Pregnancy, Pelvic Girdle Pain & The Pelvic Floor

Participants who register for this course have the option to attend the course live-online and/or watch the recording later. The recording will be available to all registrants for a 6-week period and access is provided on the next business day following the course. This allows participants who may not be able to attend live-online to still benefit from the course content. 

If you are watching the recording only, please note that the breakout room discussions are not recorded and you’ll only be able to see the discussion after. 

Description:

This advanced-level course is designed to deepen the knowledge of physiotherapists and other healthcare providers in optimizing pelvic health throughout the perinatal period and postpartum period, with a specific focus on understanding and managing pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain (PGP).

Participants will explore evidence-based strategies to prevent pelvic floor dysfunction during pregnancy and childbirth, as well as best practices for restoring pelvic floor function in the postpartum period. The course will provide a comprehensive overview of appropriate exercise prescription both before and after birth, tailored to support pelvic health.

In addition, advanced assessment and treatment techniques for anorectal dysfunction related to coccydynia in pregnancy and postpartum will be reviewed and demonstrated.

PGP is poorly understood by many clients and clinicians. This course will challenge outdated narratives—such as the overemphasis on relaxin—and equip participants with a clearer understanding of the true drivers of this clinical presentation with particular attention to muscle imbalances that contribute to the clinical presentation. Clinicians will leave with tools necessary to foster a more confident, effective approach to care.

This is a live two-day online lecture course, which includes videos of all assessment and treatment techniques.

Included in this course are the following videos that must be watched prior to the course. You’ll have an opportunity to ask any questions that may arise from watching the videos during the course.

  • DRA video (2.75 hours) – created by Munira Hudani for Pelvic Health Solutions on practical tools and tips, exercise principles and progressions, and the framework she uses.
  • Clinical tests and exercises video (18 minutes) – created by Susan Clinton for Pelvic Health Solutions on special tests to assess pelvic girdle pain and treatment strategies.

Upon completion, participants will:

  • Explore the anatomical, physiological and hormonal changes that occur during the perinatal and postnatal stages.
  • Discuss and review pelvic floor anatomy, focusing on its role in pelvic girdle pain, incontinence and dyspareunia.
  • Learn about the phases of labour.
  • Gain insight into the physiotherapist’s role in both perinatal and postnatal care, including birth plan preparation, perineal massage and birth positions options during labor.
  • Learn assessment and treatment considerations for episiotomy scars/tears, c-section scars, incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, dyspareunia, diastasis recti, coccydynia and other musculoskeletal conditions that occur during pregnancy and postpartum.
  • Gain knowledge on exercise considerations during pregnancy and postpartum, including return to running guidelines and post c-section recovery treatment guidelines.
  • Learn to recognize red flags, contraindications to various treatments, including exercise in high-risk pregnant population and become familiar with urgent maternal signs.
  • Understand obstetric red flags that may require a referral to medical team (OB, midwife, family MD or nurse practitioner)
  • Investigate the causes of pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain, along with associated impairments, functional limitations, and disabilities.
  • Perform a lumbopelvic assessment of pregnancy related pelvic girdle pain using provocation testing and applying a biopsychosocial approach
  • Establish appropriate patient centered goals and develop an evidence-based treatment plan during pregnancy and postpartum
  • Develop knowledge in evidence-informed strategies to address and mitigate pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain, including exercise and lifestyle interventions.
  • Integrate these learnt concepts with the use of case studies.

Audience: This course is open to all practitioners who work with women in the perinatal care period: physiotherapists, naturopathic doctors, nurses, midwives, and medical doctors.

Prerequisite: Level 1 (or equivalent to be approved by PHS – please email info@pelvichealthsolutions.ca for approval).

Level 3: Biopsychosocial Reframed

This course is designed to be attended live during the specific dates and times listed. By attending live, you’ll be able to harness the benefits of live discussions, timely feedback, and a collaborative environment.

Course Description: 

Do you get frustrated with your persistent pain patients who don’t respond to your biomechanical approach? Transitioning to a biopsychosocial framework has been a challenge for many clinicians despite the competency of our biomechanical training. When patients have a sensitive nervous system, measuring psychosocial distress as objectively as we measure range of motion, muscle strength, proprioception and joint mobility is important when profiling their sensitive nervous system.

