Format: Satellite

This is a satellite offering of the course Pelvic Function Level 1. This continuing education course consists of live and interactive instruction preceded by self-paced video lectures and other assignments. Participants in this event will meet in person to watch the live lecture and participate in labs together, with the lab assistant(s) guiding the hands-on learning. For this satellite event, the instructor will lecture live from a remote venue - different from the location in which the course participants and lab assistants gather.

This is the first course in our Pelvic Function Series, Pelvic Function 1 or PF1, and is designed to provide a thorough introduction to pelvic health, pelvic dysfunction, and interventions for rehabilitation. We created PF1 for the clinician who wants to begin treating patients with conditions including urinary incontinence, chronic pelvic pain (CPP), and pelvic organ prolapse. Participants will understand how diagnoses such as interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome (IC/PBS), pelvic neuralgias, vulvar pain, and dyspareunia may be improved with pelvic rehabilitation. Practical, supervised, hands-on labs will include an external perineal and anorectal approach and internal vaginal examination. 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. Hands-on lab time allows for supervised instruction of pelvic function evaluation with external observation, palpation, and internal vaginal examination of pelvic skeletal and soft tissues.

For pelvic conditions, participants will learn to:

· Recognize the key signs and symptoms that lead to impairment, functional limitations and disabilities

· Use an evaluation/outcome tool

· Design a multi-modal plan of care for pelvic rehabilitation

· Perform clinical interventions based on the patient presentation and goals

Clinical treatment interventions will include patient education, neuro re-education, therapeutic exercise, manual therapy, therapeutic activities, instruction in self-care, and recommendations for relevant modalities. A general understanding of billing practices will be discussed in this course.
