Pelvic PT Rising
Helping pelvic physical therapists improve as clinicians, in their careers or business, and their lives. Hosted by Dr. Nicole Cozean and Jesse Cozean, the founders of PelvicSanity physical therapy and the Pelvic PT Huddle, the podcast explores all aspects of pelvic physical therapy. You'll find the clinical pearls that Dr. Nicole teaches in her continuing education courses, the business and career advice that catapulted PelvicSanity into one of the largest cash-based physical therapy practices in the country, and living life as business owners and pelvic health advocates. And we'll be keeping it 100% real - and having some fun - along the way!
The patient experience doesn't begin at the initial evaluation. Not by a long shot.
Before then, the patient has already reviewed your website and - critically - spoken with your front desk.
We can't overstate the importance of this interaction, but far too often it's overlooked and forgotten. Whether you work for someone else, are answering your own phones or employing your own front desk, ensuring patients get empathy and authority on the phone is so critical.
In this business shorty, we dive into the importance of that initial phone call and how to make sure it's a great experience for patients!

In this 'sode we take a deep dive into the merits and struggles of biofeedback in pelvic PT. We ask the ultimate question - is biofeedback worth your time?
We discuss the known and effective limitations of biofeedback, arguments for and against, and present our conclusion.
As always, we examine the best form of the argument for and against the routine use of biofeedback. Agree? Disagree? Let us know, but a well-reasoned debate is absolutely worth having!

How do you define success?
It seems like a simple question, but it's actually a cornerstone of a happy career or business.
For many of us, finances are a primary scoreboard when it comes to our job or running our own clinic. But is this really how we choose to define success - or is it just easy?
In this 'sode we talk about the importance of defining success for ourselves and not letting goalposts shift and move so we're perpetually chasing goals that might not even be ours.
If you're working for someone else, it involves understanding both your financial needs but also the other things that make you happy - time flexibility, work environment, learning, growth, and other intangibles.
If you're running your own business, this becomes even more important! You need to make sure your business is working for you. It's far, far too easy to wake up and realize you're working for your business instead.

Should you have a consistent evaluation process or should it vary significantly depending on your patient?
We've been training a new member of our team, which always leads to some great questions. One that came up this week was: "How much should your evaluation change depending on the patient?"
In this 'sode we dive into what your evaluation should look like. What kind of framework you should have and how you can modify it to provide patient-centered care.
One major point we bring up here is freeing yourself from the constraints of the 'one-visit eval.' In reality, your evaluation is likely to take up at least two visits, and maybe more, depending on the complexity of your patient.
Some great info here on optimizing your initial evaluation - check it out!

What are the biggest things holding you back in your business and career?
In this Business Shorty episode, we dive into 10 of the biggest "anchors" we see. We can have all the knowledge, strategies and tactics but if we're struggling with these we'll never get the momentum in our business or career we want to have.
And the success we do have will be harder to achieve and maintain and feel more frustrating.
Which of these do you recognize in yourself? Would love to hear!

- How Pelvic PTs are expanding our role in women's health throughout their lifespans
- Why working with women through menopause is a huge missing link in our field at the moment
- Steps we can all take to better support women's health
- Putting yourself out there, the creative process and failing fast
- Being a business nerd as well as an anatomy nerd
- And much, more more.
If you missed Part 1, make sure to go back and check that out - loved talking with Michelle about the overall state of our field, throwing off insurance shackles and her career advice for younger pelvic PTs!

For many patients rectal evaluation and treatment is the "missing link" in their progress. Yet the majority of patients never even have an evaluation, and many that do never have consistent treatment. Why?
Often we're not comfortable as pelvic PTs with our rectal skills. Most courses only discuss "obvious" cases - GI, colorectal, or male patients.
But these are often a small fraction of our patients; we should be looking for our pelvic pain, post-partum, or orthopedic patients in many cases!
We've been working on this Rectal: Evaluation & Treatment course for almost six months, wanting to make sure EVERY pelvic PT is comfortable integrating rectal treatment into their clinical practice.
In this 'sode we go through the origin of this course, how we can better integrate rectal evaluation and treatment and all the details!
Rectal Course

