Inside Out or Outside In?: External Orthopaedic Approaches to Pelvic Floor Dysfunction

Inside Out or Outside In?: External Orthopaedic Approaches to Pelvic Floor Dysfunction

Join us for an exciting in-person event focused on exploring external orthopaedic approaches to pelvic floor dysfunction. Discover innovative techniques and gain valuable insights from a leading expert in the field. Approved for 5.5 IL CEUs.

Course Description: Pelvic health is often viewed as an untouchable, only internal approach. But when viewed through a much wider lens, the pelvic floor and lumbopelvic regions can become treatable by the OMPT. This course will provide an evidence-based lecture, interactive case study, and hands-on lab portion to thoroughly examine examination, evaluation, diagnostic and treatment process of lumbopelvic girdle pain and pelvic floor dysfunction. It will also examine when it is appropriate for treatment by the OMPT and when a referral to a pelvic floor training physical therapist is necessary. Lab attire is recommended for the lab portion. This course will not include internal examination techniques for the pelvic floor.

Measurable Course Objectives:

1. Participants will demonstrate understanding of the anatomy, physiology and theoretical models of pain science in regard to lumbopelvic girdle pain and pelvic floor dysfunction

2. Participants will demonstrate the ability to synthesize data from the evaluation process to make evidence-based differential diagnosis

3. Participants will be able to select appropriate interventions and strategies based on a biopsychosocial model of healthcare delivery to optimize patient-centered outcomes

4. Participants will demonstrate competence in selected manual therapy and movement interventions in the management of lumbopelvic girdle pain and pelvic floor dysfunction

5. Participants will demonstrate understanding of the application of self-reported outcome measures in regard to patient diagnosis, prognosis, and goal setting.
