Tough to TreatAuthor: Susan Clinton and Erica Meloe
Welcome to Tough to Treat: A Physiotherapists' Guide to Managing Those Complex Patients, with your hosts Erica Meloe and Susan Clinton, who discuss how they successfully treated patients that others could not. Via case history discussion, they share their physical therapy expertise from treating long standing pelvic pain to persistent neck pain. They present a holistic and integrative view on assessing and treating chronic pain. Unique movement strategies and specific patient exercise prescription are also presented so you can be ahead of the curve when it comes to treating these types of patients. Oftentimes, the source of the problem is not where you think it is!! For example, chronic low back pain emanating from the neck. Or hip pain coming from the foot. It pays to look up and down the kinetic chain!

Solving Hip Pain Outside The Pelvis
Episode 241
Tuesday, 1 September, 2026
Pelvic floor physical therapy can be life-changing — but sometimes it only gets patients part of the way there. In this episode, I discuss a client who was referred to me by a pelvic health therapist after presenting with bilateral hip pain that pelvic floor work alone couldn't fully resolve. I talk about why I see so many of these referrals, and how the pelvis is deeply connected to other regions of the body that aren't always considered "pelvic" but absolutely influence pelvic function and pain. I dig into the bigger picture of what else might be contributing when pelvic-focused treatment plateaus. If you're a patient who's done pelvic floor PT but still isn't feeling 100%, or a clinician trying to figure out what comes next after pelvic-focused care, this episode will help you think more broadly about the regions connected to the pelvis and how to evaluate them effectively. 🎧 Tune in to learn how to look beyond the pelvis without losing sight of it.
