We've only begun to scratch the surface of exploring the mind-body connection – and in pelvic floor therapy there's data to support the impact that feeling good in your body (and pelvic floor) can have on depression, anxiety and overall mental health, especially during major life and hormonal transitions like pregnancy, postpartum and menopause. Molly Dickens, PhD of The Maternal Stress Project sat down with our CEO Carine Carmy and eloquently explains the science between the mind-body connection. Carine notes how pain is a missing stressor in the maternal stress map, not just the physical sensation of pain but the entire experience around pain, especially the experience of pain as a woman: "Pain [as a stressor] could be related to the woman's health journey, especially if it is unexplained. It could be a function of your pregnancy or postpartum – like pelvic pain, back pain, sciatica. Imagine your pregnancy experience when you have back pain versus when you don’t, the level of incremental stress that that causes."

🌟 Struggling with chronic lower back pain? You’re not alone! Over 80% of people will experience back pain at some point, and for many, it becomes a long-term issue. Chronic back pain can affect your work, sleep, and overall quality of life. 😓 But there’s hope! The expert physical therapists at FYZICAL can help pinpoint the root cause of your pain and design a personalized treatment plan to get you moving again—pain-free! 💪 🔍 Common Causes of Chronic Lower Back Pain: 🔹Age-related changes: Wear and tear on the spine over time can lead to conditions like osteoarthritis or spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal). 🔹Pregnancy: Extra weight and shifts in posture during pregnancy often strain the lower back. 🔹Overuse or injury: Repeated activities, improper lifting, or sudden trauma can cause long-term pain. 🔹Poor posture and unstable core muscles: Bad posture and weak core muscles place extra stress on the spine. 🔹Mental health conditions: Stress and depression can intensify or contribute to chronic pain. 🔹Spinal issues: Conditions like herniated discs, bulging discs, or compression fractures can trigger pain that lingers. ✨Our physical therapists use advanced treatments like manual therapy, laser therapy, dry needling, and scientifically dosed exercises to reduce pain, restore function, and prevent further injury. We’ll also educate you on how to manage pain, so you can live your life without fear of it coming back. Take the first step towards a pain-free life! Contact FYZICAL today and let’s work together to improve your health and well-being. 🙌 https://hubs.li/Q02V4LgV0 #FYZICAL #physicaltherapy #NationalHealthEducationWeek #NHEW #Backpain #ChronicPain #BackHealth

Helping Healthcare Leaders Communicate Simply | Content Strategy & Relationship Management | Master of Public Health (MPH)
Infertility was one of the most emotionally and logistically draining struggles my husband and I endured. The sadness, frustration, and loss of control when conception eluded month after month weighed heavily on our lives. The invasive procedures, precisely timed medication routines, avalanche of tests and of course the costs, created perpetual anxiety. On top of it all, there was isolation. Even loved ones with the best intentions struggled to connect with us as this topic was so deeply personal. These are the delicate realities confronted by the one in eight couples dealing with infertility. And whether the root cause is physiological, clinical, situational, or remains unexplained - the persistent strain takes a toll. That's why compassionate and transparent communication from providers and experts is utterly vital throughout this arduous journey. Patients need: 🩺 Their specialists to explain complex diagnostics and tailor treatments. 🩺 A blame-free environment where all emotions are valid. 🩺 A secure source of guidance 🩺 Space to ask the right questions, at any time they arise In honor of Infertility Awareness Month, a challenge so close to my core, I want to share a few organizations that have caught my eye over the past few months – organizations that are working hard to support those traveling on an infertility rollercoaster.

🧑⚕️There are some great efforts to improve menopause education. However, this opinion piece from The Washington Post underscores another crucial aspect – the necessity for doctors to be well-versed in treating menopause and perimenopause in women. In a 2019 Mayo Clinic study that surveyed resident physicians in family medicine, internal medicine, and obstetrics and gynecology: 👉Nearly two-thirds gave the wrong response to a basic question about treatment 👉20% reported not receiving any lectures on menopause during residency. 👉Less than 7% said they felt adequately prepared to manage women experiencing menopause. 😔 Regrettably, this leads to women being disregarded, under-treated, misdiagnosed, and enduring unnecessary suffering. 🗨 My advice to all women – empower yourself with knowledge, understand your medical history, monitor your symptoms, seek out the RIGHT menopause specialist, and advocate for the care you deserve. 🚀Contact me to learn more about how I can help! https://lnkd.in/gu4YJ2mm #Menopause #MenopauseHealth #MenopauseCareIsEssentialHealthCare #EmpoweringWomen #MenopauseSupport Over The Bloody Moon
