The pelvic floor is one of the most important yet least understood regions of the body. Too often, it is overlooked in training programs and left out of treatment strategies—despite its central role in core stability, urogenital and sexual health, and more. This presentation will shine light on the pelvic floor by blending lecture and live demonstration to demystify this complex area and show how approachable this area is. We’ll review the anatomy of the pelvis, common conditions seen in pelvic floor disorders, and special considerations when treating pelvic floor patients. There will also be demos of locating, palpating, and needling structures in the pelvis and pelvic floor. This will be a truly eye-opening experience!

About Jamie Hampton, DAOM, L.Ac.
Dr. Jamie Hampton is a doctoral graduate of The American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the oldest TCM school in the US. She has worked in leading San Francisco Bay Area hospitals for the last 18 years with an emphasis on true integration and collaboration within fast paced clinical settings including the ICU. While she was an adjunct professor through University of California, San Francisco she also had the privilege of teaching grand rounds to medical students. This experience blossomed into a faculty position at the Acupuncture and Integrative Medical College in Berkeley, CA where she taught advanced needling technique, gynecology and advanced formula writing. This solidified her love of teaching and connecting with her students, conveying the power of TCM and all its abilities. Jamie was also co-founder of Golden Leaf Acupuncture in Berkeley, CA which was University California Berkeley’s leading provider for students as well as faculty and staff.
Having discovered a total lack of treatment options for pelvic floor pain and urogenital disorders, Dr. Hampton made it her mission to specialize in helping these patients using Acupuncture and Dry Needling. She has over 15 years of experience specializing in treating the pelvic floor. Currently Jamie practices in Berkeley, CA specializing in pelvic floor disorders and complex orthopedic cases.
