Operation MIST is run by two amazing pelvic floor physical therapists - Dr. Katherine Sylvester and Dr. Jessica Thompson. They began Operation MIST to tackle the maternal health crisis, especially in women of color. By using a smart watch, they monitor moms before, throughout, and even beyond pregnancy to help catch any of the "scary stuff" that sometimes goes missed and to just help moms survive and thrive!
We talk all about...
- What the maternal crisis is and how it differs amongst different populations
- What types of things often go missed during pregnancy
- What collaborative prenatal and postpartum care looks like, in an ideal world
- Katherine's personal healthcare journey with preeclampsia and why it almost didn't get caught before her baby's birth
- Two seriously incredible case studies shared by Jessica and Katherine of some moms they helped through remote monitoring

Dr. Gretchen Walsh is a virtual and in-person pelvic health physical therapist as well as the Director of Clinical Excellence and Leadership at Agile Virtual Physical Therapy. Agile Virtual PT provides virtual care for all types of conditions, from back and shoulder pain all the way to...yep, pelvic health!
We talk about...
- What does virtual physical therapy even look like? Especially for the pelvic floor (AKA do you need to be getting naked on camera? Spoiler: no)
- What subset of the population is most likely to seek out virtual care and why?
- Is virtual physical therapy effective? What does the research say?
- When is it better to see someone in-person versus via virtual pelvic floor physical therapy?
We constantly want to be bringing attention to resources and treatment options that are legitimate and evidence-based in the pelvic health world. Virtual physical therapy is a fantastic option. Receiving pelvic health care does not have to be all or nothing.
It's for this reason we are so thrilled to be partners with Agile Virtual PT. Via our Ask A PT service, we help guide our customers with tips and tricks, education, and support - while using or not using Flyte. But if you need additional individualized care, we are armed with resources - virtual and in-person. And we absolutely love referring to the fabulous pelvic PTs at Agile Virtual PT.

Dr. Ginger Garner is an integrative PT, eucator, and longtime advocate committed to making physical therapy services accessible, affordable, and equitable, especially for pelvic health. She is the CEO of Living Well Institute, author of Medical Therapeutic Yoga, and owner of pelvic and orthopedic practice EudeMOMia in Greensboro, NC.
So basically a total power house. We talk about:
- What the voice even has to do with the pelvic floor?
- How your voice quality may indicate some pelvic floor involvement (and what kind of voice qualities to keep your eye on)
- Up to date research on how accurately people think they are using their pelvic floors vs how they actually are doing
- A fabulous case study showcasing the fact that it's about HOW we use our voice more so than how often, that is related to our pelvic floor
And so much more. Listen to this episode to learn about something you probably haven't thought about before, either as a clinician or simply someone who uses their voice all day (calling all singers, teachers, educators, doctors, and any other frequent voice users!). If anything, just listen for Ginger's casual musical voice because she for sure has that.
