Ep 67: Creative Care for Pelvic Pain w/ The Pelvic Whisperer (Therawand and Electrical Stimulation)

Listen Later

May is Pelvic Pain Awareness month, and I'm continuing our pain series with Elizabath Makous, AKA "The Pelvic Whisperer." Even if you don't have pain, if you appreciate creativity, bio-individuality, and getting to the ROOT of an issue, then you're going to love this interview. Elizabeth shares:

  • How to find a great physical therapist 
  • The importance of differential diagnosis (in PT) and of creating individualized treatment plans
  • How Elizabeth helped design and refine Therawand tools for pelvic pain relief at-home
  • The importance of getting to know your body and how to listen to your tissues
  • Some very intimate tips about how to use tools (such as Therawand) and how to reduce fear around self-treatments and intercourse
  • Elizabeth's electrical stimulation protocol: how it's unique, and when your therapist can begin using it with you
  • The importance of patience in your healing journey (as Elizabeth states, "if you're not better in 5 visits, it doesn't mean you've failed therapy. It takes a while for a patient to get a whole program that will work for them.")
  • The importance of using support systems such as a great physical therapist AND home treatment options (like Therawand, FemFusion programs, etc) so that you can go home and not feel helpless
  • Her overarching message of hope: don't give up!!!
