The Pelvic Floor Project
This podcast is for anyone with a pelvic floor. Pssst….. everyone has a pelvic floor. The pelvic floor is a group of muscles responsible for controlling our bodily functions. I refer to myself as a physiotherapist for embarrassing issues. I routinely help clients address symptoms like incontinence, prolapse, diastasis, pelvic pain, intimacy issues and the list goes on. A theme that stands out to me is how little we learn about our private parts and the muscles surrounding. This podcast is for you if you are interested in learning more about your body. Focused on the female, I cover topics pertinent to puberty, athletics, pregnancy, birth, postpartum recovery, menopause, surgery and so much more.I promise to share evidence based information through discussion with other health care experts in their field with the goal to showcase a holistic and empowering approach to taking care of the only body you will ever have. I hope you enjoy!

85. How persistent pain is related to the brain with psychotherapist Christie Uipi
In this episode, I sit down with Christie Uipi, a psychotherapist specializing in the treatment of chronic pain, anxiety and depression and the founder of The Better Mind Center to discuss:
- Pain is invisible and so are pelvic floor issues
- How pain works
- Why each person experiences pain uniquely
- Why sometimes pain goes away quickly and reasons why it persists
- Messages to patients who feel they go between many health care practioners
- Emotional and physical aspects of pain
- How physiotherapists and psychotherapists can work together
- What psychotherapy has to offer and the negative stigmas associated
- Personality traits that are common amongst people with persistent pain
Christie Uipi (she/her) is a psychotherapist specializing in the treatment of chronic pain, anxiety, and depression and the founder of The Better Mind Center. Christie has been a key collaborator on the development and research of the Pain Reprocessing Therapy treatment modality. She lectures nationally on psychotherapeutic interventions to treat chronic pain and is committed to cross-disciplinary collaboration between mental health and physical medicine. Christie is also a recovered chronic pain patient herself. The healing process was so profoundly transformational for the quality of her life that she has dedicated her career to supporting others through their recoveries.
