This weekend, our team at The Source Pelvic Health & Wellness stepped away from the treatment room and into the classroom for continuing education in Visceral Manipulation.

Visceral Manipulation is a hands-on approach that explores the relationship between the body’s organs, connective tissues, and surrounding structures—and how these relationships can influence movement, tension, comfort, and overall function.

For us, continuing education is about expanding the lens through which we understand the body. We believe pelvic health is never just about one muscle, one symptom, or one area of the body. A truly individualized approach considers the whole person.

Our patients trust us with some of the most personal aspects of their health, and we’re committed to continually learning so we can provide thoughtful, evidence-informed, and highly personalized care. 🤍

Investing in our education means investing in your care.

October is National Physical Therapy Month!

At The Source Pelvic Health & Wellness, we’re celebrating the power of movement, healing, and whole-body wellness!

Pelvic floor physical therapy is about so much more than the pelvic floor. Your core, hips, low back, breathing, posture, movement patterns, and nervous system all work together—and we believe your care should consider the whole picture.

Pelvic health PT can help women, men, children, and active adults with concerns ranging from pelvic pain, bladder and bowel dysfunction, pregnancy and postpartum recovery, and prostate-related issues to children’s bedwetting, constipation, and daytime accidents.

Our goal is to help you understand your body, uncover contributing factors, and build the strength, confidence, and tools to move and live well.

You don’t have to simply work around symptoms.

This October, celebrate your health by investing in movement, strength, and wellness.

PELVICON 2026 RECAP — DAY 4 | FINAL DAY

We had the incredible privilege of spending 6 hours learning from pain scientist Paul Hodges during Pelvicon 2026—and we’re bringing those clinical pearls back to The Source. 💚

Here are 3 key takeaways:

1️⃣ Understand the drivers of pain.
Pain is complex, and there isn’t always one single explanation. Paul reviewed the three categories of pain mechanisms and emphasized the importance of identifying the predominant drivers contributing to an individual’s pain.

Understanding what is driving the pain can help guide treatment and support recovery.

2️⃣ Sometimes we need to work from the bottom up. Sometimes from the top down.
Not every patient needs the same approach.

A bottom-up approach may focus on physical factors such as movement, strength, mobility, and the tissues involved. A top-down approach may focus more on the nervous system, pain processing, and how the brain and body are responding to the experience of pain.

Knowing which approach—or combination—is appropriate can help us avoid unnecessary interventions and provide more individualized care.

3️⃣ Pain science is still evolving.
Paul also brought us up to date on new and developing terminology in the pain science world and challenged us to think about how these concepts connect to pelvic pain.

As our understanding of pain continues to evolve, so does the way we approach complex pelvic pain.

💚 Our biggest takeaway from Pelvicon 2026:
The more we understand the why behind someone’s symptoms, the better we can individualize care.

Four days of research, education, clinical discussion, and collaboration gave us so much to bring home to our patients.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to learn from leaders in the field and continue growing as pelvic health clinicians.

Pelvicon 2026 may be over, but the learning continues. 💚

PELVICON 2026 RECAP — DAY 3

Another day of research, clinical pearls, and important reminders about why evidence-based pelvic health care matters.

1️⃣ DRA isn’t about shrinking the gap.
Grainne Donnelly presented the latest research on diastasis recti abdominis (DRA), and the evidence challenges the idea that the space between the abdominal muscles needs to be “closed” to achieve recovery.

Exercise does NOT cause DRA or prevent healing. Instead, rehabilitation should focus on the whole body—including strength, movement, and pressure management—with particular consideration for pelvic floor function following higher-risk births, such as forceps delivery.

2️⃣ Pelvic PT can help with back pain
Michelle Lyons reinforced the role of pelvic PT in addressing low back pain through an approach we use consistently at The Source: manual therapy, mindfulness, and movement.

Research suggests that 50% of women limit exercise participation because of pelvic floor dysfunction. We want to help change that narrative—helping women return to movement that supports their physical health, mental well-being, quality of life, and healthy aging.

3️⃣ Bladder symptoms during intimacy deserve attention.
Do you feel like you need to empty your bladder before intimacy? Or worry about your bladder during intimacy?

Taryn Hallam presented research on female urinary incontinence during intimacy, highlighting how pelvic floor physical therapists can help women understand and address these symptoms.

She also shared fascinating education about the anatomy behind orgasm-related fluid release—and why, for some women, this can be a normal physiological phenomenon.

💚 Our biggest takeaway:
The more we understand the research, the better we can individualize care.

At The Source, we’re continually learning so we can bring current evidence, thoughtful clinical reasoning, and whole-person care back to our patients.

Stay tuned for the 4th and final day!

