Have you assessed a client and it looks like everything is relatively normal yet the client is still in pain? Have you considered checking for restrictions in the organs? 

In today’s podcast Lynn talks with physical therapist, Lori Baydush, about her treatment of a client who was experiencing deep pelvic pain.

Lori’s client kept saying that her pelvis was stuck, but when Lori conducted hip and lumbar assessments, the client had almost full range of motion. Lori shares about how she pulled from the education she learned during the Holistic Treatment of the Postpartum Body course, to continue her assessment. It was not until she palpated the cervix that she discovered the driver of the pain. Releasing the left uterosacral ligaments aligned the cervix and the pain disappeared.

When it comes to treating pelvic floor conditions it is important to remember we are working with a system. There are bones, muscles, nerves and organs that can affect the client’s perception of pain. Finding the driver of the pain is the key to successful treatment. 

The Institute for Birth Healing’s Holistic Treatment of the Postpartum Body is kicking off its first ever group cohort for this course on September 30, 2024. This course will help fill the gaps you may have in your own training to get you better results. You will learn many aspects of working with the postpartum body including joint mobilizations, visceral techniques, myofascial release, thoracic and rib mobilizations, pelvic floor muscle assessment and treatment of the organs in just one course. This holistic approach eliminates the soreness often felt after imparting on the body instead of working with the body and respecting the tissues.
