The Pelvic Floor : A Gateway to Whole Healing with Nicole Bulow

In this episode, Christine Devlin Eck and Nicole Bulow discuss the importance of pelvic floor health and its impact on overall well-being. Nicole, founder of SolFuel, a pelvic health physical therapy clinic, shares her journey from sports medicine to pelvic health, influenced by her own postpartum experiences. She emphasizes the interconnectedness of the body and the need for holistic approaches to healing. Nicole highlights common postpartum issues like urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, and the importance of early intervention. She advocates for integrating pelvic health into prenatal care and stresses the need for cultural and systemic changes to support postpartum individuals effectively.

Nicole's approach to pelvic health emphasizes the importance of listening to the body and allowing it to guide the healing process. She explains that by addressing the root causes of pelvic floor dysfunction, such as organ positioning or nervous system imbalances, lasting changes can be achieved. This holistic perspective contrasts with the traditional focus on isolated muscle strengthening, which Nicole believes often falls short in providing long-term solutions.

Furthermore, Nicole underscores the need for a collaborative, multidisciplinary approach to pelvic health. She envisions a future where pelvic floor therapists, midwives, doulas, and other healthcare providers work together to support individuals throughout their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey. This integrated model would ensure that each person's unique needs are addressed, empowering them to reclaim their pelvic and overall bodily health. By fostering this level of support, Nicole believes we can transform the cultural narrative around postpartum care and empower individuals to prioritize their well-being during this pivotal life transition.

Know more about Nicole Bulow

Nicole Bulow is the founder of SolFuel, a pelvic health physical therapy clinic. Nicole’s background is in sports medicine, and she transitioned into pelvic health as she travelled her own journey of motherhood.

Based in Seattle, Nicole has created her own integrated hands-on approach that treats the body as the interconnected system that it is.

Today, Nicole and I will be talking about pelvic health as full body health. We’ll be exploring how your pelvic floor influences your quality of life, how you feel about your body and the things you are able to do.

We’ll also discuss how our BODY influences the pelvic floor.

Our culture and specifically our systems of postpartum healing do not emphasize pelvic floor healing after birth, and thus it has become a normal thing to experience weakness and imbalance in the pelvic floor. We’ll speak about this too.

Much in alignment with the Ayurvedic approach to healing, Nicole’s approach embraces the mind, body, soul and emotions in how we heal and seek vitality.
