Biofeedback is not the best use of your time
We are (or should be) primary care providers
Don't be the evidence police
Voluntary strength testing in your evaluation sends you down the wrong road
If we're not routinely doing rectal, we aren't thoroughly assessing the pelvic floor
You don't need more clinical skills, you need to better utilize the ones you have
The pelvic floor is more like a trampoline than a biceps
You can't always trust research
The isolationist strength approach (Kegels) is outdated
Cash physical therapy is the future of our specialty
Or, as Jesse said in the full 'sode of the podcast on this topic...
"You can't always trust the research that you read". -Nicole Cozean, Pelvic PT Rising Podcast
Essential Pelvic Strengthening: Not Your Mama's Kegels Course

It's helped more than 300 clinicians integrate standing and functional evaluations, get patients off the table and re-think how they strengthen!
"Absolutely changed the way I practice, how I evaluate, and how I THINK about the pelvic floor. Pelvic strengthen in the system and for function!" - Sarah P. (Essential Pelvic Strengthening)
