• 0:02
  Speaker 1: In the last 10 years, our field has gone from an unknown specialty to a household name.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: This brings unprecedented opportunities, but we need to rise up to meet them and give our patients the care that they deserve.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: In order to help others get better, we need to be better.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: This podcast will help you to become more confident with your patients, more successful in your practice or business and a leader in pelvic health, and we're going to have some fun along the way.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Join us as we rise together.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: We're Jesse and Nicole Cozine, founders of Pelvic Sanity Physical Therapy and the creators of the Pelvic PT Huddle, and this is Pelvic PT Rising.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Hey guys, welcome back to another episode of the Pelvic PT Rising podcast with, normally, jesse and Nicole Cozine, but today we have Jessica Rial of Southern Pelvic Health and co-founder of Pelvicon.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: We do not have Jesse here.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: We do not have Andrew here.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: It's Girls Only today on the podcast.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: How are you?
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: I'm so excited.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: I think I'm a nice villain because I got the Jessica and he's got the Jesse.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: That was an attempted a Jesse joke to get us going.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah right, I know it was also bad.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: It was just like how he would.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: It's perfect.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Yes, so you are on today because we are talking about all things freaking Pelvicon.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I know that all of you guys, if you are under a rock, you will not know about Pelvicon.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: If you have been paying attention to our Instagram either Jessica's or mine and Pelvicon's then you will know.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Pelvicon 2022 was awesome.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Pelvicon 2023 was awesome.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Pelvicon 2024 is going to be even awesome-er.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: If that's a word, let's go back, jess, and choose briefly what.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: How did Pelvicon come to be, briefly, and what was 2022 and 2023 like?
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Pelvicon is so special?
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: I think it is such a unique conference and I think the uniqueness and the magic of Pelvicon really stems from why Pelvicon was created to begin with.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: For Nicole and I, pelvicon is a passion project.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: It is something that is truly life-giving to us.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: I feel like we have to be careful sometimes because when we're working on Pelvicon, I think it's really easy for a one-hour call to turn into a four-hour call, because it's something we care deeply about.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Honestly, that's where it came from.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: We saw this need in the field.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: We saw that people needed community.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: We saw the field growing and exploding, yet feeling like sometimes that growth wasn't happening in a controlled way.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: And in a controlled way, what I mean by that is that we as a field weren't necessarily the ones driving what was happening with it and saw this as this opportunity for us to come together as a field, as a specialty, to truly drive where the growth is taking us, to unite to find the community that we crave, to challenge our practices, to be better, to raise the bar for what patients should expect when they come to see all of us, and to also prevent the burnout which is overwhelming in the medical field and in rehab professions as well.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Pelvicon just fills this really, really special role.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: I think that is where Pelvicon has become such an invigorating, inspiring, captivating thing for so many of the clinicians who have attended it and for us, too, as well.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I were excited.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: We're going to talk to you a little bit about the theme for 2024.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: This is going to be a Pelvicon drumroll, please.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: We're going to tell about the theme of 2024.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: But yeah, going back to 2022, I mean, I feel like that was just the first one.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: It was so exciting For you and I.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: It was like I was overwhelmed at the response at the people there, at the amazing speakers, and I just felt so excited for everybody that was there.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: We ended up being able to expand the number of people.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: We had 2023.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Our theme for 2023 was it starts with us, and I feel like that was a really great second year for us because it was something that I felt like.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I feel like, at the end of the day, we can say all of the things about we want to do better for our patients and be better and all the things, but at the end of the day, that really does start with us.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: It starts with us to be able to take care of ourselves, to take care of other people.