“I have a bigger connection with my patients than I ever have, and that even translates to working with other professionals on the care team.” - Dr. Maggie Roth, PT, DPT, ATC, WHC

Integrating health coaching into our existing practices and skills can profoundly improve patient care and outcomes. In clinical training, we’re typically taught to measure success against a set of functional goals. It’s rare for clinicians to encourage patients to think about goals specific to their lives and support them in achieving them.

The healing journey is not just about evidence-based measures like how far a patient can walk and what their endurance is. Those metrics are important, but they're not the whole story and don’t reflect a holistic approach to women’s health.

Today, I’m thrilled to introduce you to Dr. Maggie Roth, a graduate of our Women’s Health Coach certification program. Maggie is a pelvic health expert and physical therapist who now specializes in working primarily with mothers who also deal with chronic pain. Since graduating, she has integrated her coaching training into her physical therapy practice in a way that has helped her clients get to the point of being fully well and in alignment with their goals.

In this conversation, Maggie and I discuss her journey into physical therapy, what it has been like integrating health coaching into her physical therapy practice, what holistic, client-centered care looks like, why relieving physical symptoms doesn’t address the whole picture, her experiences as a postpartum mother and working with women suffering from chronic pain, the need for continuing education and community support among healthcare professionals, and more.

Enjoy the episode, and let's innovate and integrate together!
