How we review accuracy
Because content is authored by the practicing clinician, every article goes through the same clinical judgment we apply in the treatment room. In practice, that means:
- Clinical sourcing. Recommendations are grounded in current peer-reviewed pelvic-floor and rehabilitation research, established clinical practice guidelines (APTA, ISSWSH, and specialty pelvic-health bodies), and direct clinical experience with patients.
- Conservative claims. We avoid promising outcomes. Pelvic-health recovery is individual; articles describe what is generally true and what to discuss with your provider, not what will happen for you specifically.
- Plain language. Content is written for patients first, not clinicians. Where a clinical term is necessary, we define it.
- Periodic review. Evergreen articles are reviewed periodically and updated when guidance changes meaningfully. Older articles remain available because pelvic-health fundamentals (anatomy, mechanics, common patterns) do not change year to year.
What this content is, and isn’t
Articles and condition pages on this site are educational. They are intended to help you understand pelvic-health conditions, what physical therapy can address, and what to expect from care.
They are not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment for your individual situation. Reading an article does not establish a patient-provider relationship. If you are experiencing symptoms, please contact us or consult a qualified healthcare provider for an evaluation tailored to you.
Corrections and feedback
If you spot an error, an outdated reference, or something that reads as unclear or misleading, we want to know. Email [email protected] with the page URL and the concern. Corrections to factual errors are made promptly.
Independence
Bethany Hansen, LLC is an independent solo practice. We do not accept payment, free products, or sponsorship in exchange for editorial coverage. Any product, brand, or external resource mentioned in an article is mentioned because we believe it is genuinely useful for patients in that context.
