In this episode, I dive into the important role state association advocacy plays in advancing pelvic health occupational therapy. As pelvic health continues to grow as a specialized area of practice, advocacy is essential to ensure that occupational therapists are recognized for the valuable role we play in supporting patients with pelvic health concerns and improving access to care.
I share how state occupational therapy associations, position statements, and professional collaboration help expand awareness of pelvic health OT and strengthen our profession’s ability to serve patients effectively. I also discuss recent advocacy efforts happening across different states and why I believe more therapists should consider getting involved in shaping the future of pelvic health care.
Whether you're a practicing occupational therapist, a student exploring specialty areas, or a healthcare professional interested in pelvic health, this episode highlights how education, advocacy, and community involvement can help expand access to care and improve outcomes for patients.