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: It starts with us to be committed to learning.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: It starts with us to do more education to make sure that we are keeping up to date with all the latest technologies and all of the things about our rehab field.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: So we're really excited about Pelvicon 2023.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: The speakers brought the funk, brought the house down.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: We had people come in from Australia.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: We had Teran Hallam come in and just blew everybody's minds with a bunch of anatomy stuff.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: And now, my friends, pelvicon 2024, our third year in a row doing it is happening.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: So let me just quickly give you a quick rundown of all of the logistics and then we will reveal the theme for this year and why we picked it.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: So Pelvicon 2024 is in Atlanta, georgia.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: It is September 27th and 28th.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: For the main conference, which is a Friday and a Saturday, tickets go on sale on Black Friday.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: It has, my friends, sold out two years in a row.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: So it's really important for y'all to get on the wait list, like we've been bothering you to do.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: That is where you're going to get priority access to get tickets.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: We're going to talk a little bit more about all of the logistics.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: We'll repeat all that at the end, but let's move on.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Just because I feel like this was actually an interesting sort of genesis of how we came to drumroll, please Pelvicon drumroll.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: For those of you who've been, we do this Pelvicon 2024 theme is Ignite and we will certainly friggin ignite a lot of fires at Pelvicon, and so we're so excited.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: But we wanted to share with you all why we chose this theme.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: So just give us the little genesis story for Pelvicon 2024 Ignite.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, and, like I said, for you and I, it is our passion project, it's what we love and it's really cool to see what it has meant to attendees and people who've been a part of it.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: The Pelviconers and I'm one of.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: It's been very inspiring hearing different people what Pelvicon meant to them.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: But after our first Pelvicon we were kind of wrapping up the conference and be feeling like very overwhelmed emotionally because it really had been such a special event and we had a Pelviconner who came up to us and really, with tears in their eyes, said I have to tell you all that prior to this weekend I was planning on leaving the field, leaving the specialty of Pelvic Health, and after this weekend I feel completely reinvigorated in in our specialty.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: I feel reinvigorated in the passion for what we do, for my practice, and it was honestly for us one of the more meaningful things to happen because it's not an isolated story and I think that many people struggle I mean, we're humans and there's so many different things that can go on in our careers and, honestly, in seeing that, it kind of inspired us to think about what we're doing with Pelvicon and what Pelvicon can be for everyone who's there, and really seeing and looking out on our attendees and seeing this fire that was building this passion, reading all of the feedback from people that they were feeling inspired to go back to their practices.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: They're filled, they're ready to do better for their patients and we're really excited to lean into that for this year.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: You know we want Pelvicon 2024 to ignite, so much for all of you all this year.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I think one of the other really powerful statistics that we had after we pulled a lot of the Pelviconers for 2023.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: And that's the year where we increased the number of people so more people could experience it in person.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: So we had 625 public rehab providers at the 2023 conference that was just a couple of months ago and 50% of Pelvic Honors at the event were the only public health rehab provider at their practice.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: And talk about a flame that would fizzle out.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: To continue the metaphor, you know that is a flame that you can be the most passionate person you can have fire under you to like help patients, and then it can fizzle out If we're not being around like-minded people, if we're not continually being pushed to learn more things and make more connections and do more mentorship and do more con-ed and stuff like that, and it can really be kind of like a downer for a lot of folks that are being those solo practitioners in their place.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: And so we want Pelvicon all Pelvicons, but certainly in 2024 to just reignite.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: If you're feeling sort of like I'm not sure if I really want to be going in public health.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: I'm feeling kind of burned out.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: I need to sort of fill my cup up more.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: We want Pelvicon to reignite your passion for this field.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: We want it to reignite your drive for being better and being a better clinician for your patients.