What does it take to have a healthy practice?
We need to talk about the difference between Revenue and Profit. One good way to think about this is to ask - would you rather have a clinic that brings in $1,000,000 per year or $100,000 per year? The answer?
It depends on your PROFIT!
Revenue does not equal profit; the sooner we recognize this and put more import on profit the healthier our businesses would be.
This is also important for employees to understand! You need to have at least a basic idea of how the business side works to have constructive conversations with your employer.
In this 'sode we go over the difference between revenue and profit, how to stay profitable as a company and how to understand the finances of your business. Whether you're an employer, a solopreneur or an employee, this 'sode is going to drop some knowledge bombs!
In this case report we go through a complex pelvic pain patient who had been getting treatment for over 10 years before coming to the PelvicSanity Out of Town Program.
Her symptoms included bladder pain, urinary urgency/frequency (30+ times per day) and burning vaginal pain.
She had been diagnosed with IC and tried all the typical medical management pieces (oral medications, nerve blocks, bladder instillations, etc.) as well as to multiple physical therapists.
The biggest missing piece? Rectal evaluation and treatment.
In over 10 years of going to multiple practitioners, no one had ever done a rectal exam! On the initial evaluation we reproduced some of her major symptoms and rectal treatment became a staple of her treatment during her out of town program.
Even though there weren't any obvious "better do rectal" signs! Check out the full 'sode for all the details and what we found!
Rectal Course
That's why we're going to be coming out with a true Rectal Course (Join the Wait List here to be the first to hear about it) to help more pelvic PTs understand rectal and how to implement it into their practice for better clinical outcomes.

For just about every PT, documentation is the bane of our existence. None of us went to PT school because we loved paperwork! We just want to help patients, but documentation adds up to a huge portion of our careers. It's probably the top reason for burnout, frustration at the office and conflict between employers and employees.
So why are we actually documenting the way we are? And, more importantly, how do we cut down on that time to get more of our lives back!
Spending just a few minutes thinking about how to streamline your paperwork can literally save you years of time - in this 'sode we dive into exactly how to do that!

Rectal evaluation and treatment can often be the missing piece, especially for a complex patient, but we talk with so many patients who aren't even aware it's an option. In this podcast, we dive into why!
We debunk many of the myths around rectal treatment, including:
- You can access everything vaginally "well enough"
- We don't do rectal because patients are apprehensive
- Rectal is "more invasive"
- If I learn rectal treatment techniques I'll need to treat men
- Rectal is only for 'obvious' issues like constipation or coccyx pain
Rectal is one of the most overlooked treatment techniques, often because we either aren't comfortable with our own skills or we're not comfortable having a conversation about it with patients.
Rectal Course
That's why we're going to be coming out with a true Rectal Course (Join the Wait List here to be the first to hear about it) to help more pelvic PTs understand rectal and how to implement it into their practice for better clinical outcomes.

About Us
Nicole and Jesse Cozean founded PelvicSanity Physical Therapy together in 2016. It grew quickly into one of the largest cash-based physical therapy practices in the country.
Why does our goal seem to be to kick patients out of our practice the moment we can? Is this really what's best for patients, or is this urge coming from somewhere else?
In this 'sode, we dive into this "discharge mindset" and see where it really originates (insurance companies) and whether it's actually helping patients (it's not).
If it's so easy to teach a patient to "be their own PT" in four visits, why did we spend three years in school?
Can you imagine another profession saying the things we say?
- The lawyer, before your trial: "Just another visit or two and you'll be able to write your own opening and closing statements!"
- The mechanic: "I'll change your oil for you this time, but then I'm going to show you how to do it so you never have to come in again."
- The dentist: "Here's a self-care tool for cleaning your own teeth, I hope I never see you again"
- The hairdresser: "You know, you really could cut your own hair..."
This attitude often starts in PT school, but it originates with insurance companies. And we're duped into pretending it's for the patient's benefit!
Why are we working so hard to save insurance companies money? Our patients pay (often exorbitantly) for their insurance benefits and we try not to use them!
Your patient wants expert level care (that's why they're in your office) and has the right to decide for themselves - based on your honest clinical opinion - when to come in! It's that simple.

Are packages right for pelvic PT? We dive into it for this 'sode!
We hear from a lot of orthopedic cash practices about the importance of selling packages to patients. Purported benefits include longer plans of care, upfront cash and increased compliance.
But are those applicable at all in Pelvic PT? Or are they just trying to cover up a clinical problem - a lack of patient buy-in - with a business solution.
We go through the pros and cons of selling packages, give you our opinion and some helpful tips if you do decide package deals fit your practice. Check it out!

This is a great question that we first heard from Guy Raz (How I Built This book). Once we did, the light bulb went on!!
Scary is subjective. It's stepping into the unknown. Feeling butterflies when you push the 'publish' button. Starting a business.
Dangerous is objectively, well....dangerous. It's a decision that can cause harm that can't be undone.
Many times we feel like something is dangerous, when it's really just scary.
If we start our own business and it doesn't work out, will it ruin our life? Probably not.
This thought was liberating when starting PelvicSanity. If it didn't work out, I'd just go back and find another job working for someone else. I'd literally be in the same place I began. Starting PelvicSanity was scary, but it wasn't dangerous.
What was dangerous? Being in the same job I didn't love 10 years later. It was putting a strain on my relationships and my love of our profession. STAYING PUT was the danger, but it wasn't scary.
So what's scaring you? That scared feeling is usually the tickle that tells you it's something worth doing.

