"I am a sports physio interested in women's health including that of and around the pelvis. I took part in the pelvic floor integration - a non-internal pelvic health course. This was absolutely excellent. Mandy presented in an engaging way that covered everything I was hoping for and more. There was a mixture of videos, handouts, self learning tools and all of these helped with the learning. Highly, highly recommend this course for any physio or health practitioner that treats or wants to learn more on and around the pelvis and pelvic floor. Thanks to Mandy for her great course.

Course Testimonials

"This was a very informative course, especially to see if you would be interested in doing an internal pelvic examination course. It gives you all of the benefits on how you can help patients with a daily struggle that they are to "scared" to talk about."

Suzani

 

"As a physiotherapist who teaches Pilates classes and has a special interest in pelvic floor integration, I found this course incredibly valuable. It’s comprehensive, well-structured, and provides a clear outline of symptoms to look out for when treating different conditions. The content is especially relevant for those running Pilates classes, where the pelvic floor often becomes a topic of interest for clients. After completing the course, I feel much more confident in knowing which clients I can safely work with and when it’s appropriate to refer on. I also appreciated receiving some practical assessment tips and screening tools to gain a better understanding of the client's understanding and complaint for appropriate referral."

Christine

 

"As a musculoskeletal therapist who has a special interest in SIJ and pelvic girdle/LBP this course was very informative and gave good insight and anatomy into the pelvic floor, its anatomy and complications. The course has provided me with more insight and appropriate questions to ask patients in order to refer, and to even know when to refer. I would not have asked or thought of the issues that I now consider."

Kim

 

"This course was valuable in getting to know the anatomy of the pelvic girdle. Really opens your eyes to assessment and treatment of a patient, not only for pelvic floor conditions, but the role of the pelvic floor holistically. Slides are available which is a plus and there is extra content and outcome measures to download"
