Thrilled to discuss this topic with @thrivingthrum

Thrilled to discuss this topic with @thrivingthrumenopause to empower women about the connection between the voice and se*ual heath and vitality!

Repost from @thrivingthrumenopause •

The voice is increasingly recognized as a tell-tale sign of health.

It is the new biomarker for wellness.

My guest this week is @drgingergarner an integrative PT, educator, and longtime advocate committed to making physical therapy services accessible, affordable, and equitable, especially for pelvic health.

She is the CEO of Living Well Institute founded in 2000 to teach therapists how to use integrative therapies (Yoga, Functional and Lifestyle Medicine) in clinical and health promotion practice

In this episode, Dr Ginger and I discuss the importance of taking a functional, integrative, and lifestyle medicine approach to treating pelvic health issues.

And Dr Ginger shares her innovative work focused on the close link between the vagus nerve and the three diaphragms, including the vocal diaphragm and voice.

We delve deeper into:

1. What does taking a holistic approach to menopause look like as a pelvic PT?

2. What is trauma-informed care?

3. Why do we need it and why does it matter for menopause?

4. What are common functional medicine tests and/or interventions for menopause?

5. What can integrative pelvic PT do - why is it superior to pelvic PT alone?

This is a must listen episode for patients and healthcare providers alike.

A FULL house at Elon University teaching faculty and clinical instructors across North Carolina about how to immediately apply Integrative and Lifestyle Medicine in Physical Therapy! An absolute highlight of my day was one of my earliest PT mentors and teachers was there, Dr. Cynthia Lewis, PT, PhD! We were both teary 🥲 I was humbled to be a UNC alum teaching a UNC alum and PT legend, and she was proud to see what one of her Chapel Hill students has achieved.

Also a big highlight was teaching the few new PT grads getting ready to sit for their boards - who are also yoga teachers and pelvic health enthusiasts - who can’t wait to apply yoga in physical therapy as a result of this class!

“Now I understand how this can be integrated into my work as a PT.” That was the most common phrase I heard - I’m just over the moon there’s now 120 or so PT’s who are going to take this knowledge back into academics, research, mentorship, and clinical practice!

“It takes a village,” is a quote often used when it comes to solving BIG PROBLEMS.⁠

👉🏼Chronic disease in the US has reached a tipping point in the United States, accounting for 81% of hospital admissions; 91% of all prescriptions filled; and 76% of all physician visits, (Partnership for Solutions). ⁠
⁠
💊The effects of chronic disease are systemic. We don’t just say,” Oh no, my pancreas has diabetes!” Because we understand that it doesn’t just start and end in the pancreas - untreated diabetes can lead to heart attack, stroke, and problems with the kidneys, eyes, gums, feet and nerves. ⁠
