The Pelvic Service Announcement Podcast: Stay Curious and Stay Open with Holly Tanner

Do you listen to any podcasts? What about podcasts that are focused on pelvic issues and aimed toward the pelvic health practitioner? Here at Herman & Wallace, many of us listen to these and we all have our favorites. Recently HW was lucky enough to work with The Pelvic Service Announcement when Callie and Rachel interviewed Holly Tanner for the episode “Stay Curious and Stay Open” which is available on streaming platforms today.

Who are Callie Teel and Rachel Fritz?
Callie and Rachel are two physical therapists whose passion for women’s health and commitment to education are changing the way people think about this important field.

Callie and Rachel first crossed paths at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, where they both graduated from physical therapy school in 2021. Following their graduation, the duo began their careers at Optimal Physical Therapy in Amarillo, Texas. It didn't take long for them to realize that there was a significant gap in the public's understanding of pelvic health and the role of pelvic floor physical therapy.

As Callie and Rachel embarked on their new careers, they frequently encountered patients who were unaware of the benefits and importance of pelvic health. Many of these patients were women dealing with postpartum recovery, incontinence, pelvic pain, and other issues that affect quality of life. Callie and Rachel saw an opportunity to make a difference—not just in their clinic but also in the wider community.

Pelvic Service Announcement Podcast
Determined to bridge the gap in knowledge, Callie and Rachel decided to share their expertise with the public in a way that was both accessible and engaging. This led to the creation of the "Pelvic Service Announcement Podcast," or PSA for short. Through their podcast, they aim to demystify pelvic health, answer common questions, and offer practical advice for anyone interested in learning more about the subject.

Since launching the PSA podcast, Callie and Rachel have gained a devoted following, with listeners appreciating their down-to-earth approach and willingness to tackle topics that are often considered taboo. They cover a wide range of issues, from pregnancy and childbirth to pelvic pain and sexual health, always with a focus on empowering their audience with knowledge and resources.

For those interested in learning more, the PSA podcast is available on all major streaming platforms. Tune in to hear Callie and Rachel discuss the latest in pelvic health and share valuable insights that you won't want to miss.
