Please...Don't Poke Your Patient!

“Don’t poke your patient.” It’s something we say all the time, but it’s how almost all of us were taught in pelvic health.Poking—pressing around internally to assess the pelvic floor—isn’t just ineffective, it’s also the wrong way to treat.In this episode, we break down:Why the “poke-and-see” method doesn’t workHow it’s completely different from how we assess any other muscle groupWhy it causes patients to tense, brace or withdrawWhat you should be doing instead to actually get helpful, functional informationHow mentorship and advanced training can help you move past this outdated approachThis isn’t just a clinical technique—it’s about making patients feel safe, understood, and better with every visit.✨ Want to create a business that energizes you instead of draining you?Join our FREE training: How to Create a ‘Hell Yes’ Experience from First Click to Final VisitAbout UsNicole and Jesse Cozean founded Pelvic PT Rising to provide clinical and business resources to physical therapists to change the way we treat pelvic health.   PelvicSanity Physical Therapy (www.pelvicsanity.com) together in 2016.  It grew quickly into one of the largest cash-based physical therapy practices in the country.Through Pelvic PT Rising, Nicole has created clinical courses (www.pelvicptrising.com/clinical) to help pelvic health providers gain confidence in their skills and provide frameworks to get better patient outcomes.  Together, Jesse and Nicole have helped 600+ pelvic practices start and grow through the Pelvic PT Rising Business Programs (www.pelvicptrising.com/business) to build a practice that works for them! 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!
