I know it can feel really intense to spend $1600 on a weekend continuing education course. For many of us as acupuncturists, $1600 is going to support our family and our practice, and spending that money without a guaranteed return on investment can really push boundaries and comfort zones.

At The Pelvic Acu, we believe that understanding both Eastern and Western approaches to pelvic health makes us stronger practitioners and better advocates for our clients. That’s why we’ve created another free mini-course, this time focused on the pessary—a non-surgical medical device that can provide support for those experiencing pelvic organ prolapse or incontinence.

In Episode 3 of The Pelvic Bowl: Deep Conversations with The Pelvic Acu, host Dr. Krystal Lynn Couture, DPT, LAcsits down with Dr. Andrea Orvieto, L.Ac., DACM, FABORM, founder of SoFla Acupuncture & Wellness in Hallandale Beach, Florida. What unfolds is an inspiring and deeply personal conversation about the path to pelvic care, the integration of acupuncture with pelvic floor therapy, and the profound ways these practices change patients’ lives.

Pelvic Care Case Study Care Planning is a grand rounds style live webinar. The concept is such that practitioners bring cases to the table (or I bring some from my own experience) including the biomedical and TCM diagnoses, case history and any other pertinent client information. We'll discuss the most important components of treatment including home programs, acupuncture points, and complementary treatments.

Clients who are curious about the pelvic floor and associated dysfunctions as well as those who present with pelvic floor patterns can really benefit from a little bit of understanding and some education. Clients who understand their pelvic floor function have a much greater opportunity to participate in the healing and leaning into the support you’re offering. 

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.
