We’re excited to welcome Paige Genova back for our Part 2 conversation on pain reprocessing therapy, neuroplasticity, and the nervous system’s role in pelvic health!

Paige Genova is a licensed occupational therapist specializing in pelvic floor therapy, all about whole-person wellness in pelvic health. Paige is a fellow mama, clinician, and business owner/founder of Vital Pelvic Health in Ohio.

Paige is also the brilliant mind behind the “Pelvicology” framework, a holistic approach that bridges the gap between neuroplastic retraining and musculoskeletal treatment. 

In this follow-up episode, we dive deeper into how clinicians can integrate both the mind AND body into pelvic floor therapy.

Paige does a beautiful job breaking down the six stages of her signature framework, which includes everything from somatic tracking and guided imagery to bodywork, movement, and fear pattern disruption.

Whether you’re a pelvic health pro or someone navigating chronic symptoms like urgency, vaginismus, or constipation, this episode will leave you feeling validated AND empowered. Healing is absolutely possible, and it starts by treating the nervous system and the body, together!

In today’s episode, we’re covering:

• The science behind pain reprocessing therapy + how somatic tracking plays a central role
• Why true mind-body therapy matters and musculoskeletal treatment still needs a seat at the table
• Common neuroplastic symptoms that show up in pelvic health
• Helping patients feel safe, supported & confident in their healing process
• A breakdown of the 6 core stages in Paige’s “Pelvicology” framework
• The power of paying mindful, curious attention to symptoms instead of resisting or avoiding them
• How the “flavor of fear” impacts the nervous system & influences chronic pain
• Bridging the gaps in traditional pelvic health care with a whole-person approach
