On this episode of the Healthy Wealthy and Smart Podcast, I welcome Dr. Sarah Haag, Dr. Sandy Hilton and Dr. Jason Falvey for another installment all about sex. The was recorded live at CSM and we covered a wide range of topics including 50 Shades of Grey. Two of the four of us read the books…guess which two! Make sure to catch up on Part 1 and Part 2 and enjoy the show!

In this episode, we discuss:

-What’s normal female anatomy?

-Graded exposure for women’s sexual health

-Can interventions for sex be researched?

-Sex education for people with low back pain

-What you should and shouldn’t be inserting into the vagina

-And so much more!

 

For a lot of people in today’s society, there is almost no body part which escapes insecurity. Sandy believes the variety of human forms should be celebrated and genitalia is no different. Sandy reminds us that, “The normal human variability is as variable as noses.”

 

Patients may question whether they should continue sexual activity that is accompanied by chronic pain. Both Sandy and Sarah emphatically agree, “sex should never be painful,” adding, “if it doesn’t feel good, don’t do it.”

 

Many chronic pelvic pain patients may have adverse experiences with sex. Sarah finds that a graded exposure treatment plan which is sensitive to psychological associations and fears will lead to better outcomes. Sarah finds, “It’s really important to have something that the person doesn’t feel the need to protect against.”

 

For more information on the panel:

SARAH HAAG PT, DPT, MS, WCS CERT. MDT, RYT: Sarah graduated from Marquette University in 2002 with a Master’s of Physical Therapy. Sarah has pursued an interest in treating the spine, pelvis with a specialization in women’s and men’s health. Over the past 8 years, Sarah has seized every opportunity available to her in order to further her understanding of the human body, and the various ways it can seem to fall apart in order to sympathetically and efficiently facilitate a return to optimal function. Sarah was awarded the Certificate of Achievement in Pelvic Physical Therapy (CAPP) from the Section on Women’s Health. She went on to get her Doctorate of Physical Therapy and Masters of Science in Women’s Health from Rosalind Franklin University in 2008. In 2009 she was awarded a Board Certification as a specialist in women’s health (WCS). Sarah also completed a Certification in Mechanical Diagnosis Therapy from the Mckenzie Institute in 2010. Most recently, Sarah completed a 200 hour Yoga Instructor Training Program, and is now a Registered Yoga Instructor. Sarah plans to integrate yoga into her rehabilitation programs, as well as teach small, personalized classes.

Sarah looks at education, and a better understanding of the latest evidence in the field of physical therapy, as the best way to help people learn about their conditions, and to help people learn to take care of themselves throughout the life span.

 

SANDY HILTON PT, DPT, MS: Sandy graduated from Pacific University (Oregon) in 1988 with a Master of Science in Physical Therapy and a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Des Moines University in December 2013. She has worked in multiple settings across the US with neurologic and orthopaedic emphasis combining these with a focus in pelvic rehabilitation for pain and dysfunction since 1995. Sandy has teaches Health Professionals and Community Education classes on returning to function following back and pelvic pain, assisted with Myofascial Release education, and co-teaches Advanced Level Male Pelvic Floor Evaluation and Treatment. Sandy’s clinical interest is chronic pain with a particular interest in complex pelvic pain disorders for men and women. Sandy is also pursuing opportunities for collaboration in research into the clinical treatment of pelvic pain conditions.

Sandy brings science and common sense together beautifully to help people learn to help themselves.

 

JASON FALVEY PT, DPT, GCS, CEEAA: Jason is a board certified geriatric physical therapist with a strong interest in improving outcomes for both frail older adults and older adults with hospital-associated deconditioning. He has current funding from the Foundation for Physical Therapy (PODS 1 Award, 2015) and the Academy of Geriatric Physical Therapy to support his participation in ongoing research the use of a novel Progressive High Intensity Therapy (PHIT) training program on medically complex older adults after acute hospitalization. He also has funding from both the American Physical Therapy Association Health Policy and Administration Section and the Home Health Section to evaluate how physical therapists can reduce avoidable hospital readmissions. Lastly, Jason is collaborating with local long-term care providers to determine how physical functioning can be assessed and best managed to reduce rates of falls, ER visits, and hospitalization.
