About Course
If you treat pregnant or postpartum women, this 2-day clinical course is designed for physiotherapists, osteopaths, and chiropractors. It is an orthopedic course—no pelvic floor experience required.
The course focuses on pelvic pain and dysfunction in pregnancy and postpartum, including return to sport. It uses an evidence-based, integrated clinical approach with symptom-modification strategies. Training includes lectures, demonstrations, hands-on practice, and video case studies, combining manual therapy, exercise, and taping to equip practitioners with practical tools for this often underserved population.
Key topics include: posterior pelvic pain, symphysiolysis/SPD, femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), transient osteoporosis (TOP), and more.
Open to all clinicians—no internal/vaginal pelvic floor examination is taught or required.
Learning Goals
Understand and treat musculoskeletal pain in pregnant and postnatal patients.
Perform red-flag and medical screening for this population.
Diagnose common conditions and apply an integrated treatment approach.
Support postpartum women returning to daily activity and sport.
