How can FSM help your pelvic floor?

Holistic Pelvic Care

During your Physical Therapy appointment, Dr. Madelyn uses Frequency Specific Microcurrent which is a wonderful complement to traditional physical therapy. People come to Pelvic PT for a variety of things - incontinence, pelvic pain, pain with sex, endometriosis, and more. Most clinics take a strictly orthopedic approach, which has value. However, using FSM with a more holistic approach, that includes orthopedics, has proven to be ideal for best patient outcomes, because it looks at the whole person to find out the driver of the pain instead of just treating the area of pain.


Below are some examples of questions Dr. Madelyn asks patients, followed by how FSM could be used in each scenario: 

  • Does this patient have a high toxic burden? - Support elimination pathways such as the liver and gallbladder


  • Do they have mold or Lyme? - Support elimination pathways, mold detoxification


  • EDS or hypermobility? - Decrease pain and inflammation, repair connective tissue and ligaments


  • Trauma history? PTSD? - Support with PTSD frequencies, emotional component frequencies


  • Previous surgeries? - Remove scar tissue, decrease pain and inflammation


  • Vagus nerve dysfunction? - Support Vagus nerve function, Support midbrain 


  • How many pregnancies and births, if any? - Remove scarring, Support vagus nerve, repair connective tissue and ligaments


  • Diet? - Treat SIBO, Candida, reflux


  • Bowel Health? - Decrease inflammation in intestines, Constipation support


  • Sexual Health? - Decrease pain and inflammation in urogynecological tissues, PTSD, remove trauma, emotional component


  • Viral history? - Remove toxins from tissues


  • Cardiovascular/Respiratory/Neurological issues? Target brain parts, lung, or nerves


  • Autoimmune issues? - Decrease pain and inflammation, mold frequencies, 


All of these questions inform what FSM frequencies Dr. Madelyn will use during the treatment session. Each bit of information is a piece of the puzzle that gives insight into how to begin the journey to healing. With FSM, we begin by dialing it back to focus on what is causing dysfunction in the body. 


Dr. Madelyn takes the time to dig deep to get to the root of the issue. If you would like to see how FSM and Physical Therapy with Dr. Madelyn can help you, schedule a free 15 minute consultation today.
