In this conversation, physical therapist, educator and world-class presenter (presenting in the 2026 Birth Healing Summit), Susan Clinton shares lessons from decades of clinical experience and how true clinical mastery develops through presence, curiosity, and collaboration with clients. She discusses how clinicians often over-educate and over treat, when in reality meaningful change happens through listening deeply and simplifying care. This conversation highlights how small shifts –...
In this episode, Lynn breaks down why the pelvic outlet – not just the sacroiliac joint – may be a key contributor to postpartum pain, heaviness, and persistent pelvic floor tension. She explores the biomechanics of birth, how the inlet and outlet function as a reciprocal system, and why most traditional treatment approaches only address the top half of the pelvis. She shares clinical examples of pregnant and postpartum clients whose pain, tailbone tension, and pelvic heaviness resolved quick...
If you work with pelvic pain, chronic pain, trauma, high-performing athletes, or clients who don’t fit the protocol, this episode will help. In this powerful conversation, Lynn Schulte sits down with seasoned Occupational Therapist, Elizabeth McBride, of North Texas Therapy Innovations to unpack what it really means to work with neurodiverse populations in pelvic and orthopedic practice. They explore masking, sensory processing, executive function, trauma, and why many clients are profoundly ...
If you’ve ever assessed a postpartum client and wondered whether a pelvic floor “defect” was really a tear, or something else entirely, then this episode gives you the answers. Lynn shares a newly discovered and surprisingly powerful way to release the ischiorectal fossa, a structure that can quietly inhibit pelvic floor function and stall progress. What looks like weakness or a missing contraction may simply be tissue that can’t move. In this episode, Lynn reveals a simple but game-changing ...
What if the future of maternal care uses technology to tune us into the body? In this episode, Lynn speaks with Katherine Sylvester, Dr. Kat as she is affectionately known, about her program to use wearable technology and remote monitoring to reshape maternal health by pairing objective physiologic data with relationship-centered clinical care. Instead of relying on population averages, they dive into the power of tracking each mother’s personal baseline – and monitor subtle shifts in trends ...
If you keep correcting anterior or posterior rotations of the ilium – yet they keep coming back – this episode can change how you assess the pelvis forever. Lynn invites pelvic health therapists to look beyond bones, SI mechanics, and muscle energy techniques to uncover what may actually be driving these stubborn patterns. You know that quiet inner nudge that says, “There’s more going on here”? This episode confirms it. Listen in as Lynn reveals two often-overlooked structures that can torque...
What if your client’s healing is being limited by … what you think you already know? In today’s episode, we take a deep, honest look at how assumptions – no matter how clinically sound – can quietly steer treatment in the wrong direction. Through a compelling real-life case study, you’ll hear how setting aside diagnoses, patterns, and expectations allowed the body to reveal a very different story, opening the door to profound change. This is not an episode about ignoring clinical reasoning. &...
In this powerful episode, Lynn unpacks a deeply moving clinical session with Beth Anne Fisher, PT, that reveals how early-life surgery, organ consciousness, and unresolved fear can show up decades later as SI joint pain and pelvic floor tension. Rather than “fixing” the body, Lynn listens – allowing the heart, kidneys, and pelvis to communicate what they’ve been holding onto all along. Through imagination, gentle dialogue, and energetic awareness, profound shifts occur without force or manipu...
Intravaginal work is not just a skill – it’s a responsibility. In this episode, Lynn challenges some of the most common (and limiting) approaches to internal pelvic floor treatment and outlines what actually needs to be in place for intravaginal work to be effective, ethical, and transformative for your clients. If you’ve ever felt like: Your internal work isn’t creating lasting change Clients plateau despite “doing everything right” You were taught what to assess but not how to truly cre...
