This presentation is a collaboration between Ivy Rehab Network and Hospital for Special Surgerys pelvic floor and orthopedic specialists. The program focuses on the essential elements of a comprehensive orthopedic lumbar and hip evaluation that includes the critical role of the pelvic floor. To demystify the role of the pelvic floor, this course will provide learners with a review of the anatomy and physiology of the pelvic floor as it relates to lumbar and hip pathology. Discussion and integration of an external-only pelvic floor assessment will be addressed to assist clinicians in seamless integration during the evaluation process Education level: beginner
The uniqueness of the female anatomy and endocrinology makes female runners susceptible to certain injuries that have increased prevalence compared to male runners. From adolescence to adulthood, peri-partum and menopause, hormonal fluctuations affect the female body and may change the way we treat, train and rehabilitate runners at different stages in their life. Join us to learn risk factors, injury prevention tips, treatment and evidence-based rehabilitation plans for female patients.

Most people will develop symptoms of pelvic floor, bowel, or bladder dysfunction during their lifetime. It is likely that many of your current patients are in need of pelvic rehab and would see meaningful improvement with your assistance... even if you are not a pelvic health specialist. This course updates the clinician's toolbox to include external strategies to improve outcomes in bladder urgency, urge incontinence, frequency of micturition, and constipation for pediatric, adult, and geriatric patients. Evidence-informed use of neuromodulatory e-stim will be explored, including transcutaneous strategies (TENS) and Percutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation (PTNS.) Participants will be able to implement evidence-based strategies to improve bowel and bladder function in a variety of settings to improve patient outcomes and quality of life.Highlights Update your clinical toolbox beyond Kegels to improve urinary urgency, frequency, and constipation in your patient population Neuromodulation techniques to improve functional outcomes for patients of all ages with bowel and bladder symptoms
