Join host Laura Nozicka on the 'Desperate for a Diagnosis' podcast as she talks with Alina Gur, an experienced pelvic floor physical therapist, in honor of Pelvic Health Awareness Month. They discuss the importance of pelvic floor health and break down misconceptions about pelvic floor therapy.

Medical gaslighting or feeling dismissed can also be a common experience for women with chronic pelvic pain, especially when standard imaging and lab work fail to reveal a clear cause, leaving physicians with limited tools like medications or hormones. The truth is, pelvic pain is often multifactorial—arising from complex, overlapping issues across the gastrointestinal, urinary, gynecological, musculoskeletal, neurological, hormonal, and even psychosocial systems—making it hard to isolate a single diagnosis. Because our fragmented medical system rarely considers how these systems interact, patients are often dismissed or bounced between specialists without ever receiving comprehensive care.

Alina shares her extensive experience, treatment modalities, and the benefitsof telehealth services. The conversation aims to demystify pelvic floor therapy and encourage patients to seek care early.
