When your back pain isn't coming from your back (and other head-scratching pelvic floor updates)
|
Hi hello Reader, how is October almost gone?!? Wild times. About a month ago I had the privilege of attending a conference designed for and planned by pelvic health therapists. (It's called PelviCon! Get it!?) I've been to all but one of the 5 consecutive years of this conference. As a therapist who works alone - both in person in my clinic and while seeing my virtual clients - not much recharges my batteries more than getting to participate in a conference filled with people just as passionate about these niches as I am. What a gift to be able to nerd out with fellow providers, meet up with friends & colleagues from around the world (including my friend Julienne from Guam!! What a journey to get to Atlanta from there!), and learn the research updates and best practices for treating pelvises belonging to people of all walks of life... A (very brief) overview for you of the main topics - Dr Rachel Rubin: Could one small prescription help protect women from serious infections? Dr. Rubin shares a huge new study showing vaginal estrogen may cut the risk of sepsis, hospital stays, and death in half. Many doctors still don’t offer it, so read more about it and save or print the studies I list in the blog! Michelle Lyons: Pelvic rehab and cancer care Low back pain and the pelvic floor Taryn Hallam: Birth injury and early postpartum Paul Hodges: The male pelvic floor Gráinne Donnelly: Compression for the pelvic floor Diastasis recti Amy Stein: Endometriosis Katherine Sylvester: Maternal health I took several hours to process everything I learned, distill it down into what you need to know, and painstakingly gathered all the research articles, because I know my audience -- and y'all love the science! (Just like me!) If you're interested in learning more about any or all of the above topics, click or tap below to read the whole blog.
If any of the above feels pertinent to where you are right now, remember you can reply to the email with questions or book a virtual consult with me. And remember, in a world where we can't always trust what our algorithms send us or where our information comes from, there are still many of us who aim to give you the evidence-based information you need to make the best health choices for yourself and your loved ones. Thanks as always for being here and reading my musings. Oh, and stay tuned for my upcoming blog series on sexual health amidst adversity, including chronic pain, pelvic floor dysfunction, post-surgery and more! Always in your corner! Sending happy spine and pelvis vibes, Dr. Laura Glazebrook Doctor of Physical Therapy |

Hey there, Reader... been a while since I've written ya. Not on purpose by any means, believe me. I really do hope you're doing well. To be honest with you, this year has been difficult for me, in many ways. Between full-time patient care out of two locations, trying to be a present parent for two school-aged kids with all their activities, and managing my chronic conditions I've found myself wholly unable to do so many of the things I aspire to do for you and anyone who trusts me to provide...
