A powerful trauma-informed question came up in supervision recently:

What do you do when you notice a client moving into freeze or shutdown during session?

When the nervous system shifts into protection mode, pushing forward with our plan rarely helps.

Often the most therapeutic move is to pause, re-orient to the present moment, and help rebuild a sense of safety and choice.

These moments can offer rich clinical insight.

Debriefing what felt like too much, too fast, or too soon can guide how we titrate future experiences to support confidence and recovery.

We explore many nervous system regulation strategies inside the Trauma-Informed Pelvic Health Practitioner Program.

Pelvic health is not a niche conversation sitting off to the side of OT practice.

It is already woven throughout the work many OTs are doing every single day ā€” in mental health, neuro, pediatrics, chronic pain, geriatrics, acute care, and beyond.

The question is not whether OT belongs in pelvic health.

The question is whether we are recognizing the opportunities already sitting in front of us to take these conversations further.

Iā€™ve just been catching up on the recent conversation around internal pelvic floor assessment and whether it should be considered the gold standard of care.

It got me thinking.

In this video, I share why I donā€™t believe we should talk about an internal pelvic floor assessment the same way we talk about assessing a shoulder or a knee.

Internal assessment is often an incredibly valuable clinical tool. But it is also a uniquely intimate and vulnerable assessment.

To me, trauma-informed care means having a nuanced conversation about its potential value while also acknowledging that meaningful progress can still be made through other approaches when someone isnā€™t ready, doesnā€™t consent, or an internal assessment isnā€™t clinically appropriate.

Prioritizing safety, autonomy, and readiness shouldnā€™t be considered sub-par care or obstacles to the gold standard, THIS SHOULD BE the gold standard of care.

For years, many Canadian OTs interested in pelvic health have been trying to figure this out on their own.

The Canadian Pelvic Health OT Collective was created to bring those conversations together.

Whether youā€™re a student, a clinician who is pelvic health curious, or an experienced pelvic health OT, weā€™d love to have you join us as we connect, support one another, and continue expanding the role of OT in pelvic health across Canada.

When prolapse symptoms flareā€¦
itā€™s not just physical.

Itā€™s the spiral.
And how we respond matters.

This is where OT fits beautifully.

At its core, Occupational Therapy is about lived experience.
Pelvic organ prolapse is often framed through anatomy. That isā€¦
whatā€™s seen, measured, and graded.
And yesā€¦ that matters.
But itā€™s only part of the picture.
Because what shapes someoneā€™s day-to-day experience of prolapse?
Thatā€™s where OT lives.
How it feels.
How itā€™s interpreted.
How it shows up in movement, routines, relationships, and identity.
When we zoom out beyond structure,
we open up far more ways to support meaningful change.
This isnā€™t outside of OT scope.
This is OT.
