Today’s episode for is for all you pelvic pain nerds out there. I bring you a brilliant discussion I had with pelvic floor physio, Katie Kelly, on the concepts of graded motor imagery for pelvic pain.

She graduated from the MSc PT program at Dalhousie University in 2010 and has been working with pelvic floor patients for over a decade.