In this 'sode we discuss how to enlarge the pie instead of fighting over your slice, how the more pelvic PTs there are the better (yes, really!) and how we've managed it with so many clinics within a few miles of our own.

How do we stop chasing symptoms and get to the underlying "why" for our patients?
In fact, usually there's not a one, single 'why' - it's a combination of different factors.
That's why we developed the 'Why' Pie Chart - it helps us as physical therapists understand the different factors and explain it to our patients. Download your copy here!

There's (obviously) a lot going into running a business! In this 'sode, we identify the four main roles in every pelvic PT business....and you're likely only trained for one of them!
This is why it can be frustrating and challenging to make the leap to owning your own business.
It's also one of the reasons it's hard (though definitely not impossible) to start your own business with just a few years of clinical experience in pelvic health.
Learn more about the pitfalls and how to recognize the four roles within your business!

What do you really believe about how pelvic PT should be practiced? Have you gotten clear with yourself?
When we first start out what we believe is heavily shaped by the courses we've taken and our mentors (if we have them!).
But as we grow and gain experience we need to clarify what WE actually believe about how pelvic PT should be practiced.
That's why the first module we do in the Pelvic PT Essentials online course is all about your Ethos. It dictates how you practice, how you market, everything about what it means to be treated by you.
Those 'sode helps you dive into and get clear on what you believe. Let us know what you find out!

Have you ever thought about the difference between mentorship and coaching? We hadn't....until a few months ago.
This lesson applies in both the clinical and business realms.
Mentorship is wisdom. It helps you grow in confidence, competence and problem-solving. A mentor can easily be someone outside of your specialty or niche that helps you see the big picture.
Coaching is tactics. It's knowledge. It's the specific skills and resources you need. A coach needs to fully understand your specialty (field, sport, whatever it is).
In both clinical skills and business, we need both!
Clinically, we need coaches and courses (which are coaching). But we also need bigger-picture thinking to understand how to apply those skills (to use the tools in our toolbox!).
The same is true in business. We need specific skills and tactics, but without the wisdom to know how to apply them we are going to struggle.
In this 'sode we dive into the difference between coaching and mentoring and how both matter when you're building a business - check it out!

"How long until I get better?" "I don't know if I'm making enough progress." "How much longer is this going to take?"
These are some of the toughest questions we have to answer as pelvic PTs. And if we don't have a framework for how we think about treatment, these can be really difficult to answer!
But in this 'sode we go through the 4 Phases of Treatment. This is a way for you to organize your plan of care and communicate it with patients to keep their trust and buy-in throughout the process.
This also helps if you're getting a lot of 'self-discharges', when symptoms have improved enough but you don't really feel like the patient is finished.
This framework actually comes out of the online Pelvic PT Essentials course, where we go into each of these phases in more depth. But hopefully this overview gets you thinking about what phase your patient is in and how you are communicating it with them!

Wondered how to get more buy-in from patients? Have patients who just 'don't get it' or who are 'non-compliant?'
One of our favorite frameworks comes from Gretchin Rubin, who developed the Four Tendencies. They're all about how we all respond to both internal and external expectations.
We discuss this in greater detail in the Communications module of the Pelvic PT Essentials, but how you communicate with your patients is hugely important. This framework is a good way to evaluate how you're changing your style to suit each patient. Because...it's not about us!

2020 has been a tough year for so many, but we wanted to look back at some of the "Coronavirus Blessings" that many of us also experienced.
We've also talked to many pelvic PTs across the country who have used this 'great pause' as motivation to do something different....starting your own business, beginning a side hustle, growing in your current role, or something new entirely!
In this 'sode we pop some Thanksgiving champagne, talk about some (really!) random gratitudes and discuss some of the science behind gratitude.
Whatever your holidays look like this year, wishing you all a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Often we'll have a patient come in and tell us right when their symptoms started. Sometimes they'll even have an exact date! But is this really accurate?
In this 'sode we dive into how to get to the 'real' onset of your patient's pelvic floor issues and help them realize there may be a lot more going on than they realize!
This helps you get better buy-in and establishes credibility and helps them (and you!) realize this might not be a 'quick-fix!'

