It’s important to me that we while I help people with business and professional development that we don’t lose sight of self-care. I believe rehabilitation practitioners are prepared in many ways to be the GO-TO practitioners for comprehensive, non-invasive, empowering care for people with pelvic health issues and breast cancer side effects. It is my mission to help you deliver the BEST care, promote our profession, and remove obstacles so that you can help more people with greater confidence.Join the Pelvic Health & Breast Cancer Rehab Specialists Facebook group.Please SUBSCRIBE to this podcast & SHARE with your colleagues!Thank you so much for listening!

  2. What is comprehensive breast cancer care?

    2023/06/05

    What is comprehensive breast cancer care?

    Often, when people hear breast cancer rehab they think of lymphedema treatment, but there is so much more we can do! Comprehensive breast cancer care is about knowing how to prevent and treat ALL of the side effects of breast cancer. If patients have post-op issues such as seromas, lymphatic cording, shoulder dysfunction or core compromise…they need access to a rehab provider who can help! And sadly, there just are not enough of us.  So many people are living with chronic pain after treatment, like post-mastectomy pain syndrome, chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy, joint pain, and dyspareunia. Often, these are seen as unfortunate side effects from life-saving interventions, but it doesn’t mean that they are not preventable and treatable!  As rehab practitioners, we have a unique perspective on systems integration. Few professions out there understand anatomy and can apply the bio-psycho-social model like we do! Imagine the ability of cancer patients to get early intervention at the time of diagnosis and improved continuity of care across all areas of rehab from acute care to outpatient services and home health. As our profession grows and continues to fill in healthcare gaps, oncology will be one of those areas that gains momentum as comprehensive cancer care expands. -         Link to the FREE resource Safe Exercise Screening Tool for Breast Cancer Patients + Analysis & Next Steps -         Link to the Do No Harm Breast Cancer Rehab Guide; it will tell you what modalities, exercises, manual therapies and more are contra-indicated or where you should take precautions after specific cancer treatments.

  3. Reach Out the Back Test for Shoulder Dysfunction in Breast Cancer Patients with Denise Stewart

    2023/06/05

    Reach Out the Back Test for Shoulder Dysfunction in Breast Cancer Patients with Denise Stewart

    Denise Stewart is an Australian Occupational Therapist who developed her own test for shoulder dysfunction in breast cancer patients called the Reach Out the Back Test. Shoulder dysfunction can occur in this population due to pectoral tightness, skin fibrosis, scar adhesions and cording. This test goes beyond straight plane movement in flexion and abduction to multi-planar movement which is how we live functionally. True functional movement can be harder to provide a quantitative measure for, but this test provides good qualitative findings on evaluation, and after treatment, to determine effectiveness of rehab interventions and help determine tissue restrictions.If you would like to learn how to apply this test in your own rehab practice with breast cancer patients check out Denise's online Reach Out the Back course.Also, register for the annual online Breast Cancer Rehabilitation Summit running February 15-21 2021.

  4. Need to Know Info about Breast Implants

    Need to Know Info about Breast Implants

    Are breast implants safe? In this episode we talk to Danielle Valoras, a physicians assistant specializing in psycho-neuro-endocrine immunology and an advocate for transparent conversations regarding the safety of breast implants. Danielle experience varied vague symptoms like fatigue, connective tissue issues, swelling, hair loss, brain fog and even depression-like symptoms. Eventually she was not able to use her left arm. Physical exertion lead to migraines. Multiple doctors and practitioners did not link these symptoms to her breast implants. She got an explant less than 2 years later and immediately could breathe more easily and use her left arm.After the implant and surrounding capsule were removed a seroma formed. This seroma (fluid filled pocket) formed after the implant was removed, but interestingly, testing showed silicone within the seroma as well! This is important to consider due to the risk of Breast Implant Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Carcinoma (BIA-ALCL) which is a lymphoma associated with textured implants. Although there was a mass recall on textured implants, Danielle explains that any breast implant is a foreign body and no matter the type, silicone can shed from the shell of the implant into the capsule and surrounding fatty tissue.Breast implant illness has been a diagnosis of exclusion up to this point meaning that the breast implant and surrounding capsule are removed (explanted) to determine if symptoms resolve. But recent testing via MRI has the capacity to determine physiological involvement of the implant by looking for silicone induced granulomas (SIGBIC - silicone induced granuloma of breast implant capsule). This is not yet a widely known diagnostic method and does require a polarized lighting microscope to detect the presence of silicone bleeding related to implants.Danielle's experience with breast implant illness spun her career as a physician's assistant into advocacy. Her quest for answers and treatment options is crossing into the rehab world; she lights up talking about breath work to calm the nervous system, and manual therapy for lymphatic drainage and visceral mobilization.As if breast implant illness isn't a controversial topic, we talk about other touchy subjects too, like radiation over expanders and implants, informed consent for breast reconstruction, and rehab services pre and post implant placement. This is an interesting conversation as we merge the worlds of breast implant illness with comprehensive care for breast cancer patients. If you are a medical or rehab provider who would like to know more about structure and function as it pertains to breast implants & reconstruction, check out the course Breast Cancer Rehabilitation; Comprehensive Evaluation & Treatment. I look forward to collaborating with Danielle in the future about how we can improve function for people with implants and quality of life for those who experience breast implant illness.  For more information about the safety of implants please visit the resources page from the 2020 Breast Implant Health Summit. If you would like to get in touch with Danielle, you can find her on Instagram @navwell or on the Breast Implant Health Summit.  Get in the conversation by joining the Facebook group Pelvic Health & Breast Cancer Rehab Specialists. Informed care isn't easy, but it is necessary

  5. Healing Pelvic Pain with Pleasure

    2023/05/10

    Healing Pelvic Pain with Pleasure

    In this episode Dee Hartmann shares the value of incorporating pleasure into treatment for pelvic pain. Pain-free intercourse is an excellent long-term goal, but our patients usually want to experience pleasure during intimate moments with their partners and themselves. Moving the brain from a pain to pleasure-focused state requires a graded approach from attuning to pleasurable sensation in our environment to exploring safe and pleasurable touch with ourselves. Calming the brain, feeling embodied, and safe in communication to receive pleasurable touch are incredibly important for physical, emotional, and relational healing.If you would like to learn more about integrating pleasure into your rehab practice, and want to provide your clients with a great resource, I highly recommend reading 'The Pleasure Prescription; A Surprising Approach to Healing Sexual Pain.'  It includes case studies, diagrams, and the latest scientific research. Each chapter ends with “prescriptions” designed to guide readers through the healing process.Other resources mentioned in this podcast include: Vulvalove.comPleasuremovement.comGenitalhealth.orgThanks for tuning into the show and, please, leave a review!

In this episode, Holly thanks the many giants of pelvic physical therapy (the backs of which we stand on). They deserve the upmost respect and gratitude.Your action item for this week: THANK someone who inspired you to rise up in your greatness treating pelvic health patients and post it for everyone to see in the Pelvic Health & Breast Cancer Rehab Specialists Facebook group.
