Pelvic Floor Strengthening
We know there must be a more to strengthening than just voluntary, isolated pelvic floor contractions. That's where our field has been stuck for almost 80 years! But we really aren't sure what the evolution of pelvic PT - Pelvic PT 2.0 - looks like.
We can be more functional. More individualized. More tailored to the patient's needs and tasks.
We can get patients off the table (without it being weird). Get more buy-in in our initial evaluation. Train the pelvic floor in the way it is meant to function.
And ultimately move the field forward together.
"Absolutely changed the way I practice, how I evaluate, and how I THINK about the pelvic floor. Pelvic strengthen in the system and for function!" - Sarah P.
This course is for Pelvic Floor Therapists Who...
✔️ Want to move beyond simple volitional training of the pelvic floor
✔️ Recognize they want to be providing more functional, individualized care for patients
✔️ Understand ANY exercise can be a pelvic floor exercise in the right context
✔️ Want to think more about the system instead of focusing solely on Kegel exercises
✔️ Want to feel like you're using your whole PT degree again
✔️ Realize just Kegeling at red lights isn't going to cut it!
