Starting a mobile practice can be an attractive option.  Many new business owners use this as a side hustle as they continue to work, or build a 'concierge' practice as they grow.

In this 'sode (prompted by a listener question!) we dive into the Pros and Cons of a Mobile practice.

Many of our mentees in the Rising Family have started this way - many have switched over to a brick & mortar practice, while others are thriving in the mobile model.

We'll talk about what you should do as you start, the advantages of a mobile practice and why many practitioners transition away from mobile clients as they grow.

For interstitial cystitis, a common 'missing piece' is neural tension of the sciatic nerve.

It's a testament to how difficult IC is to treat we considered a few other 'missing pieces.'  We thought about highlighting the 'IC Diet', superficial pelvic floor muscles, constipation, urachus, inner thighs, calves or ischiorectal fascia.

But we kept coming back to the sciatic nerve and the major role it plays in urinary urgency, frequency and/ or interstitial cystitis.

In this 'sode we discuss the evaluation and treatment of neural tension and how it can transform how you treat patients with IC and urinary issues. 

If you enjoy, please take a moment to rate and review the podcast - we read each and every one!

In this series, we're taking a single aspect of a condition or symptom we feel is often overlooked, dismissed or 'just checked'.  If you're already doing this consistently, then great!  If you're doing it periodically, it might be something to prioritize higher.  And if you're not doing it at all, it's another tool in your toolbox.

We're taking an honest look at the pros and cons of working in a cash practice.

As most of you know, PelvicSanity is a cash practice and we've been working without interacting with insurance companies for more than 7 years.

But that might not be the right decision for everyone.  So we want to lay out the pros and cons.  Whether you're a 'wannabe' considering your options or an already established business wanting to make sure you got it right, this should help!

Clinical - Cash

Cash practice gets insurance completely out of the picture.  Hour-long (or two-hour) treatment sessions, wellness, working with patients for a longer plan of care - as long as you and the patient believe it's worthwhile, you can do what you clinically believe!

Financial - Cash

In terms of profit margin and the financial metrics, a cash practice wins.  You have control over your profit margin, instead of insurance capping reimbursement.  There are no cash flow issues. 

Marketing & Sales - Insurance

This is always the biggest challenge for cash-based practices.  Being 'in network' literally means you're part of a referral network.  You might still have to do some work, but you should have a much easier time in an insurance practice of getting patients to call and schedule.  Your ability to do this in a cash practice is vital for success.

Ability to Grow - Tie

Both types of practices can grow, and have different issues.  An insurance-based practice often has the patient volume to grow, but with low profit margins it can be difficult to hire and expand while still paying yourself.  A cash practice can expand with good profit margins, but the marketing and sales need to be on point.

Lifestyle - Cash

With a cash practice you can work fewer hours.  You don't have insurance BS.  You don't have a biller.  And you can treat how you want.

When it comes to diastasis recti, a missing piece is often the back.

We're often focused on the front....because, well, that's where the diastasis is!  We'll engage the transversus abdominus and strengthen the core muscles.

Many times we'll focus on the front until and unless things aren't going well, before finally looking for other contributing factors.

But the diastasis is often a result of a problem in the system, and originating in the back.  We can even ask patients to do things (ie: stack the ribcage over the pelvis) they may lack the ability to do!

At the initial evaluation we always want to check the obliques, paraspinal muscles and fascia of the back.  Often we'll focus our initial work here and see what a difference it makes prior to highly focusing on strengthening the abdominal muscles.

In this 'sode we discuss the order of operations, why we always look at the back at the initial evaluation, and this missing piece for treating diastasis recti.

How can we stop driving ourselves crazy by comparing to our competitors?  Worrying about what they are doing?  Feeling like they are 'taking our patients?'

It's not easy.  We're competitive.  We care.  But ultimately we need to cultivate an abundance mindset or drive ourselves crazy with comparison.

Here are five ideas that might help when it comes to cultivating an abundance mindset:

1.  Do the math!  There are so many more people with pelvic health issues than we'll ever be able to see.  Even in a small town, if we get even 1% of those who could use our help in the door, we'll have a waitlist a mile long.
2. Recognize patients are smart and deserve choices.  It's not a bad thing they can decide who they want to see.
3. Being a neurotic mess isn't fun.   That's the other side of the coin, where you're constantly comparing and worried about others.  So for your own sanity, an abundance mindset is crucial.
4. There's a place for competition.  We can use it as inspiration and fuel as we grow and provide better care.  What does it say if you believe you can only be successful if you're the only option in town?
5. This is the future of pelvic health.  We're going to continue to grow as a specialty.  There will be options for patients.  We'll have smaller niches we occupy.  And that can all be good - for us and patients!

Ultimately, we want you feeling confident in your practice and being more authentically you in your business or clinical practice.

One thing we often miss when treating prolapse is a functional/standing assessment.

If an orthopedic patient came in complaining of pain with walking and running, would we do our entire examination with them sitting or laying down?  Absolutely not!

And yet, isn't that exactly what we're doing for our patients with prolapse if we aren't doing a standing assessment?

It's entirely possible a patient with prolapse will never be evaluated - by their OB or their pelvic rehab provider - in the position where they experience their symptoms.

In this 'sode we talk about the importance of a standing assessment, reasons you might be (justifiably!) hesitant about performing one, and how to implement for your patients.

Are you routinely doing standing assessments?  Or is there something holding you back?  Reach out and let us know!

How do we help our patients past their limiting or incorrect beliefs?  This is always a challenging conversation.

Maybe they're drinking a ton of water.  Or been told about the 'IC diet'.  Or believe they have nerve damage.  Or have heard some other fear-based narrative.

This topic comes out of a recent PelvicSanity 'Clinical Collective' training.

The first thing is to assess just how firmly held the belief is.  We often assume it's something they strongly believe, when many times it's just the only thing they've been told.  Or they actually wish it wasn't true!

Ask more questions.  Where did they hear the information?  What do they think about it?  Who told it to them?  Is there anything about it they disagree with?

Then we really have three options:

1)  Squash it.  If it's not a firmly held belief and it's something that could be harmful, we can often squash it right away.

2)  Pick at it.  We can let the patient know there are some holes in their belief, or something more going on, and let them start to see the limitations of their belief.  This is 'planting seeds' for when they are ready.

3)  Ignore it and circle back.  We don't have to challenge every incorrect assumption.  In fact, that's making it all about us instead of the patient.  We can get credibility, get them feeling better, and then circle back if we need to.

One thing we often miss with stress urinary incontinence is a focus on the task and timing of our patient's issues.

Often we jump right to voluntary pelvic floor strength.  After all, that's what we're taught in our introductory pelvic health courses.

But pelvic health strength isn't really correlated with urinary incontinence.

A patient can have a pelvic floor that tests as weak but not have any symptoms.

A patient can have an pelvic floor testing as strong with massive urinary incontinence problems.

Isolated strength alone tells us almost nothing about how the pelvic floor performs in real-world situations.

So what task are they struggling with?  And when does the pelvic floor not meet the demand?

Often this requires standing and dynamic assessment (for more on this, the Not Your Mama's Kegels course is your guide, www.pelvicptrising.com/kegels).
