Pelvic pain isn’t just pain.

It can change how someone feels in their own body…
how safe they feel in intimacy…
how they move through daily routines most people never think twice about.

Because the pelvis holds more than muscles and organs.
It holds identity. Privacy. Vulnerability. Trust.

So when someone says they’re hurting here—
they’re not just describing a symptom.

They’re describing something that’s touching every part of their life.

And no… that meaning isn’t “in their head.”

It’s in the way they’ve had to adapt, cope, withdraw, push through, and survive—often silently.

This is why pelvic health care has to be different.
Because we’re not just treating pain.
We’re holding space for the life around it.

What happens when you leave OT… and eventually find your way back? 💜

In this episode of the OTs for Pelvic Health Podcast, Lindsey sits down with Brianna to talk about her journey from leaving OT after a challenging experience during COVID to finding her way back through pelvic health.

Brianna shares:
✨ Why she stepped away from OT—and what ultimately brought her back
✨ Her experience taking a pelvic health course and discovering what she felt was missing
✨ How mentorship and a supportive work environment helped rebuild her confidence
✨ What she’s learned from working alongside pelvic floor PTs
✨ How she stopped trying to “practice like a PT” and started owning what makes OT unique
✨ Why the OT Practice Framework became her “North Star” when she felt uncertain
✨ Her advice for OTs who are the only OT in their clinic
✨ And what’s next as she continues building her career in pelvic health

One of the biggest takeaways?

You don’t have to practice like a PT to belong in pelvic health. You can bring your OT lens, your unique perspective, and your own strengths to the field.

Brianna’s reminder to other OTs is simple but powerful: be confident in being unique. 💜

And as she says, “This is only the beginning.”

✨ The Story Beneath the Symptom ✨

What if the body isn’t malfunctioning… but communicating?

So often, pelvic symptoms like pain, urgency, or tension are not the problem — they’re pointing to something deeper. When we shift from “How do I fix this?” to “What’s this protecting?” everything changes.

Trauma-informed pelvic health starts with curiosity, compassion, and honoring the client as the expert of their own body.

Let’s listen before we treat. 💛

You're in a SNF. Or acute care. Or home health.

And you keep hearing about pelvic health and assuming it's for somebody else....somebody in outpatient, somebody who took the courses, somebody who specializes.

It's not.

Toileting is an ADL. It's already in your scope, in whatever building you're standing in.

My free AOTA-approved CEU course covers 9 settings where pelvic health fits, and what you can actually start doing tomorrow.

Pelvic health isn’t a niche—it’s real life.
And OTs? This space needs us.

Peeing, pooping, intimacy—these are core ADLs, and they deserve skilled, compassionate care. You don’t need permission to step into pelvic health. You already belong here.

Your OT lens is powerful. Your work matters. And there are clients out there waiting for exactly what you bring.

When the noise gets loud or doubt creeps in, come back to your why. This is your calling. Keep going.

Pelvic health is bigger than one setting. 🌿

My first free AOTA-approved CEU on OTs Role in pelvic health was watched by 2,427 OT practitioners. That's 2,427 more OTPs who know how integral we are in this space, whether they go on to specialize or simply know they can refer out to us.

This time, I want OTs to know that you don't have to specialize or work in outpatient to start incorporating pelvic health into WHATEVER setting you're in RIGHT NOW.

🏃Coming soon: The OT's Guide to Pelvic Health Practice Settings, a free AOTA-approved CEU course!!!

We'll walk through 9 settings where OTs are making an impact in pelvic health: private practice, outpatient clinics, home health, SNF/LTC, hospital/acute care, pediatrics, perinatal and L&D/OB, tactical, veteran and first responder health, and telehealth.

For every setting, we'll answer the same five questions:

Who will you see?
What will you treat?
What does a day actually look like?
What are the pros and considerations?
And what's the OT edge?

If you've ever wondered where pelvic health could fit into your career, this one's for you. 💛

PT clinic owners… have you been thinking about adding an OT to your pelvic health team, but aren’t quite sure where to start?

You might be wondering:

👉 What qualifications should I look for?
👉 What pelvic health training should an OT have?
👉 How does billing and reimbursement work?
👉 What about licensing and referrals?
👉 And how can PTs and OTs work together effectively?

We get it, there’s a lot to consider!

That’s why we created "The PT’s Guide to Hiring an OT in Pelvic Health."💜

And this isn’t just another guide—it was "peer-reviewed by pelvic health PTs" who helped strengthen the content and make it more relevant for PT clinic owners. 🙌

Because bringing an OT onto your team can be a powerful way to expand your practice and provide more comprehensive, collaborative pelvic health care. 🤝

"Why does OT do pelvic health? Isn't that PT's job?"
I get this a lot. So here's my answer:

PT often looks at how the body moves. We often look at how the life works.

The morning routine that now takes 90 minutes. The job she's about to lose because of bathroom breaks. The intimacy he's grieving. The identity that shifted when the body did.

We're not competing. We're covering different ground.

And the people we serve need all of it.✨✨

💭 Ever learned pain science and thought, “This is exactly what my client needs to hear”… but then froze when it came time to actually talk about it in session?

You’re not alone.

In this episode

👉 You don’t have to "lecture" your clients about pain science.
👉 You don’t have to have every neuroscience answer.
👉 You can simply get curious and help your client discover their own “Pain Recipe.”

Think of pain like a recipe. 🍪

The ingredients can include:
🧠 Thoughts, emotions, and attention
🫀 Biological factors like sleep, hormones, hydration, and the nervous system
🤝 Relationships, environment, and feelings of safety

The goal isn’t to tell your client what their pain means. It’s to help them become the detective of their own body—recognizing patterns, identifying what influences their symptoms, and discovering strategies that give them more agency.

🎧 In this episode, Lindsey walks through the Pain Recipe with a mock client and shows exactly how this conversation can look in practice.

Listen to the episode and start making pain science feel more practical, approachable, and client-centered. 💛
