Presented By
Lindsey Vestal
OTR/L, TIPHP
Lindsey graduated as an OT from NYU in 2011, destined to be in pelvic health. She followed her destiny, knowing she would be a double-horned unicorn. Not many people know what OT is and what it adds to pelvic health, but she knew she had to perfect her elevator speech. She became the proud founder of the first in-home pelvic health practice in NYC (the Functional Pelvis) run by an OT. Now, she teaches OTs how to become rock star pelvic floor therapists (aka double-horned unicorns.).
She curates an amazing community on her Facebook group, OTs for Pelvic Health, with over 7,000 members. She is also the host of her weekly podcast, "OTs in Pelvic Health," which empowers fellow OTs on the path to take to have a successful and fulfilling career in pelvic health. Lindsey thrives on being a connector to bring people together and improve how healthcare providers learn and help others.
