Pelvic Health & Related Conditions
Module 4 of Our Women’s Health Series
From Symptom to Structure: A Clinical Framework for Female Pelvic Health
Pelvic floor dysfunction is one of the most common — and most commonly missed — presentations in allied health practice.
Women with urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, bowel changes, and prolapse symptoms walk into your clinic regularly, often presenting with a chief complaint of hip pain, low back pain, or postpartum issues. Most practitioners recognize the connection. Fewer have a structured, scope-appropriate framework to actually assess and treat it.
This pelvic health course gives you that exact type of framework to assess and treat what's in your caseload — and know exactly when to refer.

A Complete External Assessment Framework
From intake to interpretation, including validated screening tools, bladder diaries, external palpation and breathing assessment, you'll have a systematic, reproducible approach to pelvic health assessment that fits within your scope and complements your existing clinical reasoning.
Confident Management of the Conditions You're Already Seeing
Urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, pelvic pain, overactive bladder, endometriosis, bowel dysfunction and sexual dysfunction. This module covers the conditions that frequently underlie the presentations already in your caseload, with practical guidance on when to treat, how to treat and when to refer.
A Clearer Referral Lens &
Collaborative Practice
Understanding what's within external scope — and what isn't — makes you a more effective practitioner and a more valued colleague. You'll leave with clear referral criteria, a co-management framework, and the clinical vocabulary to communicate meaningfully with pelvic health specialists.

The Certification Difference
Demonstrated Competency
Assessment-based, not attendance-based.
The credential means you've demonstrated competency — not just sat through the hours. You'll complete a high standard certification criteria. That distinction matters to your patients, your colleagues, and the public you serve.
Integrative Care Model
A collaborative scope across the female lifespan.
Five connected modules — puberty, fertility, perinatal, pelvic health, menopause — so you see how patterns in one life stage shape the next and how health disciplines intersect to provide the best possible care.
Professional Credibility
Built by clinicians, for clinicians.
Evidence-informed content delivered by practitioners who work with these patients every week — and who respect your unique expertise. You'll become a part of a network and community that promotes excellence in practice.
Who This Is For:
Physiotherapists · Chiropractors · Osteopathic Practitioners · Registered Massage Therapists · Athletic Therapists · Naturopathic Doctors · Occupational Therapists · Nurses
Any other manual therapy or health practitioner who sees pelvic health concerns in their caseload.
It's the right fit if you:

- Want to assess and treat pelvic floor dysfunction within your own scope, and know clearly when and to whom to refer
- Work with people across the whole lifespan, from children and teens to athletes and older adults, not only in pregnancy and postpartum
- Want to talk comfortably with your patients about bladder, bowel, pain and sexual function
- Believe the best outcomes happen when disciplines work together, and want to be a stronger part of your patients' circle of care