"What's the evidence for that?"
While we can strive as a profession to be evidence-based, there's major limitations to what we know (and can know). In physical therapy in general, and especially in our specialty,
Would we actually want to live in a world where everything we did was truly "evidence based?" That would completely change our profession....and likely not for the better!
Check out our thoughts on what "evidenced based" really means and why we need to dig deeper than just those buzzwords!

Nicole and Jesse Cozean founded PelvicSanity Physical Therapy together in 2016. It grew quickly into one of the largest cash-based physical therapy practices in the country.
They believe every pelvic physical therapist should find a position they love and feel confident in treating even the most complex patients. They started Pelvic PT Rising to provide clinical and business resources to pelvic PTs to raise the level of our profession.
We work all day - for both patients and in business - solving problems.
But we rarely take the time to prevent problems before they arise.
In this podcast we challenge you clinically, in business and in life to think about how we can be proactive and 'move upstream'.
This is a great 'sode, no matter where you are in your career - check it out!

In this case report, the patient presented with classic IC-like symptoms. Pelvic pain, urinary urgency/frequency and painful intercourse.
In working with her over the course of several months, we resolved these issues. This is where many PTs would have automatically discharged her!
But we wanted to get to the underlying 'why', and that's where her case report gets interesting. Check it out!

Want a better relationship with the people you work with?
We've been on both sides: the employer and the employee. It's like a coach and a ref - they're watching the same game but seeing completely different things. It's a different perspective - and that's ok!
The first thing to really assess? "Is this person an asshole?"
Not kidding! You might be working with an asshole; in that case the rules are different.
But if you aren't, then we need to do a better job of understanding each other's perspectives and having a little grace. We won't always see eye to eye, but we can have open lines of communication and respect each other's positions!

In this 'sode, we examine the arguments against routinely doing internal with patients who have pelvic floor symptoms and ask what it really means to be a "pelvic PT."
Our baseline philosophy is that anyone who calls themselves a pelvic PT should be routinely evaluating and treating the pelvic floor internally.
Of course, this doesn't apply to patients who don't give consent, children and any others who internal is not appropriate.
But patients deserve to know what to expect from someone calling themselves a "Pelvic PT."
Agree, disagree? Let us know!

In this episode we dive into 'lead-gens"; what they are, how they work and how most pelvic PTs are making it HARDER to get new patients because of them!
For those of you not familiar with this buzzword, lead generators are (usually) free pieces of content you give to potential customers in return for their contact information. These can be e-books, exclusive videos or anything else you can convince someone is valuable.
They do have a place, but they are being chronically misused and misunderstood. And many pelvic PTs are driving AWAY traffic with their lead-gens and actually making it HARDER for patients to schedule!
We get a bit fired up on this topic - check it out!

In this latest case report we work with a woman with genuine pudendal nerve entrapment (extremely rare!) who had been to three other pelvic PTs before seeing us at PelvicSanity.
We discuss the challenges she faced, why she felt one of her PTs was just "chasing symptoms", and how we answer the tough question "How long until I get better?"
Do your patients know their plan? Where they are in the Phases of Treatment?

The promise of "passive income." Being able to reach people beyond your own walls. The chance to diversify your income.
There's a lot of reasons to like the idea of online courses....but are online courses more sizzle than steak?
In this episode we go through pros and cons of making an online course, the challenges you'll run into, the reason everyone's online course looks so successful, and the questions to ask yourself before putting one together.

I have a patient who has __________......
IC. Endo. Vulvodynia. Pudendal Neuralgia. Vaginismus. Dyspareunia. Chronic Prostatitis.
Why do all of our patient descriptions start off like this?
Do we really care about their medical diagnosis? Do we treat patients any differently if they are diagnosed with IC or with vulvodynia?
In this episode, we explore medical diagnoses and what they mean (and don't mean) for how we treat patients.

Greedy. Elitist. Might be great for California, but could never work in my community. Unethical.
Those in the model love it, but there's a lot of criticism in certain circles about "cash physical therapy."
In this episode we explore the ethics behind cash-based and insurance-based physical therapy and address the most common criticisms.
We live and work in a highly imperfect medical system. All of us - regardless of our model - have to somehow deal with those imperfects to try and provide the best possible care for our patients.
So let's save words like "unethical" for where they really are warranted and understand the benefits and limitations of each model.

Would you send a family member or close friend to your clinic?
Over the years, we've had several pelvic PTs and physicians send their family members to us - even if they'd never referred us another patient!
So.....gut check time.
If you work for someone else - are you confident enough in your skills and in the environment where you work you'd recommend someone you care about come in for treatment?
If you run your own program or clinic, are you providing the type of care you would expect for your own family members?
There can be a lot of reasons why you might not be - we dive into those in this episode - but that's a fundamental question we all need to wrestle with!

