🌟 BIG NEWS in Pelvic Health OT! 🌟

Every powerful change begins with the courage to challenge the status quo — we’re proud to share that the New York State Occupational Therapy Association (NYSOTA) has officially approved the Position Statement on Pelvic Health Occupational Therapy!

Over a year ago, this vision started as a proposal — a call to recognize and elevate the vital role of OTPs in pelvic health. Since then, it has grown into a collaborative effort, fueled by passion, clinical expertise, and relentless advocacy.

This milestone was made possible by an extraordinary team of NY pelvic health OT leaders:

👥 NY PH Team:
Nicole Muriel, Marlene Handler, Carissa Elizabeth O'Rourke, Nicole Nagib, Jacklyn Iannitti, Samantha Walker

🧠 Consultants & Expert Support:
Carlin Reaume, Richard Sabel

💼 **NYSOTA Leadership & Board Support:**
Michael Roff, Jeff Tomlinson, and Beth Chiarello

We are deeply grateful for every voice, every edit, every conversation, and every moment of persistence that brought this statement to life. 💬✊

This is a historic step forward for occupational therapy in New York — and a powerful example of what happens when we come together to advocate for what matters.

📣 Want to get involved?
Join the NYSOTA Pelvic Health Community of Practice and the AOTA Pelvic Health CoP to stay connected, get support, and learn how *you* can initiate or support pelvic health advocacy in your own state.

Buckle up, we have more to accomplish. Let’s keep the momentum going. 💪

This is your final reminder — registration for PR-MATT lab closes on October 24th!

The in-person lab weekend is happening in Boston, November 1–2, and if you’ve been feeling that inner nudge to go deeper in your pelvic health work — this is your sign.

If you're an Occupational Therapist, Physical Therapist, or student drawn to pelvic health, this course was created for you.

👉 Your clients deserve the most informed, effective care you can give.

👉 And you deserve the tools, knowledge, and confidence to grow into the provider you're meant to be.

PR-MATT isn’t just another course. It’s a transformative experience that will:
✅ Deepen your hands-on pelvic health skills
✅ Strengthen your clinical confidence
✅ Connect you with a community of purpose-driven providers
✅ Help you step into alignment with your higher purpose

Even if you’ve taken other pelvic health courses, PR-MATT offers something different — a chance to expand your approach and reconnect with why you do this work.

🎓 Spots are limited, and you’ll need time to complete the pre-req online modules before the in-person lab weekend.

If you're feeling the pull — trust it.

This is your moment. Your clients — and your future self — will thank you.

📣 Check out this Slate article where experts break down just how ESSENTIAL pelvic health is — and how financial barriers have kept too many people from getting the care they need.

One voice we’re especially proud to see featured? Marlene Handler — a PR‑MATT graduate, PR‑MATT NYC in-person lab instructor, and powerhouse clinician who built a thriving private practice in Brooklyn, NY. 💪

I'm so proud of Marlene for using her voice and expertise to drive real change. It’s a powerful reminder that progress starts with dedicated, passionate professionals. Let’s celebrate the clinicians who not only heal bodies but also break down access barriers." ✨
