As a pelvic health professional, what questions could you ask to uncover the hidden stories your patients tell themselves about topics such as chronic pain and their pelvic floor?

In this episode, Dr. Becky explores how patient beliefs and the stories they carry about their bodies shape clinical outcomes in pelvic health. Through personal experience and patient examples, she shows how curiosity and neutrality can replace fear-driven narratives, breaking the cycle of chronic pain and dysfunction. Dr. Becky also provides clinicians with practical strategies for asking the right questions, reframing patient beliefs, and creating lasting change in recovery and resilience.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

(0:05) Why the language patients use about their symptoms directly impacts their recovery.

(3:40) How Becky’s own “bad back” story shaped her pain experience for years.

(9:54) The difference reframing beliefs made in Becky’s latest “bad back” flare-up.

(11:20) How patient-provider language can create long-lasting limiting beliefs in patients.

(15:24) How asking the right questions helps uncover hidden patient fears and beliefs.

(18:05) Examples of reframing negative beliefs into curiosity-driven perspectives.

Pelvic health professionals, how can restoring full pelvic biomechanics prevent recurrent pelvic floor dysfunction in your patients?

This episode is a deep dive into the biomechanics of the pelvis and how it relates to pelvic floor muscle function. Becky explains how the pelvic floor muscles need an optimal length-tension relationship to function automatically. She also introduces and defines key concepts like ilium internal rotation, sacral nutation, and pelvic pronation, arguing that training these movements is crucial for restoring pelvic floor function.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

(0:59) Why the pelvic floor requires an optimal length-tension relationship to function automatically.

(1:32) How ilium internal rotation creates the foundation for pelvic floor support.

(4:42) What sacral nutation and counter-nutation mean, and how to remember them.

(11:19) The difference between ilium rotation and pelvic orientation, and why patients need both.

(19:52) How pelvic pronation functions and why it is a “secret weapon” in treatment.

(23:35) Why traditional hip exercises can train away essential pelvic motion.

(27:24) How eccentric control of pelvic pronation restores pelvic floor lengthening and support.

(30:21) Why clinicians must also address rib cage and foot mechanics for long-term patient results.

Pelvic health professionals, why is relying on Kegels alone a disservice to your patients, and what should you do instead?
