If you’d had acupuncture before, you might know that acupuncturists are often really good at moving the needle (pun intended) where other more traditional methods have failed. That’s because our outlook on the body is a little bit different than other healthcare practitioners. We see the body’s energetics, emotions and physicality. 

In Traditional Chinese Medicine the pelvis houses vital organs and plays a significant role in the body's overall balance and Qi flow. The TCM perspective on the pelvis is deeply rooted in the principles of Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, and the flow of Qi through the meridians of the body.

If you’re experiencing urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, pelvic pain, sexual dysfunction, prolapse or any other condition of the pelvic floor, you don’t need a research study to tell you that your life is impacted by your symptoms. But there’s some good news! Your acupuncturist might have the keys to help you!

You might have heard of Kegel exercises for your pelvic floor. You might have even heard of PT’s that work with the pelvic floor, but did you know that acupuncturists can support your pelvic health?

Long before becoming an acupuncturist, I became a PT and over time came to specialize in Pelvic Health, specifically dry needling of the pelvic floor and surrounding structures. I became an acupuncturist to go deeper into the spirit of the points and gain deep understanding of the organ system energetics. I fell in love with the impact a needle can make on a physical, emotional or energetic level.