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: We just want it to be something that is going to make you better as both a person and a clinician.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: And so many times we people get kind of stagnant in their careers.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: You have those weeks in the clinic where you're like, gosh, I'm just doing the same thing with every patient.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: You know I'm falling into a pattern, I'm not critically thinking.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: And we want Pelvicon to reignite for you that passion for learning, that passion for exploring how you practice, that passion and, honestly, that is really going to be established through not just the amazing speakers, which we're so excited to talk with you all about today, but through all of the connections you're going to have with each other.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: You know I remember at Pelvicon I think it was this past year someone was talking to us and after it was like a break, they'd had a conversation with Michelle Lyons over the break and they were like, oh my gosh, I think I got my big take home from Pelvicon.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Just happened in that 10 minute conversation.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: And then that's what we want we want people to be ignited for serving their patients in a different way, in a more thoughtful way, to challenge and change their practice so that we can help more and more people, absolutely.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: One of the things that we also want you guys to know is that, jessica and I I mean, have we counted up the amount of hours that we meet and talk about Pelvicon?
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: And the one of the phrases that you said on stage, the very first Pelvicon, you said all of this is designed for you, and I freaking love this quote because we seriously we're crafting the most perfect, freaking experience ad nauseam, all for all of our days and times that we probably should be paying attention to Pelvic Sanity and Southern Pelvic Health.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: We should be doing Pelvic Pg, rising, pelvic University, pelvic Lore University.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: We're like, oh okay, so what do you?
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: What about this one minute of this one thing?
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: How can we make sure for this group of people that they're going to really feel connected?
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: And how are we going to make sure that everyone goes and has our signature cocktails at the bar and gets the jokes that were and yeah, with the inside jokes you know for it.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Just as an example, you all, one of the signature cocktails last year we have, a glass of red wine, was named quote, not a prescription because, hello, only public rehab providers would think that that is hilarious.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: And get it with With, with passion, right, drink that wine.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it is so true, you know, and I I think that and honestly just goes back to the fact that it is such a Passion project for us that it is easy to spend that time.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, I will say Nicole and Jesse now are known in my house as baby clays mom and baby clays dad, like we literally Saw pictures and Mary goes, oh look, there's baby clays mom.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: I'm like, so you know, famous for other reasons and stuff, but but we spend so much time together because we do really want each aspect of the conference to be very, very thoughtful and To be tailored around creating an experience, because for so many of us, we're so used to being that one Weird, overly comfortable talking about the genitals person.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: When you're with your people, that's where, that is where things are ignited, you know, when you're all together, when you're all laughing at the same jokes and making bracelets and it's beautiful, it is special.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: So, speaking of Curating your experience at public con, let's just talk about the friggin speakers, because talk about igniting, reigniting your passion, igniting your learning.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: I mean these freaking speakers, y'all are gonna die and I know that some of you might already know of them.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: I know Jesse and I've talked about them on the podcast already, but now Jessica and I are gonna go through them with you and just say, like why we're so excited to have them.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: So we have three returning and five new.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: So, jessica, why don't you go through the returning speakers?
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're super excited to have Yeni, teran and Michelle returning this year.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: They all are just such dynamic presenters and really blew everyone away last year on the stage.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: You know, yeni is Incredible.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: I could listen to Yeni speak all day and it's really cool because she's talking about concepts and Diagnoses that we often don't cover, you know.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: I mean she did a great talk last year on fertility.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: We're chatting through topic ideas for her today, but Yeni's passion and her Expertise extends to things like PCOS, uterine fibroids.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, what was last time you heard a lecture Covering that?
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: I really understood what the medical options are, how you can fill what you can do as a rehab provider, so we're really pumped about that.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: You know, teran was Another speaker that I think I was really excited about last year because a lot of US based Providers had not really known of Teran very much.