What you wear to work shouldn't matter. But it does.
You'll be judged by your patient before you even open your mouth.
We all want to be comfortable and express our own style. And we should be able to do that!
But we also need to understand how our choices affect how our patients view us and whether it helps or hurts our ability to get them better.
Trust me, I never thought I'd be playing the fashion police! But here are thoughts on dress codes (ugh!) and the different options we have in how we dress as pelvic PTs.

Do your patient's ever make life choices you disagree with?
All. The. Time.
Does that mean we can't help them get better?
Absolutely not.
We are not the arbiter of our patient's life choices. We've had avid bicyclists with pudendal nerve irritation who are adamant they won't stop riding. New mothers who want to get back to running before they are truly ready. Women with painful intercourse who feel they can't stop having intercourse with their partner.
So what do you do if your patient is making life choices you disagree with? In this final episode of this series, we dive into both the theory and specific examples.
"All I care about is that they understand their choice" - Nicole

There seems to be a lot of anxiety around data security, privacy and HIPAA - it's one of the questions we get asked a lot!
You can spend hours or days getting sucked into online forums, articles and opinions.
But what do you actually need to worry about?
In this episode we go through data security, whether you even are covered by HIIPA (you may not be!) and what we really need to do in order to protect patient privacy.

Have you ever explained away a patient not getting better because they were 'non-compliant' with their home program?
We've all been there - it's tempting, but I want us to get the negative, judgmental term of 'non-compliant' completely out of our vocabulary.
If your patient isn't doing what you're asking, it's on US to take responsibility and get them better. They may not understand the importance of what you're asking. They may not understand how to do what you're asking. They may feel overwhelmed, or simply not have enough time. Or they may be relying on YOU and your sessions to get better.
I'm not saying we shouldn't impress upon our patients the importance of their home program, but we can't just dismiss them if they aren't doing exactly what we ask. We need to work with them to understand why (there's the 'why' again!) and find a way to help them reach their goals, regardless of how 'compliant' they end up being.

How do you find balance?
Between work - whether you own your own place or are employed by someone else - and home life. How to maintain a social life, exercise and take time for everything we know we need.
Sometimes it feels impossible. And that's ok!
"Work-Life Balance" is an unachievable ideal. It's something we can strive for, but not a place we can stay. And sometimes even that idea makes us miserable.
In this episode we dive into that idea of balance; how there are different seasons to life, balance means something different for everyone, and don't confuse hating life at work with a problem with balance!

Ever have a patient who wasn't in for the 'right reasons?' (Yes, a Bachelor reference, y'all!).
Maybe a patient who cared more about the appearance of their stomach than about the function of their core or pelvic floor with a diastasis?
Or someone just wants to get off their medications? Or to be able to get back to riding a bike? Or wants to have pain-free anal sex? Those might not be our reasons, but we have to meet patients where they are.
There's a ton of different reasons a patient might finally decide to come to pelvic PT. We can't put our own value judgments on their 'why.'

What predicts the success of a pelvic PT business?
There's a TON of different factors that go into success. In a recent survey, we looked at the answers provided by more than 130 business owners to see the patterns.
We saw the same struggles - challenges marketing, bringing patients in the door, feeling overwhelmed or knowing where to start.
But we also saw two factors that were indicative of success. One that is in your control, and one that isn't!

How much time they are spending each week, how far they are driving?
What about how they spend their time at home doing their home program?
This is another hang-up that can get in the way of providing the best possible care to our patients. In this episode we dive into some of the common ways we try and act as the guardian of our patient's time.....often to their detriment.

Do you know what phase of business you're in?
(Here's a hint: Most pelvic PT owners owners are stuck in Phase 2.)
This is critical to know for your practice. Your goals, your role and your outcomes change depending on what Phase you're in. Understanding this both helps you grow faster but also removes some of the anxiety around "am I doing things right?"
We dive into the different Phases of business in this episode. We discuss where you need to put your foot on the gas, and which phases you can just kind of coast in. Figure out where you are, so you can know where you need to go!

Have you ever let your own assumptions or hang-ups about money affect your patient care?
We aren't the arbiter of our patient's finances! It's our job to provide our honest clinical opinion.
That doesn't mean we don't take their limitations into account. Of course we do! But we DON'T let our own assumptions get in the way.
Learn how to remove your own biases about money from your conversations with patients and allow them to make informed decisions about their own health.

