Beth, I want to thank you for being so forthcoming with your knowledge and information. I appreciate your willingness to share. Thank you so much for caring about our women!!

Jovie Murtha, women’s health PT Peoria, IL

I can’t thank you enough for how you helped me….I thought I was a hopeless case…. for years…..You helped me and I’m forever grateful…The best resources I had for this exam prep were conversations with you and learning how to think/mine the data, Irion book, Goodman text, and using Medbridge.

I am writing to inform you that I passed the exam. I am so excited I can’t stop smiling. I would like to thank you for mentoring me. It helped me so much. My approach to the exam was so different than last year. I was much more confident and comfortable.

JW

Last year, I knew when I left that I didn’t do well. As a matter of fact, cried part of the way home. When I finished this year, my confidence level was high! I do believe that I passed! As far as mentoring, I believe that your information/explanation was most helpful! Thanks again

As a newcomer to the field of pelvic physical therapy, distance mentoring provided clarifications to my many questions and enabled me to apply the new skills with increased confidence. Mentoring help and guidance was invaluable and I would highly recommend mentoring with Beth Shelly.

Thank you so very much. It was such a great call and wake up that I was studying the wrong way. I felt like I was filling my head with so many details I was straying from what I needed to know most. I’ve been studying in compartments – anatomy, dermatomes, outcomes measures, surgical scars, red flags, cancer … when a case mixes them all together I feel like a deer in the headlights. I need to start guiding my study with my patient in mind.

Joanne

I have been printing out the articles every month and have thoroughly enjoyed reading them. Thanks

Barbara L.

Thank you so much for creating the Pelvic PT Distance Journal Club. Even though I don’t attend the online meetings I often refer to the research articles. This is an extremely critical at this time, as I am “convincing” local insurance companies that Pelvic PT should be standard of care. The research you’ve made available is imperative to my fight. THANK YOU!!

Amy F.

It’s now been two weeks since we finished our course. I wanted to thank you so much for your time, expertise and insightful thoughts about women and men with OAPFMs, and for guiding us to find so many ways to improve the way we manage these patients. I thoroughly enjoyed re-reading the book in a new light, listening to your comments and discussion, as well as the questions from all the participants. My practice has changed in many wonderful ways over the last few months and I continue to love the challenges these patients present, whilst, at times, finding it exhausting as we give so much!

Janetta

Thanks very much for pulling this all together. The text was a great choice, with some outstanding chapters. I feel I learned some practical treatment additions, but also learned a lot more about the psychosocial side of how our patients may be thinking about their PF problems. For example, I have already asked several women “Are you comfortable saying No to your partner?” which I may not have been able to ask in the past. And being able to see the concepts regarding fear of success were also helpful. The chapters about pain were also great, and I will be doing more reading about chronic pain to be able to offer more education to my chronic pain patients. You spent a lot of time preparing the outline for each week and did a great job summarizing the information, along with sending supplemental readings.

Nancy

Thank you very much for your time Beth! I have really enjoyed the OAPF and it has helped me with some ideas and thoughts.

Kristin

Thanks so much Beth for all your hard work. Definitely a great project. Thanks Talli for a wonderful resource- will reference it widely!

Jo

I wanted to let you know that I passed my WCS! Thank you for all of your help, advice, and support. I could never have done this without you. All of your study information was so helpful. Even if it wasn’t directly on the test, it has definitely made me a better therapist with a more in depth thought process. The rest of my study group, passed as well if they didn’t let you know. Having a study group was invaluable!

MP

The Structured study group I had was INSTRUMENTAL in helping me achieve what I wanted, and the members were an amazing source of camaraderie and support (study support and also emotional support!).
