Thank you Hannah for your transparency with your own pelvic health journey. This interview was so honest and informative for folks that are experiencing pelvic disfunction. Dr Erica seems to be a very empathic and knowledgable health provider. Great job ladies, Lynn
I’m an osteopathic physician practicing in a hospital based setting but understanding the neuromuscular and myofascial systems and how they interact that result in pain and dysfunction is important to consider when recommending treatments and getting the right diagnosis in the first place. This is importent
I’m in physical therapy school now and the exact same thing just happened to me, I just got placed in one accidentally! I’m nervous but this made me feel way better!
Hi ! This was quite interesting to know all the details.Frankly I have been dealing with this issue for past two months ,so I can perfectly relate to it.Thanks !
Thank you so much for this open and informative discussion. I’ve had a difficult time finding a pelvic floor rehabilitation physical therapy specialist. I feel that some doctors don’t take it seriously in some cases and due to insurance challenges they are unable to successfully advocate for the patient to get timely and effective treatment.

hi dear doctor
You say it's releasing muscle but I thought it's supposed to be that the muscle is stretched out
