Now OPEN ACCESS! Thrilled to share this case report published in 2021, is no longer behind a paywall! Thanks to the It outlines the journey of a professional Iron-Distance triathlete. She initially experienced traditional, siloed care from 1 Sports PT and 5 Pelvic PTs. Symptoms were unresolved and escalated to inability to walk or roll over in bed without severe hip and pelvic pain. She was repeatedly told by her providers that she’d no longer be able to run or compete 👎. Heads-up, the story has a really happy ending! If you’re interested in learning to develop a blended dual sports medicine and pelvic health skill set - this case report offers some fuel for new thought processes and strategies. It includes details on the comprehensive biopsychosocial intervention pathway, differential diagnoses based on objective data interpretation, and gradual progression based on response to care.

I also discussed the case recently on the Celebrate Muliebrity Podcast with

I’m rolling out a brand new course in 2026: High Performance Pelvic Health: From Screening to Sport! Designed to equip both sports medicine and pelvic health providers with a dual skill set to support female athlete return to fitness and sport keeping pelvic, pregnancy, and postpartum health in mind.

There’s only one domestic and one international opportunity this year (Course Links in Bio):

September 12-13 Williamsville, NY

October 3-4 Cork, Ireland

Sports and ortho providers aren’t offered training to include pelvic health, pregnancy, or postpartum variables in their differentials or return to play programming. Instead they are only empowered to screen and refer. Similarly, pelvic health providers have limited exposure to strategies to progress fit and athletic folks back to fitness, training, or sport. The result is a siloed, less effective model of care: pelvic, pregnancy, and postpartum health needs are untreated, screened and referred (often in pelvic practitioner deserts), or isolated from movement and training programs. Fit and athletic folks are left without resolution, support, or guidance back to play or optimal performance.

Time to evolve our practice patterns.

This course provides a practical, coachable framework for pelvic health. Participants will gain a structured thought process to interpret biopsychosocial histories, pelvic health screens, in-sport symptom behavior, and movement analysis to build well-reasoned programs for recreational to elite athletes across the lifespan. (NO Internal Skills needed). We will draw from familiar movement and conditioning principles such as graded exposure, progressive overload, impact and pressure management, and exercise scaling, to develop individualized, sport-specific progressions grounded in the whole-athlete presentation.

Hope to see you IRL in 2026!

Studies have shown that gross motor differences underlie bowel and bladder needs in children- yet current practice patterns are still primarily focused on a pelvic floor centered model ( which requires fine motor control and coordinated sensory awareness). A new paradigm is needed for pelvic health needs that provides a whole child approach that honors maturing motor and sensory systems and differently wired systems. Join Shelley Mannell ( ) and I on March 7 (Online) and April 25 (In-person in Guelph, Ontario hosted by ) to understand a systems-based, child centered approach to pediatric pelvic health.

Swipe for more info via QR code or course link in bio that provides links to contact host. Or reach out to the organizer directly either by email- donna@kidscanshine.com or by phone at 519-820-4113.

Saturday, March 7* (Day One) is virtual with unlimited seats (and is a requirement for Day Two)

Saturday, April 25 (Day Two) In-person is limited to 40 folks.

This course was intentionally designed to build bridges—supporting paediatric clinicians seeking deeper insight into pelvic health, and pelvic health clinicians looking to expand their understanding of paediatric populations to improve care for both Neurotypical and Neurodiverse populations. Join us!

2025 was a (really hard, but really good) rebuilding and refining year- same mission, but intentional about finding new ways to pursue it. By far the most valuable thing I did this year was cultivate new ideas, new directions, and new learning by engaging in interdisciplinary communities and environments. So fun to learn thru other lenses, to consider other models of care and reasoning, and to expand my thought processes via collaborative conversations across silos. So my 2025 wrapped is a shout out to the incredible pros, communities, groups, and environments that helped shape my year (swipe for pics from each-in order)!

I wish I had a magic formula or timeline to determine which exercises will work for you, but there isn’t one. Any exercise can be a bu**er to a prolapse for some and the same exercise can be supportive for others. Some may irritate someone who is early postpartum, but not someone who is getting back to exercise a year or two into the postpartum period.

Better questions are:
* Does this exercise support you right now, at this stage in your recovery?
* Can we modify the exercise to make it supportive and less symptomatic?
* Or do we just need to wait and try again in a week or two or more?

So rather than have a naughty or nice list of exercises (unsafe or safe for prolapse), let’s generate some ideas to help you understand your symptoms as a guide. They can help you determine how to modify activities for you, individually- based on your tissues, your delivery, your recovery timeline, the type of activities you are pursuing, and what modifications are available to you for the exercises you are interested in.

Some Ideas for Exercise Modification:

1. How much? How often?-You and your tissues may need more recovery as you heal and restore tissue tolerance. Consider changing the amount- less sets, reps, or sessions per week to create more opportunities for the magic of rest to repair and rebuild tissues.

2. How fast? -Speed is often a symptom trigger, and speaks to a lack of coordination of both the neurology and biology of pelvic organ support. Slow down to rebuild neuromuscular patterns to set you up for success.

3. How about try something new? Consider if you are moving only in one plane (everything is flexion and extension-crunches, bicep curls, squats), running and walking are very repetitive (same pattern of movement over and over). Finding variability can reduce the same types of forces repetitively on your pelvic organ support system.

Providing an education, movement, and fitness-based approach to keep you moving while you heal. (Available to California residents only. Not in CA? Folks often travel in!)

Performance Health Consults-Individualized guidance to help you stay active, build strength, and achieve your goals, no matter what you’re tackling: postpartum return to sport, refining your running or lifting form, or keeping fitness on track through pregnancy. Performance Health Consults focus on promotion of fitness/wellness and optimization of athleticism. (Available globally to individuals, or in conjunction with local professional support).

While most elite athletes won’t stop training or performing due to urine leaks, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t bother them. Research has shown that up to 71% of elite athletes reported that urinary incontinence impacted their performance. Cited concerns included:

•Frustration, annoyance, worry
•Loss of concentration
•Embarrassment
•Fear of recurrence
•Afraid of visible leakage or odor
•Change movement to avoid symptoms
•Mistakes in performance

Addressing pelvic health concerns can relieve the added mental load of worry that can show up on the field as lack of concentration or movement avoidance and optimize performance. This is especially true at high levels of athleticism where medals are won and lost by fractions of a second. Recently, I was hosted by the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee Women’s Health Task Force to have a conversation with the olympic athletes about high performance pelvic health strategies. Recognizing that Kegels were not developed with high intensity and high impact demands in mind, instead we need to translate the strength of the pelvic floor into sport specific, demand specific training programs. Strength needs purpose for it to automatically show up during sport.

Thanks to the USPOC Women’s Health Task Force for the invite!
