The Pregnant Pelvis

We zijn verheugd dat Angela James in tegenstelling tot vorig jaar de cursus nu live bij ons op locatie (Theater Koningshof) komt verzorgen.

The primary intention of this course is to help you achieve better outcomes for women presenting with pregnancy related pelvic girdle pain (PPGP). Using current scientific evidence, you’ll review the functional anatomy and biomechanics of the pelvic girdle and physiological changes relevant to PPGP. This course has a large focus on the practical application of specific physiotherapy skills you need to effectively manage PPGP.

Inhoud

You’ll learn specific assessment and treatment techniques for PPGP including the sacroiliac and pubic symphysis joints. You’ll also understand how to prescribe exercises and the relevant contra-indications for your patients and discuss updated evidence on pelvic floor muscle dysfunction with PPGP. At the end of the course you’ll review a case study to demonstrate and reinforce the clinical reasoning process behind effectively managing patients with PPGP.

This course will also discuss the importance of using a biopsychosocial framework when managing women with PR-PGP.
