An Introduction to Diagnosis and Treatment of Pelvic Floor Dysfunction

95% of lower back pain patients have an associated pelvic floor dysfunction, which is not often considered in treatment. This course will help you learn how to rule in or out orthopedic conditions that may be influenced by the pelvic floor. Come gain a better understanding of pelvic floor anatomy and the interchange between the pelvis and the inner core system!

 

An evidenced-based beginner’s guide, this course will give you confidence in mastering basic diagnosis and treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction using a fully-clothed, external approach. Whether your decision to take the course is based on interest as a pelvic floor therapist or to help with lumbar/pelvic/hip orthopedic conditions in a less intrusive manner, this course provides a valuable introduction and will certainly apply to many patients who walk into your clinic.

 

As with all our manual therapy courses, this course is at least 75% hands-on lab, and will give you skills you can use immediately upon returning to the clinic!

What Attendees Are Saying

Slide 1 Heading

The information taught can be applied to almost every patient in the clinic and I did not learn it anywhere else! The instructor was amazing and she really helped me understand what I’m palpating, the why, and how it apples clinically and functionally.

Loved the instructor! Very knowledgeable and passionate about the subject. Made the class fun and made learning about the pelvic floor not so scary to treat!

The lecturer is very knowledgeable on the topic and very professional on her demonstrations. Pelvic floor management is very new to me and I'm very glad I took the course. I am now confident to treat incontinence and I can incorporate new treatment and assessment for low back or hip problems.

I have been to many GLS courses and a pelvic floor course in the past. I would recommend this course to all Great Lakes Seminars followers and those wanting a more useful knowledge of pelvic floor incorporation to your current treatment.

The instructor was really dynamic and provided us with constant information that made us think outside the box!

I like that it was a wonderful introduction to pelvic, which is an area some of us get very little training on (if any), and in a way that was very comfortable. Having an external course is a great way to gauge interest/allow us to have a chance to "test the waters" almost before jumping into a full internal course.
