Sharing a few thoughts here for gynecologists, urogynecologists, pelvic health physiotherapists and other health care professionals.
Pelvic floor tension is sometimes described as dysfunction.
But often, it is protection.
When someone has lived through trauma, their nervous system learns vigilance. The pelvic floor is not exempt from that learning.
Trauma-informed physiotherapy requires more than clinical skill.
It requires attunement.
Clear consent.
Slow pacing.
And respect for the intelligence of the body.
When we shift from fixing to understanding, outcomes change.
Thank you to the pelvic health professionals who are willing to work at that depth.
