Still starting your evals with strength testing? It’s time to rethink that.

Most pelvic health pros are trained to assess isolated pelvic floor strength first—and then jump straight into isolated strengthening. But we believe that’s backwards.

In this episode, we’re talking about why you should start with function first—because it leads to better patient buy-in, faster results, and helps your patients actually connect their symptoms to real-life movement and function.

We also dive into:
✅ Why pelvic floor therapists often overlook orthopedic factors
✅ Why ortho therapists often miss the specialized pelvic floor knowledge
✅ How combining both orthopedic and pelvic assessments gives you the full picture
✅ The importance of standing and dynamic assessments to see how the pelvic floor works in the system
✅ Our mantra: Assess, Don’t Guess!

If you want to bridge the gap between orthopedic and pelvic health—and stop wasting time on isolated strength tests—this episode is for you!