This course will teach you how to reframe your persistent pain patients by treating the “whole person” using a psychologically informed framework.

The use of distress questionnaires (SAD CLLIFSS) and skills training for the psychosocial components is lacking in many physiotherapy-based training programs.

This course teaches you how to use distress questionnaires to assess the drivers of central sensitization. Clinicians need to do better than simply prescribe yoga and meditation to their patients with a sensitive nervous system. Explore the strong evidence behind matching evidence-informed treatment techniques such as pain education, yoga, qi gong, meditation, sensory-motor retraining, expressive writing exercises and cardiovascular exercise to each patient’s “driver” of their sensitive nervous system in order to improve patient outcomes. Barrier-breaking strategies of integrating psychologically informed practices into our treatment approach for persistent pain is a key competency of the modern, evidence-informed clinician.

Upon completion of this course, participants will learn:

  • To move beyond “talking” about a biopsychosocial model of care to truly incorporating this model into your practice.
  • To define central sensitization and how to measure the characteristics of central sensitization in your clinical practice.
  • To understand a clinical framework for treating persistent pain that expands on your current biomechanical skills (from new grad to seasoned clinician).
  • How to assess various drivers of a sensitized nervous system and to “match” evidence-informed psychosocial skills to these drivers.
  • Novel movement exercises including six qi gong routines for the upper body, lower body, breathing and pelvic organs to help to address sensory-motor changes as well as generalized tension.

This is a lecture-format and lab-based course. Included in the cost of the course are handouts and resources for each of the techniques learned. The audiovisual resources presented during this course for meditation, progressive relaxation exercises and qi gong will be made available as free downloads but can also be purchased through Embodia Academy for easier patient prescription.

Audience: This course is open to all healthcare professionals.

Cesarean Birth & Rehabilitation

Participants who register for this course have the option to attend the course live-online and/or watch the recording later. The recording will be available to all registrants for a 6-week period and access is provided on the next business day following the course. This allows participants who may not be able to attend live-online to still benefit from the course content.

Course Description:

Cesarean births make up approximately one third of childbirth deliveries in Canada. However, there remains limited and often conflicting post-operative guidance for patients which can leave them feeling unsure of how to navigate their recovery following a Cesarean section. Insufficient guidance on when and how to return to exercise as well as appropriate exercise progression can be overwhelming and often result in patients (or practitioners!) doing too much too soon OR avoiding exercise unnecessarily. Physiotherapists and rehab professionals have much to offer in supporting individuals through this journey and help bridge the gap in current care practices.

This course will provide the practitioner with a practical overview of the Cesarean birth experience as well as evidence-informed tools & approaches to help patients optimize recovery. We will also explore a wide variety of exercise ideas through all stages of recovery.

Objectives:

  • learn what a Cesarean birth is (and is not!)
  • review post-operative restrictions & red flags
  • review evidence-informed recommendations for enhancing recovery after surgery
  • learn early post-op pain management techniques & protective strategies
  • exposure to evidence-informed use of modalities in cesarean recovery
  • understand differences in post-operative complications &  dysfunction between modes of delivery (vaginal & cesarean)
  • explore a variety of exercise ideas (including for runners and weight lifters) throughout all stages of recovery
    • 0-6 weeks postpartum
    • 6 week ‘clearance’ and beyond
  • be exposed to medical considerations for future births (e.g. VBAC)
  • explore the role physiotherapy can play in preparing patients for Cesarean birth or VBAC
  • explore prevalent biopsychosocial impacts:
    • impact of C-Section on breastfeeding
    • emotional & psychological impacts; birth trauma
  • explore barriers to recovery and advantages of implementing Telehealth in this population

Practical review and demonstration of:

  • cesarean scar management, mobility and de-sensitization techniques.
  • breastfeeding positions after a Cesarean birth
  • protective strategies in the first 6 weeks postpartum
  • “exercise” ideas for the first 6 weeks after birth
  • exercise at 6 weeks and beyond
  • case example for the telehealth platform

Audience: Open to all healthcare and wellness professionals.

Treatment Solutions for Pediatric Pelvic Floor Dysfunction and Their Bladder and Bowel Health

Participants who register for this course have the option to attend the course live-online and/or watch the recording later. The recording will be available to all registrants for a 6-week period and access is provided on the next business day following the course. This allows participants who may not be able to attend live-online to still benefit from the course content. 

