Course Title

Pelvic Function Level 2A

Course Description

Pelvic Function Level 2A (PF2A) is an intermediate-level course that will provide the pelvic health clinician with more tools to comprehensively evaluate and treat pelvic dysfunction. The participant will have the opportunity to learn about common functional gastrointestinal (GI) dysfunctions including irritable bowel syndrome, fecal incontinence and constipation. Participants will understand how diagnoses such as hemorrhoids, fistulas, fissures, and anorectal pain including pudendal neuralgia and coccygodynia may be improved with pelvic rehabilitation. Introduction to nutrition for bowel health, other colorectal conditions and oncology will be provided. Practical, hands-on, supervised labs will include an external perineal and internal anorectal approach as well as education in use of balloon re-training. This course was designed as a progression of knowledge and skills learned in the foundational course of our Pelvic Function Series: Pelvic Function Level 1: Introduction to Pelvic Health. 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. Daily lab time allows for supervised instruction of pelvic function evaluation with external observation, palpation and internal anorectal examination of pelvic skeletal and soft tissues.
