<p>Hello & Welcome to the latest episode of the Celebrate Muliebrity podcast!</p><p>After a short Easter break and a trip to Prague to present at SEUD (more about that soon!) we’re back with a new podcast episode - where Dr Becky Parr and I had a great time discussing pelvic health in athletes, trauma informed care and pelvic girdle pain & pregnancy related abdominal wall neuropathy (or PRAWN 🦐)</p><p>Curious? Read on!</p><p>Becky explains that PRAWN is an umbrella term for various abdominal nerve entrapment syndromes, often misdiagnosed as round ligament pain. </p><p>She describes the anatomy involved and how the condition develops, typically around 12 weeks of pregnancy. We explored diagnostic techniques, particularly the Carnett's test, which helps differentiate between abdominal wall pain and visceral pain, and the importance of examining the abdomen for scars and assessing myofascial mobility when treating PRAWN.</p><p>Becky has just had a paper on this topic published in the most recent issue of the pogp journal, which has become a must read resource for pelvic health clinicians under the stewardship of Grainne Donnelly at the editorial helm</p><p>We also discussed Becky’s other research interests, around the importance of integrating trauma-informed care principles into clinical practice, particularly in pelvic health settings. Becky shared her experiences teaching a mindful patient management course and conducting a longitudinal study on the impact of trauma-informed care on dpt students. </p><p>We also discussed Becky's ongoing research on how pelvic health therapists become trauma-informed and the potential benefits of this knowledge for clinical practice and I’m looking forward to seeing this presented at IUGA in Barcelona in June. I’ll be there too, presenting about sexual health after cancer - will I see you there? Let me know!</p><p>You can find Becky on LinkedIn , ResearchGate and on instagram as @beckyparrpt</p><p>I’m there too as @michellelyons_muliebrity, where you can follow my adventures in women’s health, stay up to date with research and find out more about my online courses (or visit CelebrateMuliebrity.com)</p><p>Until next time, Onwards & Upwards!

<p>Hi everyone and welcome to this episode of the Celebrate Muliebrity podcast, where I had a great conversation with Dr Tina Mapa, who has built a flourishing career delivering pelvic healthcare, with a focus on dyspareunia, completely virtually!</p><p>We talk about how telehealth is different and perhaps even superior in some regards when it comes to improving access to care and promoting self-efficacy</p><p>We did address how manual therapy and in person assessment skills can be adapted...</p><p>We discussed the importance of promoting holistic health, the evolving understanding of pelvic pain, and the benefits of telehealth for pelvic health, particularly for those who have experienced trauma or pain.</p><p>Dr. Tina discussed her background and current work in telehealth pelvic floor physical therapy, emphasising the importance of empowering patients to take charge of their own health and recovery through education. The conversation also touched on the benefits of telehealth for pelvic health, the challenges faced by women in healthcare, and the potential of a cash-based model for physical therapy. </p><p>I think this was a really thought provoking conversation which may challenge some biases! To find out more about Tina and her work, you can find her on instagram as @dr.tinamapa and @vrdxdr.tina</p><p>Want to learn more about promoting sexual health, treating dyspareunia, understanding the effects of different types of contraception and our evidence based role in promoting fertility, including ART/IVF? Then you might be interested in my latest online course, Female Sexual Health, Contraception & Fertility - you can find all the details at CelebrateMuliebrity.com</p><p>Questions or thoughts about this?

<p>Hello & welcome to this episode all about the intersection of hip health and pelvic health, with one of my favourite researchers/clinicians, Dr Alison Grimaldi</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode we discuss the interconnectedness of the pelvic floor, hip muscles, and nerves in the pelvic region, how the pelvic floor works in conjunction with other muscles, particularly the obturator internus, to support pelvic function. </p><p>We emphasized the importance of considering both pelvic floor and hip issues when treating patients, as weakness in hip muscles can affect pelvic floor function and vice versa. </p><p>The conversation also covers the potential for sciatic nerve irritation in the deep gluteal space, particularly in athletes like cyclists and trail runners, and the importance of screening for pelvic floor issues in patients with hip or buttock pain.</p><p>We shared our mutual disdain for the clamshell exercise (WHY do people recommend it?) and an exploration of Alison’s 2025 open access paper - a masterclass on gluteal tendinopathies </p><p><br></p><p>Want to learn more from Alison?</p><p><br></p><p>Here is the link to the Glasgow workshop: <a href="https://www.hampdensportsclinic.com/events/events-the-hip/">https://www.hampdensportsclinic.com/events/events-the-hip/</a></p><p><br></p><p>and more course info: <a href="https://dralisongrimaldi.com/event/online-hip-workshop-lateral-hip-and-buttock-pain-2025/">https://dralisongrimaldi.com/event/online-hip-workshop-lateral-hip-and-buttock-pain-2025/</a> </p><p><br></p><p>And if you’d like to learn more about the role of hormonal health in just about everything, but especially in a woman’s musculoskeletal health, head to CelebrateMuliebrity.com for info on my online Female Hormonal Health Masterclass & other courses, from Female Pelvic Pain, to Hysterectomy, Breast Cancer, Pelvic Cancer, Bowel Health & Back Pain - let me know if you have any questions via Instagram where I nerd out about women’s health as @michellelyons_muliebrity</p><p><br></p><p>See you next time!