Nicole is always asking the next question....."why"?
In this episode, we dive into the different reasons for starting your own business.
We had sent out a business survey to all our members who are either have or are interested in starting their own practice. We asked why, and got a lot of great answers. Most of them fell squarely into one of six different reasons.
When we looked at ourselves, we could see some of those same reasons that we started PelvicSanity four years ago.
So get clear on your WHY. Why did you (or do you want to) start your own thing? That reason will help guide all your decisions and how you go forward.

Think of a patient who wasn't ready to do something. To come to PT, to take a medication, to commit to their own health.
Just because they've committed to coming to physical therapy does not mean they're ready to do everything you say or make major life changes.
In Part 1 of this series, we talk about how you aren't the arbiter of your patient's WHEN.
We don't get to decide when they are ready. And we have to be ok with that.
We can still give them our honest, direct clinical advice - but we don't get to dictate their decisions. And the sooner we can accept that, the better care we can give.

About Us

They believe every pelvic physical therapist should find a position they love and feel confident in treating even the most complex patients. They started Pelvic PT Rising to provide clinical and business resources to pelvic PTs to raise the level of our profession.
Are you putting unrealistic expectations on your patient? Your patient should never feel like they're "running out of time!"
In this episode, we dive into a case report from a patient who contacted us after being treated for vaginismus at another facility. There's a lot to unpack in her letter, but it's a really interesting - and sometimes heartbreaking - patient perspective.
Being able to prognosticate or forecast for your patient is such an important skill! We devote basically an entire module of the Pelvic PT Essentials course to this ability.
If you give a patient unrealistic expectations - either because of your own mistake, because your basing the number of visits on insurance reimbursement, or any other reason - you can create the feelings of "guilt and shame" this patient experienced.
The opposite of this is creating a partnership, and we love the way this patient explains what she was - and wasn't - looking for with her pelvic PT.

Are you getting in the way of your patient's success?
Despite our best intentions, we do this ALL THE TIME.
We need to understand how our own biases, experiences, and attitudes are impacting our patients.
We got really excited about going through this - we're going to be spending the next 6 episodes talking about different ways we get in our own way, and how to break that cycle.
We need to give our honest, direct clinical advice to the patient. If they can't follow those recommendations - for any of the different reasons we dive into - then we absolutely can tailor the plan to them. But don't let your assumptions and biases dictate the care your patient receives!

METRICS - If you're familiar with the word, you probably hate it!
Metrics is an overused, misunderstood buzzword for measurable things about your business. What should you be tracking? What should you care about?
Every business generates an INCREDIBLE amount of information. At PelvicSanity, we track close to 100 different metrics each month!! It can be overwhelming to separate the sound from all the noise.
In this Business Shorty episode, we break it down for you to give you the three metrics you really need to be tracking in your business. This are the 'oil lights' for your company; they aren't the only data you'll need, but they're definitely the most important to be tracking consistently.

Marketing your services is a huge challenge, whether you run your own place or are part of a larger program. You have to let others know about what you do and how you can help.
Traditionally in the PT world, that has meant going to physicians and asking for referrals. But is that the best way?
In this episode we dive into how marketing works in different settings, from large hospital programs to small, cash-based clinics and everything in between.
Find out how to have a great physician marketing program - and why you don't even need one!

Coronavirus updates are back! This is a wide-ranging discussion, and we hit some important (and some not-so-important) topics. The title comes from a conversation we had to have with our staff on how to tell patients to properly wear their mask - anyone else dealing with that?
We discuss:
- The future of telehealth in PT
- How to handle cleaning breaks in the day
- Trying to have fun at the office during Covid
- How to tell your patient to wear your mask properly
- The balance of empathy and authority in treatment
- What Nicole feels about haircuts in the time of Covid'

Are you perpetuating any of these IC myths with your patients?
There's a ton of misinformation out there about interstitial cystitis (that's why we wrote the book!). Despite that, many physicians continue to ignore their own AUA guidelines and fail to recommend pelvic PT and other interventions that can help.
As pelvic PTs, we need to know what our patients are hearing and the truth to get the best outcomes for patients. In Part 1, we go through the first 4 myths of IC and provide the truth behind each!

A question we often get asked in the Huddle is about how to have a good meeting with a physician. What studies should you bring? How do you explain pelvic PT? How do you ask for referrals?
In this episode, we try to turn the traditional method of marketing to physicians upside down.
We strongly believe in approaching physicians as equals. We are the musculoskeletal experts and have just as much to bring to a conversation. We don't need to be buying lunches or begging for referrals or bringing reams of paper to 'justify' what we do.
This episode dives into how to use the same skills we've developed with our patients - connecting with them, finding common ground, and open communication - to have the best physician meeting you've ever had.

