So, I have met with a Pelvic Floor Specialist virtually, from my home and it’s the first step I needed to start putting my health first. I never realized that the jaw pain, shoulder pain, and low back pain that I’ve been intermittently dealing with since my last pregnancy is tied to my pelvic floor dysfunction.
Again, as a PT, you would think this would be obvious, but I’ve always found it hard to tease out musculoskeletal dysfunctions on myself.
I am so thankful for this opportunity to “reset” my body. To discuss my intimate health with someone who I trust. To be able to make appointments that fit my schedule. To be able to complete sessions in my home.
Total side note… I actually cried during my first session with Ruth Health. Kimberly, my pelvic floor specialist, was asking about life since my baby was born. And it brought up a lot of emotional stuff that happened in the past few years: Bambino’s hospitalization, the pandemic, my gallbladder surgery, job changes… I could go on.
But, I just want to note that it felt really good for someone who was treating my body, to ask about my mind. The two go hand in hand, and rarely do health care providers discuss the correlation between the two.
