Episode Details

Hello & Welcome to the latest episode of the CelebrateMuliebrity podcast!

In today's episode, I have the pleasure of chatting with Dr Amanda Homen, a Toronto based physiotherapist and we chatted about the role of Hypermobility in Pelvic Health.

Some of the topics we discussed include:

• what is hyper mobility and why we need to know about it in pelvic rehab
• why a systemic approach is needed - looking beyond the joints to the effects on the gastrointestinal and connective tissue effects
• The intersection of vulvodynia, dyspareunia and hyper mobility (did you know that women with hyper mobility are 6x more likely to have vulvodynia?)
• female athletes - when both EDS and REDs are present
• assessment and clinical reasoning - why we need to look beyond the Beighton Scale
• and more....

Amanda will be presenting on this topic at the upcoming Pelvic Health Solutions Symposium - there's a great line-up of speakers and topics, from pessaries to prostatectomy rehab - full details and registration info at the pelvichealthsolutions.ca website