Controversy Alert! How do we make the maximum difference for our patients without creating dependency in patients?
One of the biggest issues we see in the field is the tendency to discharge patients too early. Their symptoms may be reduced, or their insurance benefits may run out, but the underlying 'why' hasn't been resolved. Eventually - whether it's a week or a month later - something else will happen and their symptoms will return. And then they either need to come back or they don't....finding someone else to help, having a surgery, or just feeling like they need to live with their symptoms.
We dive into the question of how to create resiliency in patients without making them feel dependent on pelvic PT. We need to see a future for patients they can't yet see for themselves, and help them meet goals they didn't even think they'd be able to reach.

In the last episode, we went through an overview of the different types of business structures in pelvic PT - here, we pull back the curtain on why we decided to go cash-based for PelvicSanity.
We go through what a 'cash-based' practice truly means, what it looks like in the day-to-day and how we believe it's the best option for our patients. There's no one 'right' answer on how to structure a business, but we hope this gives you an insight into our reasoning.
The cash-based model offers some unique benefits for patients, employees and businesses, and we think it's well-suited to pelvic health.

Money is an uncomfortable topic for many of us. In fact, we may even dread the money conversations with our employers or employees, our significant others and family members, and even splitting the check at dinner.
But in order to really understand our profession, we need to understand the financial foundation of our system. It affects all of us, whether you're a business owner, a future business owner, or an employee. At heart, this is about how we provide value to patients in return for their money - no matter how complicated we might make it.
In this episode we dive into the different types of practices: insurance-based, out-of-network, and completely out-of-network (or 'cash') practices. Each have their pros and cons for both us as physical therapists and our patients. And in a follow-up episode we'll reveal our own thoughts on the business side and what we decided to do for PelvicSanity.

In Part 1 of this case report we discussed the telehealth evaluation of a patient presenting with a vaginismus diagnosis.
A few weeks later, we had the opportunity to actually work hands-on with her after the Coronavirus restrictions were lifted.
Getting to work with her hands-on after doing a remote consultation was eye-opening. It really showed the limitations and challenges of telehealth, and that if we're going to continue incorporating remote visits as a regular part of treatment going forward we're going to have to drastically improve our online process.
Hear about what we picked up in person that we couldn't get over a video call, how the initial hypothesis completely changed and why we didn't feel like she really even had vaginismus at all!

How do we actually do telehealth? We've spent a lot of time talking about converting patients to telehealth, but we've heard a lot less about how to provide as much value as possible for patients remotely.
In this two-part series, we examine the interesting case of a patient who had a vaginismus diagnosis and several other symptoms. Her initial consultation was done via telehealth during the Coronavirus shutdown, and then we were able to evaluate her in-person once we re-opened the clinic.
In this first part, we go through her initial evaluation. We discuss how to find clues in what patients say, what to pick up on remotely and 'how to let your patient drive, but you steer.'

While Coronavirus has obviously been a huge challenge - in so many different ways - we wanted to focus today's episode on the positives that have come out of it.
So many of you have let us know you're thinking about starting your own thing. Whether it's a side hustle, your own business, or just finding a job, the forced interruption of Coronavirus has caused us all to rethink our careers and lives.
We aren't any different. There were a few ways we were falling short at PelvicSanity and several projects we knew were important - like this podcast! - that we hadn't been able to focus on.
In this episode we talk about how to get clear on your long-term goals, making the decisions along the way that much easier.

Ever struggled to write something - a handout, a blog post, or even a book - for patients? It can be hard to convey exactly what you want, especially without resorting to jargon or concepts patients don't understand (or care about!).
In this episode we demystify how to write for patients, helping get clear on your audience and message to communicate better. Your handouts will be more effective and your blog posts will be more read.
We also talk about the writing and publication of the IC Solution. We go into the publishing process, talk about how much we made on the book (spoiler - not much!) and even tell the untold story of how the book was actually written.

With so many choices, finding the right con-ed course can be overwhelming. And for every course you take, it means you can't take something else. So how do you progress?
Do you simply go though a full series with Herman & Wallace or the APTA? Try online courses? Find something from your favorite instructor, or take something because it's close to you?
In this podcast, we go over how Nicole teaches our staff and those she mentors which courses to take. We discuss how to find the right course, how to incorporate what you learn with what you already know, and why you should never take a course just for con-ed credit.
We developed the Pelvic PT Essentials course to bridge the gap between the basic pelvic PT courses and how to actually implement those in the clinic. The goal is to help pelvic PTs be more confident in treating, understand their personal Ethos, and learn how to manage complex patients all the way through a plan of care.

