Meet the educators

Dr. Alexis Elias-Spohn, is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and Owner of Empower Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy located at Cary Integrative Health in Cary, North Carolina. She earned a Bachelors of Science in Exercise Physiology from Kent State, a Masters of Physical Therapy from Youngstown State University, and a Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Chatham University.Dr. Elias-Spohn started her career in 2007 working in orthopedics in Ohio, with a variety of patient clientele. She relocated to the Triangle in 2018 with her husband and two children.  It was then that she began to focus her career on pelvic floor rehabilitation because she found it fascinating and underutilized.  Struggling with her own postpartum pelvic pain ignited her passion for pelvic floor health. Now, she focuses on listening to women and combating the misinformation given to them surrounding pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and their bladder, bowel, and sexual function.

Dr. Norah Whitten is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and Owner of Functional Phyzio and Performance Therapy in Durham, NC. She earned a Bachelors of Science in Kinesiology from the University of Illinois, then a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Duke University. Dr. Whitten’s practice is shaped by her history as a competitive gymnast and diver. She loves working with active adults, specifically those who enjoy functional fitness and weightlifting. In addition, Dr. Whitten treats a variety of pelvic floor dysfunctions and especially loves helping moms (during pregnancy and postpartum) overcome these challenges so they can do the activities they love and feel strong.

Course format

How is the class presented?

We use a combination of on-demand video, audio, and print files.

This course fully self-paced allowing you to learn on your own schedule. It's divided into chapters enabling you to pause and return as needed.

Why on-demand?

Because adult's brains are similar to a muscle, they need alternating periods of rest and recovery to synthesize new ideas and concepts. When learners receive information in short chunks, rest, reflect, then return is how adults learn best.
