May is pelvic pain awareness month, and we're making progress!
The media is finally catching up to the truth about pelvic pain. Look at this from the LA Times:
"Because these medical issues aren’t required study in most residency programs, including those for gynecologists, many patients are misdiagnosed or aren’t given a diagnosis at all from their doctor."
We desperately need our medical education to catch up! And you know how passionate we are—we're on a mission to train all clinicians who do pelvic exams to assess, manage, document, and treat pelvic pain WITH EASE— with our foundational online pelvic health course, Beyond the Kegel?.
"I am an FNP practicing GI in a well-established practice full of male physicians! I never could have dreamt of how much pelvic floor I would see in my practice, as well as picking up on “missed”/under-recognized pelvic floor disorders. It has become a very strong clinical interest of mine.

The Institute for Pelvic Health will help me to provide more pelvic floor treatment options for my patients! - Brilliant!!" - Michelle M., GI NP
"Beyond the Kegel is an absolute game-changer! As a WNHP, I've taken other pelvic health courses, but none have resonated with me quite like this one. The interdisciplinary approach of experts blending NP and PT backgrounds is brilliant. IPH has seamlessly synthesized knowledge from both fields, presenting it in a concise yet comprehensive manner tailored for NPs. This course not only leverages our NP education but also expands our toolbox significantly. Thanks to Beyond the Kegel, I feel more empowered and equipped to provide top-notch care to my pelvic health patients. I can't recommend it enough- every NP program should integrate this invaluable resource!" - Debra T, WHNP
If you've already enrolled- amazing! If not, today is the day to join your nearly 100 clinician colleagues who are assessing, managing, documenting, and treating pelvic pain with EASE —empowering both their patients and their practice!
LET'S DO THIS!
Love,
Kathy & Melissa
