This wide-ranging interview with Dr. Heather Jeffcoat is one of our favorites of all time!  We hear what brought her into pelvic PT, how she ended up starting her own practice, writing a book and teaching all over the world.On top of it all, Heather has just been named President-Elect for the Academy of Pelvic Health, meaning she'll be taking a leadership role at the APTA over the next three years!In Part 1 we get into the gold standard of physical therapy .  She makes an amazing distinction about providing true patient care, not the illusion or "idea of care" insurance companies would like us to provide.  We discuss the role of telehealth and biofeedback in pelvic PT and a lot about her history in the field.You won't want to miss it, and catch Part 2 of her interview (we couldn't talk with her for just 30 minutes!) next week!If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to take a screenshot of it and tag both Nicole (@NicoleCozeanDPT) and Heather (@TheLadyPartsPT) on Instagram - let Heather know how much we appreciate her joining us!Dr. Heather JeffcoatHeather is the founder and owner of Fusion Wellness & Physical Therapy focusing on orthopedics and pelvic health for everyone with a pelvis.
