Hypermobility & Pelvic Health: Episode 54 with Dr Amanda Homen

Hello & Welcome to the latest episode of the CelebrateMuliebrity podcast! In today's episode, I have the pleasure of chatting with Dr Amanda Homen, a Toronto based physiotherapist and we chatted about the role of Hypermobility in Pelvic Health. Some of the topics we discussed include: what is hyper mobility and why we need to know about it in pelvic rehab why a systemic approach is needed - looking beyond the joints to the effects on the gastrointestinal and connective tissue effects The intersection of vulvodynia, dyspareunia and hyper mobility (did you know that women with hyper mobility are 6x more likely to have vulvodynia?) female athletes - when both EDS and REDs are present assessment and clinical reasoning - why we need to look beyond the Beighton Scale and more.... Amanda will be presenting on this topic at the upcoming Pelvic Health Solutions Symposium - there's a great line-up of speakers and topics, from pessaries to prostatectomy rehab - full details and registration info at the pelvichealthsolutions.ca website Want to learn more about women's health - from the comfort of home?
