Lindsey Vestal is the founder of The Functional Pelvis, the first in-home pelvic health practice in New York City run by an Occupational Therapist. She has helped thousands of people overcome chronic pelvic health challenges like incontinence and pelvic pain. Her goal is to empower women and men to listen to the wisdom of their own bodies—without resorting to invasive surgeries or prescription drugs—so they can heal and get back to enjoying life again. SHE TAKES A DIFFERENT APPROACH FROM OTHER PELVIC HEALTH EXPERTS. In fact, she doesn't really take an "expert" approach at all.Instead, she relies on her clients to share their expertise about their own bodies.That way she can offer the personalized support they need to regain control of their basic bodily functions. She considers the whole person, not just outward physical symptoms. She doesn't believe kegels are a one-stop shop for every pelvic floor dysfunction.To receive Lindsey's refreshing newsletter about all things core and pelvic floor, go here.
