Do I Have to do Internal to be a Pelvic PT?

In this 'sode, we examine the arguments against routinely doing internal with patients who have pelvic floor symptoms and ask what it really means to be a "pelvic PT."Our baseline philosophy is that anyone who calls themselves a pelvic PT should be routinely evaluating and treating the pelvic floor internally.Of course, this doesn't apply to patients who don't give consent, children and any others who internal is not appropriate.But patients deserve to know what to expect from someone calling themselves a "Pelvic PT."  Agree, disagree?  Let us know!Pelvic PT EssentialsIf you're interested in learning more about the Pelvic PT Essentials online continuing education course, you can always check it out at www.pelvicptrising.com/essentials.Shout Out and Get in Touch!If you're enjoying the podcast, please take a few seconds to take a screenshot and put it up in your Instagram Stories and tag Nicole (@nicolecozeandpt).  Or send us an email at [email protected] with your thoughts, questions or ideas.  We'd love to hear from you!About UsNicole and Jesse Cozean founded PelvicSanity Physical Therapy together in 2016.  It grew quickly into one of the largest cash-based physical therapy practices in the country.They believe every pelvic physical therapist should find a position they love and feel confident in treating even the most complex patients.  They started Pelvic PT Rising to provide clinical and business resources to pelvic PTs to raise the level of our profession.Get in Touch!Learn more at www.pelvicptrising.com, follow Nicole @nicolecozeandpt (www.instagram.com/nicolecozeandpt) or reach out via email ([email protected]).Check out our Clinical Courses, Business Resources and learn more about us at Pelvic PT Rising...Let's Continue to Rise!
