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.

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.
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. The team is currently seeking feedback from health care providers from these backgrounds about the proposed guidelines including practices and potential barriers and facilitators to implementation of these practices.

My guests for this epsiode are: Dana Soloman, Lisa Loveless, Carolinne Bradley and Jessica Ekberg. This is part of a 3 part series. Here's a link to the other episodes:
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.
Where to find her on social media: Facebook IG Email: lisa@nextleveltherapy.net for 1:1 online mentoring.
She is the cofounder of Next Level Therapy and, outside of our Medicare caseload, she is a pri

SHOW NOTES I was joined by Emily Lieberman for this episode. We talked about:
1) What advice would you have for other students who have identified this interest and may be considering pursuing a pelvic health position directly after graduation?
Emily talks about being a generalist vs specialist and that there was not not one right path to get there. We are not in an escape room - we are growing a garden.
2) I love that you shared that you went straight into Pelvic Health --did this require you to step outside your comfort zone? If so, how?
3) Based on your experience, do you have any "lessons learned" that you would want to share with other OTs who are preparing to apply for positions in pelvic health for the first time, and perhaps any tips specifically for new grads?
A little more about Emily Lieberman:
Emily is a native Michigander, mom of two, and lover of chocolate chip cookies. Her favorite meal is brunch, her favorite word is “whimsical” and her favorite leisure occupations are thrift shopping and losing track of time in nature. Emily came to OT as a second career and has a previous master’s degree in Educational Leadership; her prior work focused on adult education, coaching and organizational development in community and higher education settings. She became interested in pelvic health through her own experiences as a client, and she is particularly motivated to extend trauma-informed care to those who have had difficult experiences in healthcare as well as folks who are trans and nonbinary. Emily graduated in August 2023 and accepted a full-time position in outpatient pelvic health as her first role as a practicing OT.

OT Pioneers: Intro to Pelvic Floor Therapy for Occupational Therapists
OT Elevate: The Biopsychosocial Approach to Colorectal Condition
The intensity of pain matches the severity of the injury.
Nerves in the periphery of your body (the limbs) can adapt by becoming more excitable.
Chronic pain means the injury has not healed properly.
The body tells the brain when it is in pain.
The pain you feel is the same pain as your grandparents felt.
In chronic pain, the brain becomes more sensitive to danger messages from your muscles and joints.
The immune system has nothing to do with a pain experience.
The brain decides when you will experience pain.
Stress can make your nerves fire.
Your internal pain control system is stronger than any drug taken.
Chronic pain is more common in wealthier countries of the world.

"If the Pelvic Floor Is Not Healthy, There Is No Occupation We Can Perform" with Alyson Stover, AOTA President
In this episode, AOTA President Alyson Stover and I talk about:
Her 6 priorities as President of the AOTA.
Why does she think that OTP's are well suited for pelvic health
How does pelvic health remind her of other emerging practice areas and what has worked to gain traction for those areas?
How is the AOTA working towards expanding occupational therapy's role in pelvic health within the broader healthcare system?
How does she navigate the balance between business and healthcare aspects in occupational therapy?
She shares her process in making difficult decisions and share some lessons learned since becoming president.
She shares a book that has deeply influenced your philosophy towards occupational therapy
What would she tell the OTP listening to this episode who is struggling with feeling misunderstood or burnt out in their field?
A little bit more about Alyson Stover: A childhood family trauma introduced Alyson Stover, MOT, JD, OTR/L, BCP to the power of occupational therapy. A subsequent lifetime of study and practice convinced her that patient advocacy was every bit as essential as her technical practice of occupational therapy.
That would be a pretty full slate for most OTs, but it doesn't begin to describe all of Stover's accomplishments. Stover founded and owns Capable Kids, a private outpatient pediatric practice north of Pittsburgh that provides physical and speech and language therapy services in addition to occupational therapy. She's also an associate professor in the Department of Occupational Therapy at the University of Pittsburgh School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences. In July 2021, she will begin a four-year term as president-elect/president of the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA), representing over 100,000 OT practitioners. Stover is the first Pitt faculty member to hold this national leadership position.
Stover earned a bachelor's degree in rehabilitation science and her master's degree (MOT) from Pitt. Like all licensed OTs, she passed the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT) certification exam and met other Pennsylvania commonwealth licensure
