FREE AUA GUIDELINES
PATIENT HANDOUT

Give your patients the most up-to-date recommendations (2022) from the American Urological Association when it comes to IC!  By the way, pelvic physical therapy is the only treatment given an Evidence Grade 'A'!

Nicole Cozean - Pelvic

New Segment – Why This Matters

Interstitial Cystitis (IC) is one of the most misunderstood and challenging conditions in pelvic health. Too often, patients bounce between bladder-focused treatments without relief, while providers and patients alike remain unaware of the full range of options.

The American Urological Association (AUA) guidelines are clear: pelvic floor physical therapy is the only treatment awarded an “A” evidence grade — and it’s recommended above many medical interventions commonly prescribed first. Yet, countless patients still aren’t referred.

This resource makes it easy to:

Show referring providers that their own guidelines recommend pelvic floor PT

Success Icon

Educate patients on the breadth of treatment options beyond bladder-focused care

Success Icon

Strengthen your own clinical knowledge and confidence when treating IC

Help patients see they have multiple treatment options — and hope
Emphasize that every IC diagnosis should include a referral to pelvic PT
Stay current and confident when discussing treatment plans
