Eating Disorders and Pelvic Health Rehabilitation

Course Description

Eating Disorders and Pelvic Health Rehabilitation : The Role of a Rehab Professional is a live virtual course (including lecture, treatment concepts, and simulated practice of selected techniques) with required pre-course content accessible on Teachable. During the live course, there will be lectures, interactive discussions and clinical treatment and application activities. The instructor will email participants with recommended props to assist with simulated treatment techniques.

This course explores different types of eating disorders including: anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, ARFID (Avoidant Restrictive Feeding Intake Disorder) and OSFED (Otherwise Specified Feeding and Eating Disorder). We will also discuss conditions which do not yet have formal diagnostic criteria such as orthorexia and diabulimia, and we will touch briefly on Pica and Rumination Disorders. This is now an intermediate level course. General knowledge of bowel and bladder dysfunction as well as pelvic floor function will be helpful. Pelvic Floor 1 (PF1) or equivalent is recommended.

Interviews with eating disorder professionals from throughout the country are included in the pre-course lecture to deepen the understanding of the multidimensional effects of eating disorders and the multidisciplinary team necessary to provide support for these individuals. Clinical application activities will be demonstrated and discussed. Selected interventions will be practiced, however, a partner is not necessary for participation in this course.
