Course Title

Pelvic Function Level 1

Course Description

This first course in our pelvic health series, Pelvic Function 1 or PF1, is designed to provide a thorough introduction to pelvic health, pelvic dysfunction, and interventions for rehabilitation. We created PF1 for the clinician who wants to begin treating patients with conditions including urinary incontinence, chronic pelvic pain (CPP), and pelvic organ prolapse. Participants will understand how diagnoses such as interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome (IC/PBS), pelvic neuralgias, vulvar pain, and dyspareunia may be improved with pelvic rehabilitation. Practical, supervised, hands-on labs will include an external perineal and anorectal approach and internal vaginal examination. The information contained in this course is immediately applicable to clinical practice.

Presentation of trauma-informed, evidence-informed evaluation and intervention will be emphasized. Outcome measures and quality of life questionnaires will be presented for a variety of conditions. Hands-on lab time allows for supervised instruction of pelvic function evaluation with external observation, palpation, and internal vaginal examination of pelvic skeletal and soft tissues.
