We are bringing to you on The Hormone Genius Podcast an occupational therapist who is an expert in Pelvic Floor Therapy.

Lisa Whisenant believes that anyone can benefit from pelvic floor therapy. That Pelvic floor therapy is NOT about kegels and only internal work, and there is a big difference between what is “common” versus what is “normal” when it comes to women’s health. She has her own personal journey that has made her passionate about helping women restore health, find answers to pelvic pain, and healing from conditions like endometriosis.

"I have endometriosis and adenomyosis, which has fueled my need to advocate for women with chronic pain conditions. I’m also a mother and see how neglected this population is when it comes to healthcare in our country. Too many of my patients have been dismissed by other providers, so my goal is for them to feel heard, supported, and educated at each one of our visits."

Lisa Whisenant received her Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology, with a Minor in Psychology from Texas A&M University and continued her education to achieve a Master of Science in Occupational Therapy from the University of Texas Medical Branch. She is passionate about treating people with chronic pelvic pain disorders.

She has completed post-professional training in pelvic floor therapy, focusing on pregnancy, postpartum, and chronic pelvic pain. She holds a certificate in Maternal Mental Health from Postpartum Support International. Her background practicing in multiple Occupational Therapy environments provides an innovative approach to therapy, extensive knowledge of self-care methods, and proficiency in trauma-informed care.

Lisa is currently 1 of 3 Certified KickPink Practitioners in Texas and the only in the DFW area, trained to help prevent and alleviate side effects of breast cancer treatment. She is currently treating survivors with stage 0-1 lymphedema.

Lisa found her passion for pelvic health after the birth of her daughter and her own diagnosis with endometriosis. She understands the experience of having chronic pain and works to be an advocate for all her patients, providing a holistic approach to healing.

Lisa is a proud Texan, married to her best friend, Justin, & together they have a beautiful daughter, Lyla.
