Breaking the Stigma
How do we move forward? I have identified that urine leakage is a significant problem within the female athlete population and that it is rarely addressed or discussed. I have also identified the benefits of pelvic health PT in this population. But, why are girls still not seeking help? This is where, we as professionals, need to bridge the gap. It is apparent that there are gaps within the healthcare system, but I think this is something we can improve on. Education: I encourage you to listen to this podcast by Julie Weibe on her views on educating ourselves on this topic and how influential social media can be. More importantly, how influential false information can become praised. Know your sources and levels of education that you are viewing for your information. She discusses her personal hashtag #EducatedHope. #EDUCATEDHOPE AND MAKING THE PELVIC FLOOR LESS TABOO WITH JULIE WIEBE: https://themovementmaestro.com/2019/04/22/motm-110-educatedhope-...
