This is a two-day course that combines pre-course videos and some in-person lectures. However, a large part of the course will be a lab. This course is designed to educate practitioners on the unique considerations of perinatal athletes engaging in high intensity interval training (HIIT), and provide hands-on evaluation and treatment skills for this patient population. Participants will review technique, breathing mechanics, and movement modifications for weightlifting, gymnastics, plyometrics, running, and more. Exercise attire should be worn for the live movement labs. Participants will also review specific manual techniques that can be beneficial for treatment of this patient population.

Prerequisites: Pelvic Function Level 1, through Herman & Wallace or Pelvic PT 1 through the APTA is required.
