This virtual course will introduce basic neuroanatomy with a detailed overview of pelvic neurophysiology in preparation for an extensive in-depth look at pelvic health treatment options for Parkinson disease. Pelvic floor external and internal neuro-musculoskeletal assessment considerations will be instructed with the understanding that participants have prior experience in pelvic health coursework or pelvic health patient treatment experience.
Preparatory lectures about Parkinson disease will help develop a clear understanding of the neurophysiology of the disease to establish an equal foundation between experienced practitioners and those who have never worked with this patient demographic. Live course lectures deep-dive into characteristic pelvic health conditions that people with Parkinson's disease may face, discuss multiple assessment and treatment planning options, and will also discuss applications for TENS in the neurologic population.
You may choose to have a TENS unit available for use during the TENS lecture for application on yourself, but this is not required. It is highly recommended that you have a variety of colored pencils available to you for a few of the lectures to help in your understanding of the complex neurophysiological pathways you will learn about.
Upon completion of this virtual course, participants will be able to:
1. List key parts and functions of the central and peripheral nervous systems
2. Identify brain regions and regulatory pathways of neurologic pelvic function
3. Understand neurologic based pelvic musculoskeletal external and internal examination considerations
4. Describe options for the use of TENS for neurogenic bladder and bowel
5. Explain the neuroanatomical reasons for bladder, bowel, and sexual dysfunction in people with Parkinson disease
6. Develop advanced bladder, bowel and sexual health assessment techniques and treatment plans for people with Parkinson disease

"Erica is an engaging, passionate and well-researched presenter. Her pace and vocal tone worked great over Zoom. She checked in often with participants. What I learned as a PD provider has already helped me and my clients: I called three of them after class to talk about what I learned that I thought might help them. I am new to pelvic floor and this was actually a good intro. I don't think female pelvic floor training is what will make the most sense to my ongoing training and so now I know what I can and can't pass off to my pelvic floor co-workers."
Miranda Bunge, PT, DPT, CMTPT | Parkinson Disease and Pelvic Rehabilitation - November 1-2 2024
"Great evidence-based material. Up-to-date new approaches and treatment interventions. I enjoyed the TENS topic and the details of the TENS application."
Valerie Lynch, OTR/L | Parkinson Disease and Pelvic Rehabilitation - April 19-20 2024
"The course slides/manual was absolutely wonderful - the instructor has a gift for organizing complicated information to facilitate learning!"
Katherine Dahl, PT, MPT, CD(DONA) | Parkinson Disease and Pelvic Rehabilitation - April 19-20 2024
"This was the most well-organized and informational course I have taken through H&W thus far. Erica was exceptional at keeping everyone engaged despite the very dense information."
Nadia Wahid, PT, DPT, ATC | Parkinson Disease and Pelvic Rehabilitation - December 1-2 2023
"Very beneficial. Erica is very passionate and engaging. Easy to follow and she explained the complex neuro areas really well."
Christine Eardley, PT, GCS, PRPC, BCB-PMD | Parkinson Disease and Pelvic Rehabilitation - January 27-28 2023
