Is internal evaluation the gold standard in pelvic health? We believe the answer is yes.
Lately, we've seen more clinicians claiming that internal pelvic floor evaluation isn't necessary—or isn't the gold standard of pelvic rehab. We don't think this is just another social media debate.
We think it's one of the most important conversations our profession needs to have.
We're going to be diving deep into this topic. But for Part 1, we discuss:
- Why this issue matters so much for the future of pelvic health
- What the pioneers of our profession fought to establish
- The strongest arguments against internal evaluation—and where we think they fall short
- Why "access to care" shouldn't mean lowering the standard of care
- Why extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence
(Also, the caveat we shouldn't need....Every internal evaluation should be clinically appropriate and performed only with informed patient consent. Of course.)
Instead, this episode asks a bigger question: What should the gold standard actually be for pelvic rehab?
