Clinical Mentorship & Skills Practice with Awake Pelvic Health & Wellness
Pelvic health is complex and there’s a lot to learn! Many practitioners don’t receive pelvic health training or coursework in school, and often don’t ever get 1:1 mentorship.
Our team at Awake Pelvic Health & Wellness is passionate about helping students and practitioners new to Pelvic Health gain skills, confidence, and a framework for treating their patients. Check out our skills practice sessions and clinical skills library (coming soon!) to help you build your clinical toolbox!
Pelvic Health Student Seminar & Skills Practice
Join the Awake Pelvic Health & Wellness team on Saturday, March 23rd for a morning of Pelvic Health Physical Therapy education and skills practice. This four hour seminar is a unique opportunity to learn about pelvic health PT and practice a wide variety of hands-on skills taught directly from our team of Pelvic Health Physical Therapists.
We’ll dive into:
Pelvic floor 101: anatomy, function, and surface anatomy lab
Pregnancy, Postpartum, and Birth Preparation
Common bladder, bowel, and sexual function issues and treatment techniques
How to use and prescribe commonly used pelvic health tools, such as pelvic wands, dilators, squatty potty, and cupping therapy
Each section will include interactive, hands-on labs led by our Pelvic PT team. This will be a small group learning opportunity and we are capping our seminar to eight students so that you can receive 1:1 guidance and feedback.
We welcome PT students that are interested in/curious about pelvic health physical therapy looking to learn more and add skills to their toolkit. Space is limited to 8 students and registration is on a first come, first serve basis. *No previous pelvic health coursework necessary and we will not perform internal pelvic floor exams in this seminar.
