In today’s episode, Dr. Breann has one helluva story to share with
you. Dr. Breann is a fellow pelvic health therapist and a visceral
manipulation practitioner. After enduring several significant
pelvic traumas in her early 20's, Dr. Breann constantly dealt with
pelvic pain, painful intercourse, and urinary woes. All of which
she was told she would have to live with for the rest of her
life.
Dr. Breann discusses the importance of recognizing how physical and
emotional trauma can manifest in a variety of protective
mechanisms. She reminds us that “motion is lotion, everything needs
to move.“
With pelvic floor dysfunction, the issues are not always coming
from the tissues and understanding the primary drivers are key for
recovery. Mental and physiological flexibility is necessary to move
through traumatic experiences in life. Sometimes it’s mustering the
courage to travel the road less traveled. It’s not always an easy
one, but well worth it.