What if some of the patterns you see every day in your clients – and even in yourself – didn’t originate in injury, posture, or muscle tone… but before birth itself? In this episode, we explore womb and birth imprints – implicit, body-based patterns formed during the prenatal, perinatal, and early postnatal periods that shape regulation, attachment, stress responses, and core beliefs throughout life. This is not theory for theory’s sake. This is clinical relevance. If you work with pelvic pai...
In today’s episode, learn what the Birth Healing Intensive is really about as Lynn talks with the students from the 2025 Birth Healing Intensive at their live gathering. Listen in to hear how the work from this program changed not just their practice, but their entire way of showing up in the world. They share what happens when you stop trying to “figure it all out” and start trusting your hands, your heart, and the body’s wisdom. From emotional breakthroughs to spiritual grounding, they unco...
In this reflective end-of-year episode, Lynn looks back on the teaching, travel, and collaboration that shaped 2025. From courses across the U.S., U.K., and Australia to reconnecting with mentors and colleagues, she highlights the shared curiosity and dedication of the pelvic health community and what continues to inspire and ignite her own inner fire. Lynn shares two key insights from the year: embracing her role as a heart-centered educator and recognizing the profound impact of integrati...
In this episode, Lynn brings clarity to a topic that many clinicians sense intuitively, but may not always name in their clinical reasoning: the role of energetic connection through our hands. While our field relies on research, biomechanics, and tissue science, Lynn reminds us that therapists also work with living human systems – systems influenced by intention, presence, safety, and subtle forms of communication that extend beyond technique. Using a simple “energy stick” demonstration, Lynn...
In today’s episode, Lynn shares an extremely complex clinical case with a client who was 19-years postpartum. The work done on this client unraveled layers of unresolved hip pain, bladder dysfunction, and abdominal rigidity that standard care had never been able to resolve. With a history of forceps delivery, multiple C-sections, abdominoplasty, hysterectomy, roller-skate falls, and chronic sacral imbalance, this client presented with a highly complex pelvic history. But through skilled, me...
If you treat postpartum clients with coccyx pain, this episode will change the way you assess – and dramatically improve your outcomes. Today, Lynn breaks down the often-missed biomechanical and myofascial relationships between the sacrum, coccygeus, and sphincter complex that create a functional tug-of-war on the tailbone. You’ll learn why traditional approaches fall short, the three regions you must evaluate, and how targeted release work restores true pelvic balance. ✨ Episode Highlights: ...
In this heartfelt episode, Lynn speaks with Australian physiotherapist Lisa Dempsey about her powerful journey through adversity while participating in the Birth Healing Intensive Program. When Lisa’s clinic was struck by a series of challenges, including a devastating fire, she was forced to face her limits, surrender control, and rediscover the power of vulnerability. Through the metaphor of “the feather, the brick, and the truck”, Lisa shares how life’s messages escalate until we f...

In today’s episode, we’re diving into the spiritual truths that can shift your energy, open your heart, and help you receive the love and support you’ve been unknowingly blocking. You’ll discover how focusing on gratitude and the “small things” in life can transform not only your day-to-day joy but your capacity to heal and connect. And if you’re curious how these insights can deepen your work as a hea...
Healing can come in many forms, and today, Lynn’s guest shares a simple tool that can change pelvic healing – bringing relief, comfort, and empowerment to countless women.

Drawing on nearly three decades of experience, Pam shares how principles of inflammation managemen...
What if the pain or tightness in a C-section scar isn’t just physical, but emotional, even energetic? In today’s episode, we uncover three jaw-dropping case studies that reveal how fear, anger, and other people’s energy can live inside scar tissue – and what happens when those hidden layers are finally released. You’ll hear how intuitive awareness and emotional attunement can transform stubborn scars that no technique could touch. If you’ve ever wondered why tissues won’t let go, this convers...
What if your client’s pain getting worse is actually a breakthrough waiting to happen? In this episode, Lynn shares a striking case where escalating pain revealed the real issue wasn’t physical at all—but an emotional story held deep in the tissues.