How do you build the kind of relationship with your patients that leads them to trust you in uncertain times? It's no longer a hypothetical question!
As we begin seeing patients in-person again, it's made us freshly grateful for our patients and the relationships we have with them. In this special Coronavirus edition of the podcast, we discuss how you can build trust with your patients - whether you are a business owner or a staff PT.
There are two main factors we've identified that create that trusting relationship, and they have been crucial in ensuring patients are comfortable as we return to in-person visits.
You'll also get the update on how the re-opening is going - what has worked well and what we're going to need to adjust as we ramp back up to seeing patients in-person.

It is always a challenge to get buy-in and understanding from your patient. Without these, they are much more likely to drop off your schedule and not see the results they need from physical therapy.
Just a few changes in your communication techniques can increase buy-in and give you the tools to better serve your patients. In this episode, we go through three tips for communication that Nicole discusses in the Pelvic PT Essentials course and how they can dramatically improve your patient relationship.

Many pelvic PTs aren't happy or comfortable with how their employers have handled this crisis. Starting a side hustle can be a great way to rekindle your passion for the field, add some extra financial security for your family and take back control over your career.
In this episode, we go over how and why to start a side hustle. Getting clear on your motivation early on is crucial to finding 'success' (whatever that means for you) in your project. We discuss how to avoid ethical dilemmas with your current employer and ways to bring in extra income that you control.
And there's a simple mindset shift that will help your side hustle realize it's full potential!

About Us
Nicole and Jesse Cozean founded PelvicSanity Physical Therapy together in 2016. It grew quickly into one of the largest cash-based physical therapy practices in the country.
They believe every pelvic physical therapist should find a position they love and feel confident in treating even the most complex patients. They started Pelvic PT Rising to provide clinical and business resources to pelvic PTs to raise the level of our profession.
We've all had those patients who see significant improvement early on, but then plateau and aren't reaching their full goals. While there can be many reasons for this, one of them can just be the way that you're communicating with them. You can be doing everything right physically, but if your patient doesn't understand the process they can be feeling frustrated and checked-out.
In this episode, we dive into a fascinating case report from a remote consultation with an IC patient who had been seen at PelvicSanity. Usually, we can only guess at what the physical therapist was thinking based on what they tried - in this case, we had her notes on hand because one of our team had been working with her!
Our staff PT hadn't missed anything in her initial evaluation or plan of care, and had gotten the patient substantially better. But because the patient didn't understand exactly what and why they were working in certain areas, she had lost faith in the process when she stopped seeing progress at every session.
It's a great reminder that you have to be constantly communicating with the patient, helping them understand the process and getting their buy-in - even if you're doing all the right things!

All of us will eventually have to confront the challenge of reopening or seeing patients while still dealing with the Coronavirus pandemic. There's a lot of uncertainty about how to best serve our patients in this time. We need a thoughtful process to balance our responsibilities to our patients, our staff and our community.
In a special Coronavirus edition of the podcast, we discuss the challenges of re-opening and our thought process for when is the right time. We cover how to ask your patients whether they are ready to come back, getting buy-in from the staff, developing safety procedures, and what we're doing with the money from our Paycheck Protection Program loan.
Whether you're an owner or an employee, we hope this will give you some insight into our thought process during this time and the challenges we are all facing together with in-person treatment.
State of Pelvic Health in Coronavirus Survey
In the episode we mention a survey we sent out to better understand the state of our field during this time. We've already gotten more than 150 responses, and will be sharing the results with you once they all come in, but if you haven't yet, we would love if you could take a few minutes to fill it out here: State of Pelvic PT Survey.

Learn why the phrase "it's not about you" is so common around the PelvicSanity clinic. It applies in a lot of areas:
- When your patient is saying something wrong and you're making a decision on whether to challenge them
- When your patient is "non-compliant" with their home exercises (we hate that term)
- When you're pitching your specialty to another clinician
- When you're marketing to prospective patients
- When you're interacting with your boss or employees
We discuss a tricky patient case and how to build a rapport with your patient before challenging what they say. If you're feeling the urge to be right, it's probably not worth it, but there are times when you need to push back.

Talking about Coronavirus! Discussing the decision to close the clinic, balancing our obligations to patients, our staff and our community.
In this episode, we talk about what we should pivot to during this time. We talk about why we're not having a kneejerk reaction into telehealth or trying to "convert" patients. Instead, we're deciding what we need to do for the long-term health of the clinic and making sure the time we're putting in now is valuable down the road.
Hear our thought process for going through this crisis and how we suggest using this time to come out stronger on the other end.
