About the Event

Kick off your morning with caffeine, connection, and evidence-based practice! Join the Academy of Pelvic Health for a relaxed, interactive review of current pelvic health research. During this informal gathering, we will dive into the findings of the systematic review and meta-analysis titled, "Impact of Postpartum Exercise on Pelvic Floor Disorders and Diastasis Recti Abdominis." Together, we will dissect the latest literature, examine how postpartum movement guidelines affect patient outcomes, and translate complex data into practical care. Complimentary beverages and light bites will be provided—just bring your clinical insights, your questions, and an appetite for fresh research. We look forward to seeing you there!

  3. Engage in Interactive Discussion: Share clinical insights, debate research findings, and discuss real-world patient cases with fellow pelvic health practitioners during a dedicated Q&A.
