Course description
This practice-ready, entry-to-practice intensive is designed to equip clinicians with the foundational knowledge, hands-on skills, and clinical confidence needed to assess and treat patients presenting with common pelvic health conditions.
Led by an experienced FCAMPT physiotherapist, this course offers a unique approach by integrating pelvic health through an orthopaedic clinical lens. Participants will learn how to assess and treat the pelvic floor not in isolation, but as part of the entire musculoskeletal system – bridging the gap between orthopaedic and pelvic health practice.
This intensive combines essential theory with practical application, including pelvic floor anatomy, palpation skills, comprehensive subjective and objective assessment, and structured treatment planning. Emphasis is placed on clinical reasoning, patient communication, and real-world application, ensuring participants leave ready to begin building and treating a pelvic health caseload.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
Describe pelvic floor anatomy and function across genders
Understand common pelvic floor conditions seen in clinical practice and correlation with orthopedic conditions if relevant.
Perform a comprehensive pelvic health subjective assessment
Demonstrate safe, ethical, and consent-based external and internal pelvic floor examinations.
Develop basic treatment plans using sound clinical reasoning.
