77. Finding confidence as a new pelvic health physiotherapist with Anniken Chadwick and Trish Gipson

The Pelvic Floor Project

In this episode, I sit down with Anniken Chadwick and Trish Gipson from the Cheerful Academy to discuss:

• Reasons why new physiotherapy graduates are starting off in niche areas like pelvic health
• Differences between practicing in orthopaedic vs pelvic health
• The gap that exists between what we learn in pelvic health courses and what is like in the treatment room
• Common struggles clinic owners experience when introducing a pelvic health practitioner to their team
• As a clinic that employs many pelvic health physiotherapists, what are some common struggles that new practitioners bring up with you?
• What led you to start the Cheerful Academy?
• Describe what the Cheerful Pelvis Pelvic Health Fundamentals mentorship opportunity entails?

Anniken (Founder), and Trish (Director of Clinical Services and Education) work together at both the Cheerful Pelvis, a pelvic health physio clinic in Vancouver BC, and The Cheerful Academy, where they offer online training and mentorship for physios working in pelvic health.

Trish is an FCAMPT therapist with a strong interest in sports and high-level rehab, while Anniken is trained in somatic psychotherapy and enjoys working with persistent pain and trauma. Both are trained in the Integrated Systems Model and take a whole body, whole person approach to their care.

The strength of Trish and Anniken's teamwork is in their differences and the space they create for the diversity in physio styles. They are passionate about using teaching approaches that allow for all types of learning, reasoning and personalities, whilst also offering structured frameworks for mentees to use while they find their own path.
