What Every Clinician Should Know About Pelvic Health in Sport

Overview

This webinar is an introduction to pelvic health in sports physiotherapy - an overview of the issues facing female athletes throughout the lifespan, screening strategies to identify problems and an evidence based overview for solutions.

What is the prevalence of pelvic health dysfunction? (and what does that mean?) Who is affected? Is this just a postnatal issue or are nulliparous athletes affected? Is REDs a driver? How can sports/msk clinicians screen for this? Does every athlete need an internal exam to determine the dysfunction? Is there any evidence?!

We'll look at pelvic health from a menstrual, maternal and perimenopausal perspective and how pelvic health can impact sport/exercise participation, and we'll address how to sensitively ask the questions and provide the answers.
