Pelvic PT Rising

We all have “soundtracks” — those repetitive thoughts that quietly shape how we act in business. Some are harmless, but others drag us down, create guilt, and keep us stuck. In this episode, we unpack some of the most dangerous soundtracks we hear from clinicians and business owners — and how to rewrite them. We cover: 🧠 The hidden money soundtracks (like “I’m so expensive” or “They’ll think I’m greedy”) 💬 The confidence soundtracks (“I’m not good at business” or “I just want to t...

When we’re hiring at PelvicSanity (and we are right now 👀), we always get asked what we’re looking for — and honestly, it’s not what most people expect. Experience is great…but it’s not everything. In pelvic rehab, years on a résumé don’t necessarily translate to better outcomes, better patient care, or better fit. In this episode, we’re diving into: Why “experience” in other specialties doesn’t mean much in pelvic healthHow quantity (number of patients treated) and quality (mentorship, envir...

In this Nicole’s Nudge, we’re focusing on the nervous system—and why it should be part of every evaluation and treatment plan.

The 3 Types of Failing Businesses (And Which One You Might Be In) When we think about business failure, most of us imagine closing the doors for good. But in reality, there are three different types of failure we see in pelvic health businesses — and two of them are much more common, but rarely talked about.

This week’s Nudge challenges you to choose one foundational aspect of pelvic health—sleep, movement, nutrition, or stress management—and ask every single one of your patients about it. These lifestyle factors are often overlooked but play a huge role in long-term outcomes. We discuss how to weave these questions into your sessions, what to look for in patient responses, and how to make foundations an integral part of your care plan. Nicole’s Nudges are short, bite-sized challenges that...

Do you have a reset ritual between patients? In this Nicole’s Nudge, we talk about the importance of letting go of the last session and preparing yourself mentally, physically, and emotionally for the next.

We’ll explore why reset rituals are so critical, examples of what they can look like, and how to evaluate whether yours is working effectively. Nicole’s Nudge...

Time Management for Solopreneurs: Building a Schedule That Works Most solopreneurs don’t have a real schedule—they’re just reacting. Between patients, documentation, marketing, admin, and even social media, the day feels scattered and exhausting. No wonder burnout is so common. In this episode, we break down how to build a schedule that actually works for YOU, including: Why your highest-value task is seeing patients (and how to structure it)How to use the Green/Yellow/Red system for your cal...

This week’s Nicole’s Nudge is a reminder not to overlook the feet. Our patients’ mechanics are influenced both from the top down and the bottom up. By assessing the foot, mid-foot, and rearfoot, we can uncover important contributors to pelvic floor dysfunction—or confidently check them off as not contributing to the issue.

In this first Nicole’s Nudge episode, we’re diving into two powerful questions you can use to unlock your patient’s true goals during their evaluation. Too often, we get caught up in the symptoms without uncovering what really scares our patients—or how their life would change if those symptoms disappeared. These questions can shift the entire course of care and strengthen the therapeutic alliance right from the start. Listen in as we share the exact phrasing for these questions, why th...

How We Onboard New Patients (And Why It Matters So Much) When new patients call your clinic, they’re often nervous, skeptical, and unsure. Many have never heard of pelvic PT—and nearly all have had negative healthcare experiences in the past. Onboarding isn’t just logistics—it’s your first chance to show them you’re different. Done well, it builds comfort, trust, and confidence before they ever step into the treatment room. In this episode, we share: Why onboarding is so important in pelvic h...
