I took my first course in July 2019 but haven’t really had the opportunity to practice much pelvic floor therapy. I was very nervous coming to this class because of my lack of experience. After these 3 days I feel so much more confident in my skillset and realized how much I retained from the first course. I attribute this to the incredible instructors I had for both courses, Pany and Susannah.

I have been so excited for this course and if went above and beyond my expectations! This weekend, my goal was to improve my palpation skills of the pelvic floor to better treat and assess my patients. Following this course, I have so much confidence going home and applying what I’ve learned with my pelvic patients. Not only did my palpation skills grow, but the knowledge of pelvic pain and various things associated with pelvic pain has grown exponentially. I cannot wait to apply my new knowledge to my practice!
- Tristen Nichole Swengle, PT, DPT - Owasso, OK
This is above and beyond the best pelvic course I have taken. The instructors were incredible – such extensive knowledge, engaging, entertaining, funny and wholistic in their approach to these topics. I have been a PFPT for 10 years and have been recurring continued on the topics covered in this course throughout my years in practice. Even with all this additional training and education, I have learned so much in this course. It has been so engaging; I haven’t wanted to miss a single moment of it. Heading back to my practice, I feel refreshed, re-energized, better equipped and informed. Thank you.