Course Description:

A vast number of children, and their families, are currently struggling with the anxiety and the discouragement that surfaces when bladder and bowel functional development is not what they anticipated. The International Children’s Continence Society (ICCS) outlines that “involuntary wetting at an inappropriate time or place in a child 5 years old or more” (Society, 2011) is not considered normal. According to Ramsay et al., incontinence “negatively affects self esteem, and impairs children’s development” (Sophie Ramsay, January-February 2017).

Bladder and bowel dysfunction (BBD) is extremely common but likely underreported and in turn, underdiagnosed. There are several lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) as well as bowel grievances that separately, or collectively, appear as dysfunctions of the bladder and the bowel in the pediatric population. These LUTS may include “dysuria, urgency, urinary frequency, hesitancy, daytime incontinence, enuresis, dribbling, straining, voiding postponement, and urinary retention” among others (Joana Dos Santos, Roberto I. Lopes, & Martin A. Koyle, 2017). Constipation and encopresis may also be included under BBD when looking at our pediatric population.

As healthcare providers, we need to do more to assist our pediatric populations and to reduce the symptom carry over that may occur into adulthood. As pelvic physiotherapists, we have the ability to significantly improve a child’s quality of life, reduce both the child and their family’s levels of stress and anxiety, and utilize solution-based learning  and treatment techniques to support normalcy in person-specific bladder and bowel function.

This course will focus on the assessment and treatment of children struggling with bedwetting, daytime incontinence, dysfunctional voiding, and difficulties around bowel elimination. Beginning with an overview of the anatomy, and the study of how the human body works, we will dive into how normal urinary function develops and how we achieve urinary control. Participants will learn terminology around bowel bladder normalcy and dysfunction and will learn how pelvic physiotherapists are an integral part of a pediatric healthcare team. Participants will also feel confident knowing when to refer to other members of the pediatric team.

There will be a comprehensive introduction to dysfunctions in voiding and defecation as well as the common causes of urinary and fecal incontinence. Participants will learn and become confident in both assessment and treatment approaches in working with this population. The course will include videos, demonstrations, as well as instructional labs and case studies.

Course Objectives:

Upon completion of this course, participants will:

  • Have reviewed and understand the anatomy of the pelvic floor and its relationship to bladder and bowel function specifically in the pediatric population.
  • Understand how normal urinary function develops and how urinary control is achieved.
  • Understand the role of the pelvic floor as it relates to bladder and bowel voiding reflexes.
  • Have a clear understanding of dysfunction that may require a referral to a member of the pediatric healthcare team.
  • Understand proper pediatric bladder and bowel terminology as outlined by the International Children’s Continence Society
  • Understand the LUTS and bowel dysfunction that may present in the pediatric population.
  • Be introduced to diagnostic tools used in determining potential dysfunction.
  • Understand constipation in the pediatric population and how it directly relates to urinary incontinence.
  • Learn about the behavioural and lifestyle modifications that can assist with pediatric pelvic floor dysfunction.
  • Know how to use bladder logs to assist with bladder and bowel retraining.
  • Know how to observe the effects of posture on pelvic floor muscle recruitment and relaxation and educate on proper positioning to assist with urination and defecation.
  • Understand the psychological impact of bladder and bowel dysfunction and incorporate appropriate referrals to assist.
  • Know how to use surface EMG and biofeedback to both assess and treat pelvic floor dysfunction in pediatric clients.
  • Know how to develop individualized treatment plans as well as progressions for treatment to assist with bladder and bowel training.
  • Be introduced to the Modified O’Regan Protocol (MOP) program and understand its role in treatment.
  • Obtain the tools to confidently assist the pediatric population in becoming continent and provide confident evaluation and treatment.
  • Develop a toolbox of educational information, treatment techniques, and solution-based problem-solving skills to improve the quality of life of pediatric patients.

Prerequisite: None – this is a beginner level course appropriate for healthcare professionals that have an interest in exploring and understanding bladder and bowel disorders in the pediatric population.

Audience: Healthcare professionals may include, but are not limited to, Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Pediatricians, and Pediatric Nurse Practitioners. The content presented in this course is intended for use within the participant’s scope of practice and regulatory licensing and should not be used by individuals who are not licensed or regulated.
