Episode 51: Dr. Melissa Thompson On Pelvic Floor Health & Endometriosis

Dr. Melissa Thompson Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist is a Doctorate in Physical Therapy from LSU Health Sciences Center in New Orleans.    She has been working exclusively with the pelvic floor and women's health population for several years.    Dr. Mel attended multiple specialist trainings for pelvic floor and work exclusively with women's health and pelvic floor problems, including pregnancy, postpartum, pain with sex, endometriosis, interstitial cystitis, and bladder, and bowel issues.  She loves addressing the body holistically and the difficulty she had finding this kind of care for her own pelvic pain is what drives her to do this work.    Dr. Mel wants to get YOU the best care from a comprehensive, holistic, evidence-based standpoint because that's what works in my years of experience.  She knows that many women are not asking for the help that they should be and are not preparing for pregnancy and birth.    A lack of preparedness is shown clearly in the evidence to lead to more interventions, not understanding what decisions are being made, and not practicing in your body to be set up to take the most control of your labor and birth that you can. This ultimately leads to more leaking, more injury, and slower recovery postpartum returning to your favorite exercise and intimate life. Dr. Mel is currently practicing in her clinic that she opened in July 2020 in Houma, Louisiana You can contact Dr. Mel Thompson here: www.louisianapelvichealth.com
