Course Overview
Advanced Pelvic Floor Course: Fertility, sex, & pelvic surgery
In this advanced continuing education course, clinicians will be equipped with the knowledge they need to take a fitness-forward approach to advanced pelvic floor topics. The world of pelvic health is expanding rapidly, and physical therapists and rehabilitation clinicians have the opportunity to enter into new and unique areas of practice. Building on the concepts utilized in Pelvic I, clinicians will learn how to help individuals (male and female) navigate rectal complaints, pain syndromes, sexual dysfunction, conception and fertility, and so much more!
Pelvic Floor Course
This is an 8-week ONLINE continuing education course. All content (videos, resources, etc.) is delivered through our online learning platform, the ICE Physio App.
Live video conference calls take place weekly to discuss content and dive deeper into the material. These meetings take place on Thursdays at 8 PM EST and are recorded if you cannot attend live. While live attendance is optional, you will be responsible for viewing the recording afterwards as you will be assessed on the content discussed.
