as a physical therapist I am always trying to pursue facts, find balance, and uphold the concept of informed consent to the 10th degree.

We think posting emojis over our kiddos faces or school logos etc keep them private…it in fact does not (shout out for that education).

Anyway, if you’re wanting to post stuff, but keep it private, try posting a screenshot of the edited photo instead.

Wellness predators 😡

Endometriosis plagues more than 1 in 10 women and takes an avg of 7-10 years to receive a diagnosis. It is when endometrial-like cells are found outside of the endometrium and creates a whole body systemic neuroimmunological inflammatory condition. No, it’s NOT just a gynecological issue. Painful periods and infertility are just a small part of the story. And no endo isn’t on the rise because of dehydration…ready a freaking book, Garry. It’s “on the rise” because we are finally gaining advocacy and awareness. PS, the concept of retrograde menstruation has been debunked for all intents and purposes …so this back flow nonsense in the video is less than spot on.

There’s a difference between a supplement FIXING endometriosis and a supplement reducing symptoms associated with endometriosis. There is *no* cure for endo and there is no medication or supplement that “fixes” it.

Words mater. and @ garrylineham have had zero response to hundreds of women saying “hey, this isn’t right”.

The silence says it all. They don’t care about us or truth. They care about profit.

We need more male voices in the advocacy space and it ain’t Garry’s 😤
