Upon completion of this continuing education course, participants will be able to:

1. Discuss the importance of using evidence-based language when discussing the pathophysiology of Pelvic Venous Disorders (PeVD).
2. Differentiate between venous pain and musculoskeletal pain in individuals.
3. Discuss how anatomical abnormalities of venous obstruction and venous reflux (“RIGI”) manifest across genders and how that presentation changes if compensatory strategies are present.
4. Identify the four main clinical presentations of PeVD and which diagnostic imaging is required for proper diagnosis.
5. Identify the subjective and objective findings that will be used to guide your evidence-based interventions.
6. Identify the significance of optimal diaphragmatic function and its systemic effect on the body.
7. Identify the four criteria needed to maximize venous return in this patient population and the manual techniques and exercises that will help achieve this.
8. Identify compression products that can be used in the management PeVD symptoms and how to individualize this for your client’s needs.
9. Analyze research findings to determine evidence-based therapeutic wavelengths and treatment parameters.
