The conversation emphasizes the mind-body connection and the need for women to feel empowered in their healing journey.
Dr. Whitney Sippl is a women's health PT who works with women throughout the lifespan from pediatric pelvic floor, fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, lactation, perimenopause, post-menopause, and into older adulthood. She is devoted to promoting awareness, well being, and healing of her patients with a goal of empowering women to address any of their discomforts or concerns. Many women are told that symptoms such as incontinence (leaking), painful intercourse, scar pain, pelvic girdle/back pain, prolapse, and abdominal separation are normal; however, although these conditions may be common, they are not “normal” and there are many therapies available to address these concerns. She loves teaching women simple ways to take care of themselves while their bodies are changing throughout the lifespan.
