  • Understanding the Nervous System in Pelvic Health: Why It Matters

    Dr. Ryan Simmons and Dr. Tara Morrison discuss their journey in recording their third podcast and delve into the crucial topic of understanding the nervous system, particularly within the realm of pelvic health. They highlight their experiences and frustrations with not being taught polyvagal theory and trauma responses during their education.

    The hosts emphasize the prevalence of trauma in their pelvic health patients and advocate for foundational nervous system education in PT training. They explore how trauma and the nervous system influence conditions like chronic pain, inflammation, and pelvic pain, referencing the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) study. The conversation touches on practical skills and approaches that can help therapists maintain their own nervous system regulation while supporting patients, and they stress the importance of social connection and understanding one's own nervous system to facilitate healing.
