About the Guests

Are you a patient who has received pelvic health care and is interested in contributing to the development of trauma informed treatment guidelines?

Researchers at the University of Calgary (led by Dr. Lauren Walker, RPsych), have been developing trauma informed care guidelines for pelvic health care with a group of multi-disciplinary health care professionals and patients who have experienced trauma histories and accessed pelvic health care. We are now seeking feedback on a proposed draft of the guidelines. The guidelines are meant to inform providers from a variety of backgrounds including gynecology, urology, oncology, family medicine, sexual health, pelvic floor physio and midwifery. 

We are currently seeking feedback on these guidelines from patients who have received pelvic health care in the past 5 years, who also have a history of experiencing medical or sexual trauma. The survey should take about 15-20 minutes and is best completed on a computer. The survey is approved by the Conjoint Health Research Ethics Board. Thank you for considering participating.

The proposed guidelines have been contributed to by a multi-disciplinary team of 20 providers representing gynecology, urology, oncology, family medicine, sexual health, pelvic floor physio and midwifery.

Bios of my Guests
Jessica Ekberg of the The Pelvic Connection
IG @jessekbergpelvicfloor
Facebook: The Pelvic Connection 

She has been an OT for 23 years, and have worked in almost every setting all over the country. She discovered Pelvic floor therapy through her own issues specifically after her daughter was born trying to get back to running and started getting plantar fasciitis, knee and low back pain. Ironically enough,  she has been peeing her pants since She was in her20’s.  She is now a proud former pants pee’er! However once she started my deep dive, she  fell in love with PFT, it made changes in me that she had not expected and the best part is that it is a whole body approach. She admits the field can be difficult to feel confident in a times but it’s just such a perfect fit for OT. She now has my own business which allows her to take a little more time to evaluate patients. She constantly learning and adapting her evaluations/sessions to meet the needs of her clients.
