This two-day, in-person continuing education course is targeted to pelvic health clinicians covering frequently used modalities in pelvic health. The course contains several pre-course video lectures followed by two days of in-person hands-on lab and lecture. Participants will learn how to use various modalities that can assist in down-training, uptraining, monitoring of physiologic variables, as well as other tools that can assist in the care of a pelvic health patient. Lectures will instruct the participant in hands-on application of biofeedback and electrical stimulation along with other tools that can be used to assist in relaxation, bowel and bladder health, and sexual function. During labs, participants will have an opportunity to practice utilizing biofeedback for uptraining, down-training, neuromuscular re-education and coordination. Additionally in labs, participants will be able to have hands-on experiences with other modalities to allow kinesthetic learning before prescribing and recommending them to patients. Interventions using shockwave, rehabilitative ultrasound imaging, dry needling, and light therapy will be discussed and demonstrated via video. Specialized knowledge from experts in different subjects will be shared throughout the course.

This course includes video lectures that will cover the scientific basis and physiological principles for utilizing different forms of biofeedback and electrical stimulation. The in-person lecture and lab will focus on hands-on skills and approaches for utilizing these modalities, among others.

Prerequisites
An entry level pelvic floor course that instructs in internal evaluation techniques (Pelvic Floor Level 1, Male Pelvic Floor or other internal lab course) is required prior to taking this class as these will provide the anatomical and assessment foundations needed to maximize learning in this class.

Pre-Course Learning Requirements
10-14 days before the course, participants will receive an invite to join Teachable, an online learning platform. In Teachable, registrants will find video lectures, other pre-course learning materials, course manual files, mandatory liability waiver, and URLs for any Zoom meetings. We require registrants to complete teachable components in sequential order. Videos lectures are required and must be completed in-full before proceeding to the next Teachable section. At the conclusion of the course, registrants can access their post-test and course evaluation form to provide our curriculum team feedback on their experience, as well as download their certificate of completion - all via Teachable.
