FAQ

  • Who is this course for?

    This course is aimed at Physiotherapists working in Pelvic Health that are looking to advance their clinical skills.

  • Do I need prior training in Male Pelvic Health Physiotherapy?

    You do not need specific Male Pelvic Health training but you are expected to have prior learning on how to perform internal examinations (vaginal or rectal) as we will not be covering hygiene or informed consent in detail.

  • Can I attend this course online?

    No, this course is only for live, in person participants

  • Do I have to be a model for the digital rectal examination

    It is important for you to experience the process of an anorectal examination and as such we will be practicing the examination process on each other (whether you are male or female). We will be respectful of privacy and have an extra female prac assistant available for females for the practical sessions. Whilst we try to be accommodating to everyone, participants who are not volunteering themselves cannot be guaranteed that they will be able to perform the examination on another participant and may end up attending the practical in an observational capacity only. There is an additional option of paying an extra fee to practice on a simulated male patient on one day of the course

Course Testimonial - Lesley C

"If you are interested in any aspect of Men's Pelvic Health this is the first course you need to do! Pierre and Mandy are so knowledge and their presentation style means you can go back to clinic on Monday and implement what you have learnt. Their teaching style is interactive and you get a ton of information to come away with. The internal exam component is always daunting and often a big source of anxiety - not in this course. Many and Pierre ensured everyone was comfortable and we all left the course feeling comfortable and confident in our new skills. I cannot recommend these courses enough...I've done them all!"
