Trailblazer in Pelvic Health - PelviCon Speaker Series with Holly Herman

August 25, 2025

She’s a true legend. A trailblazer. And one of the people who made it possible for pelvic health to even exist as a specialty.

In this PelviCon Speaker Series episode, we sit down with Holly Herman to reflect on her 50 years in pelvic health, the challenges of the early days, and the lessons she continues to teach the next generation of pelvic rehab providers.

We cover:

The fight for recognition of pelvic health inside the APTA and medical community
Advocating for pregnant and postpartum women as an underserved population
Mentorship, imposter syndrome, and why we always need to keep learning
Her transition to treating male pelvic health patients (and the challenges that came with it)
Boundaries, chaperones, and how to handle inappropriate patient behavior
The importance of addressing sexual health in every patient interaction
Why pelvic health is truly lifespan care — from pregnancy through elder care
How Holly has avoided burnout across decades in the field