✨PELVICON 2026 RECAP — DAY 2 ✨
Another day of learning, research, and clinical insight—and so many reminders of why evidence-based pelvic health care matters.

Here are 3 takeaways we’re bringing back to The Source:

1️⃣ Michelle Lyons reminded us of the important role we have in supporting individuals after cancer treatment beyond pelvic cancer. The effects of cancer treatment can extend to the pelvic regions regardless of its location further from the pelvis (for example breast cancer) with potential long-term impacts on sexual function, intimacy, and quality of life. Pelvic PT can be an important part of that recovery.

2️⃣ Postpartum healing deserves respect. Taryn Hallam challenged us to look beyond the abstract and really understand what the research is telling us. For women at higher risk of pelvic floor avulsion—such as with older maternal age, larger babies, or forceps delivery—a slower, gentler approach to postpartum pelvic floor rehabilitation may be appropriate. A birth-related muscle avulsion is an acute injury, and healing takes time. Over exercising this injury can cause limited healing and lead to increased lifelong risk of urinary incontinence and prolapse.

3️⃣ Timing matters in men's pelvic health. Paul Hodges reinforced the importance of when we activate and train the pelvic floor in men following DVP. Pelvic PT can help with this process, and ultrasound can provide valuable feedback to guide activation.

💚 Our biggest takeaway: Better education + better understanding of the evidence = better-informed pelvic health care.

We’re taking what we learned at Pelvicon 2026 and bringing it back to our patients. Stay tuned for Day 3!

✨ PELVICON 2026 RECAP — DAY 1 ✨

Four hours of studying vulvar anatomy & health flew by! And we walked away with some BIG takeaways.

💛 Topical estrogen is safe at any age.
Dr. Rachel Rubin shared that we may need to consider starting topical estrogen earlier than we traditionally have—an important shift in how we think about vulvar and vaginal health.
💛 DHEA is one to watch.
Some recent studies suggest topical DHEA may outperform estrogen for certain outcomes. More research is emerging, so this is definitely a topic we’ll be keeping an eye on!
💛 Hormonal birth control can have lasting effects.
Even relatively short-term use of hormonal birth control in the past may influence vulvar anatomy and tissue health.

The biggest takeaway? Vulvar health deserves attention across the lifespan—not just when something becomes painful or problematic.
We’re bringing all of this learning back to our patients and continuing to expand how we approach pelvic health care.

Stay tuned for Day 2 of our Pelvicon 2026 takeaways!

PMOS Is More Than a Diagnosis

What do blood sugar, inflammation, hormones, genetics, the nervous system, and pelvic health have in common?

They can all be important pieces of the bigger PMOS picture.

This month, The Source Pelvic Health & Wellness is excited to collaborate with Amber Carver, Integrative Nutritional Therapy Practitioner & Epigenetics Coach, to explore the connection between these systems and whole-person health.

🌿 Want to learn more? Our September newsletter takes a deeper look at the pieces that may be influencing how you feel—and how pelvic floor physical therapy can support your health along the way.

September is PMOS Awareness Month, and this month’s newsletter is all about understanding Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS), formerly known as Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and the ways it can affect the whole body—not just the ovaries.

PMOS can be associated with pelvic pain, painful intimacy, bladder or bowel concerns, hormonal changes, metabolic challenges, and more. Your symptoms are real, and you don't have to simply accept them as “part of having PMOS.”

✨ Inside our September newsletter, we’re exploring:
• What PMOS is and why the name matters
• The connection between PMOS and pelvic floor health
• Symptoms that may be overlooked
• How pelvic floor physical therapy can help
• Practical strategies to improve comfort, movement, and confidence

At The Source Pelvic Health and Wellness, we believe your care should look at the whole picture. Pelvic floor PT doesn't treat the hormonal or metabolic causes of PMOS, but it can be an important part of a comprehensive healthcare team.

📩 Join our newsletter to receive this month’s education, practical tips, and resources delivered straight to your inbox.

💚 Your body deserves care that looks at the whole picture.

Honored to Guest Speak with Portsmouth Naval Chaplains
It was an honor to speak with the Portsmouth Naval Chaplains about an important topic that is often overlooked: pelvic health and the whole person. Thankful to Emily Teel M.A., LMFT of e.sage.therapy for the invite.

Pelvic health is about much more than bladder and bowel function. Pelvic health concerns can affect:
• Physical readiness
• Sleep and concentration
• Exercise and performance
• Confidence and relationships
• Mental and emotional well-being
For Chaplains, understanding these connections can be especially valuable because they are often among the first people Service Members turn to when they need a safe place to talk about difficult or deeply personal concerns.
Thank you to the Portsmouth Naval Chaplains for creating space for this important conversation and for the work you do to support the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.
— Dr. Jaclyn Napier, PT, DPT, PRPC
