How can FSM help your pelvic floor?

Madelyn Altman • May 15, 2023

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.

Why IV Nutrient Therapy Is Changing the Way We Heal and Feel

By The Healing Collective • November 12, 2025

If you’ve ever taken a handful of vitamins and wondered how much your body is actually absorbing — you’re not alone. Nutrients taken orally can lose a significant percentage of their potency as they move through the digestive system. IV nutrient therapy changes that equation entirely. By delivering vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants directly into your bloodstream, IV therapy allows for near-100% absorption and rapid cellular delivery — something no capsule or powder can match. The result? Faster energy restoration, deeper detoxification, and noticeable vitality that most people feel within hours to a day. At The Healing Collective Functional & Integrative Medicine in Niwot, CO , we use IV therapy not just for hydration or recovery, but as a powerful tool for whole-body healing — especially when combined with good nutrition and targeted supplementation. Because while IV therapy provides an incredible boost, food and supplements remain the foundation of sustained wellness. Without them, many people would experience even greater nutrient deficiencies, fatigue, and barriers to healing. Together, a nutrient-rich diet, quality supplementation, and IV therapy create a synergistic path to true cellular vitality.
