In this episode of APTA Orthopaedic Podcasts, host Luciano Garcia and guest Dr. Kelli Wilson, PT, DPT, OCS, FAAOMPT, discuss how orthopaedic clinicians can start integrating pelvic health concepts into practice—without needing to perform internal exams.
Dr. Wilson shares practical tips for assessing breath, posture, the abdominal wall, and external pelvic floor coordination. She also talks about how constipation and fascial restrictions can relate to low back pain and why these areas deserve more attention in entry-level education.
For clinicians who want to learn more, she recommends several go-to resources:
- Alhooie Education
- APTA Pelvic Health Section
- Herman & Wallace
- MyPFM
- Global Pelvic Health Alliance
She emphasizes staying clinically grounded and offers mentorship opportunities for those ready to go deeper.
Target Audience:
Orthopaedic physical therapists, pelvic health-curious clinicians, DPT students, residency/fellowship-trained PTs, early-career PTs, educators in physical therapy, and clinicians looking to expand into holistic or whole-body assessment approaches.
