Pelvic Floor Support Systems

Course Description

You already know a lot...and you know there's more to learn

This course boosts your knowledge base in evaluation and treatment of the pelvic support systems. It is designed for experienced pelvic health practitioners interested in a self-study exploration of current treatment trends and research findings. Kathe uses lectures, exam videos, handouts, case studies and clinic guides, speaking directly to the pelvic health practitioner who has experience…and questions.

Knowledge you'll gain:

• In-depth understanding of advanced myofascial anatomy and the pelvic floor support system
• Increased skill in evaluation of levator ani injury, external perineal measurements (gh, pb - from the POP-Q) used for postpartum, pelvic pain and prolapse evaluations and rehab treatment planning
• A complete understanding of prolapse quantification (POP-Q), prolapse staging and treatment options including selection of pessary candidates
• A greater level of understanding pelvic organ prolapse fascial deficits, perineocele, enterocele, levator ani (LA) avulsion and sites of pelvic pain referral by viewing examination videos and lectures demonstrating internal pelvic floor evaluation techniques with and without a 1/2 speculum
• Knowledge of current intra-abdominal pressure and breathing strategies to use or not use with functional movements