• 16:42
  Speaker 1: People loved hearing her.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, teran's knowledge of anatomy is, I honestly don't know another rehab provider who has that level of knowledge and it's incredible.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: And so she is gonna be coming back and talking on a different topic.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: That is gonna be so fun and it's gonna be awesome.
• 17:02

• 17:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, she's so awesome and the cool thing is is that she has so many different areas of expertise.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: I think that even if you all were saw her at 2022 and she and when she was at 2023 as well, she's returning for the third year in a row we're gonna have to do something special for her.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I Feel like her area of expertise and her just longevity in the field has been so amazing in different areas and and we're excited to hear her talk about even different topics than anything that she's spoken on before.

  Speaker 1: She has such expertise in pelvic girdle pain in the istasis rectus.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: She also published I call it like a well quoted article because we see it all the time all over social media and that was her work on the association between pelvic floor dysfunction and lumbopelvic pain, and what she found was that many people who have low back and pelvic girdle pain also have pelvic floor dysfunction, which was really a huge statistic.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: For those of us who work in this field.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: It kind of reinforced what we see in the clinic and is very powerful.

  Speaker 1: Dynamic speaker I could have chatted with him when we were asking him to speak forever, forever.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: We were on the Zoom call with him for like 45 minutes and I was like I feel like I just learned a lot just by, like I know, just by being in presence.

  Speaker 1: So I hope that you all are really excited about these speakers.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: And I mean Jesse was like you know, because he's not a PT, and now there is Andrew, a rehab provider, and so he was like Are you sure, you know, is this going to be like cool?
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: And we're just like, oh my gosh, this is like.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Look at those names.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: People are going to be like their minds are going to be just blown when they see everybody on the same ticket.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: I mean I will be fangirling.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: I have to say like to have these people all in one place, I can't even.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: I can't even.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: I mean it'll be.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: It's going to be hard to keep Michael Hoche.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: They can't even in some of our posts and stuff when they're talking to each other.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: I can't wait to meet you in person.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: I can't wait to go, I know, and I'm like I can't wait to be like we all hold you all in person together.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: It's, it's wild and and the fun thing about Pelvicon, I will say, is that if you are a Pelviconner, it's not like you're just sitting back in an audience watching them and then watching them exit and they're gone.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: You get to like freaking share a glass of wine with them afterwards and like being karaoke with them, like that is like.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: So I mean, we are going to be immersed with these freaking pelvic all-stars.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: It's going to be so awesome and I feel like that is one of the special things and I hope that all of you can hear the passion and Jessica and my voice about what we want to strive to create.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: I feel like a lot of times you go to conferences and it's one of the things.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: It's either super fun but you don't really learn anything applicable, or you learn a ton of stuff that's applicable and it was kind of boring and we just really like wanted to take everything that was like perfect from every conference we've ever been to and put it all on Pelvicon and we freaking succeeded and it's only going to get better from here.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: We're really stoked for 2024.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: It's already igniting us into a ton of different ideas of ways, some questionable, some questionable.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: All right, they'll be rolled out by the committee, don't worry.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: Y'all Great, I know.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Thank God for Andrew and Jesse, because I feel like they veto some stuff that would be kind of wild.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Otherwise, if Nicole and I ruled the conference completely, I can't even tell you where we would be.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: You'd be like doing weird stuff, all right, but so I feel like that's kind of it.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: We hope that you're excited.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: But here's the deal.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: We've got to go through some logistics with you all.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: So if you're, get on the waitlist, what you need to do, we're going to put it in the show notes.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: You can just go to Pelviconcom.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: There's a big button that says get on the waitlist.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Do it now Like don't wait, you've got to get on it because what ends up happening?
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: We are going to give people that are on the waitlist priority access to register for an in-person ticket.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: The in-person ticket is, like we said, september 27th and 28th.

  Speaker 1: It's honestly.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, jessica, you and I were talking about it.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Time goes by so fast, especially as we're getting older.

  Speaker 1: We are forever grateful to all of you guys that take time away for your family to come and all the things.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: But man, it's that good to be able to just be like boom, I am going to work, I'm going to work around that weekend, I'm going to trust that things are going to work out and we're going to be able to prioritize it and go.

• 27:36
  Speaker 1: One last little thing that I think is so cool about Pelican is that Pelican is meant to be this ego free space where we are all there because we care, we love Pelican health and we want to be better for our patients.
• 27:50
