Hypnosis is clinically proven to reduce the risk of post partum depression and anxiety.

Have you ever had pain in your pelvic or genital areas? Did you know that treatment is possible through a pelvic health physical therapist?

We discussed this topic and more for this week’s episode of the Weekend Wellness Hour Show with Amy Vander Linden.  Amy owns Moment of Truth Physical Therapy and has been a physical therapist for over 20 years with a specialization in pelvic floor health.  

We discussed what is meant by “pelvic floor” and the most common conditions she sees for men and women. She explained that treatment can involve both internal and external work in the pelvic area depending on the patient’s comfort.   

Amy went through some of the changes that happen when women become pregnant and deliver a baby. She notes she often works with women to undo excessive practice of Kegel exercises.  She notes women are often taught to tighten up all the muscles in their pelvic area which leads to some of the problems they are experiencing.  

She also went through some of the types of prolapse that can afflict women and why her treatment can help them avoid surgery.  We also dove into incontinence and the importance of educating women to not just live with the condition but to seek help and learn how to sense their bodies differently.   

Amy stressed the importance of men receiving help for their pelvic health and how the pelvic floor muscles differ in the number of layers compared to women. She explained that both men and women need her help for painful sexual intercourse.   

Amy was a wealth of knowledge in this area and has her own podcast called Bellies, Babies, and Birth. She also trains other therapists who want to specialize in this area.   

Please join us to learn more about the treatment of pregnancy, incontinence, prolapse and painful intercourse.
