We’re excited to welcome Paige Genova back to the podcast!
Paige Genova is a licensed occupational therapist specializing in pelvic floor therapy, all about whole-person wellness in pelvic health. Paige is a fellow mama, clinician, and business owner/founder of Vital Pelvic Health in Ohio.
In today’s conversation, we explore a cutting-edge approach: pain reprocessing therapy. As the only pelvic health OT certified in this technique, Paige shares her unique perspective on helping patients overcome not only pain, but also the fear that keeps them stuck in chronic symptom cycles.
Pain reprocessing therapy is grounded in the science of neuroplasticity - the brain and nervous system’s ability to change and adapt. What makes this approach so powerful is its simplicity and compassion for patients, so they can reclaim their lives and move forward without fear.
Chronic pelvic pain can be isolating, scary, and deeply misunderstood, but it doesn’t HAVE to be. Make sure to come back for even MORE wisdom from Paige in our upcoming part 2 episode - you won’t want to miss it!
In today’s episode, we’re covering:
- Exploring how chronic pain treatment is evolving + what pain reprocessing therapy actually is
- Taking an integrative approach to chronic pain by understanding the nervous system’s role in chronic symptoms
- Helping patients understand that their healing journey will look different than expected + won’t be a straight line to “pain-free”
- Confidently treating patients with neuroplasticity as pelvic health therapists + breaking down what neuroplasticity means
- Real-world examples of how neuroplasticity develops + how it shows up in chronic pelvic pain
- The fascinating concept of “mind over pain” & the incredible power of the brain to heal
