What Others Say

  • As a new grad navigating the world of pelvic health, I am grateful for the opportunities that the Academy of Pelvic Health Physical Therapy provides, especially the free webinars and journal clubs, to further my education and dive deeper into topics that were not addressed in school. - Julie Haake
  • The Academy has opened opportunities for both educational and career growth for me. - Theresa Lugatiman
  • The meetings I have attended since becoming a volunteer with the Academy have been led with enthusiastic and passionate fellow pelvic health physical therapists. There is a general attitude of positivity and gratitude that I really appreciate. The webinars provided by the Journal Club have been so evidence-based, informative, and engaging. They have helped me to feel connected to the pelvic PT community during this difficult time when we are all so distanced from each other. And best of all, they are free! - Anonymous
  • The Academy is changing the conversations around pelvic health best practices. Thank you! - Christian Appel, PT, DPT, OCS
  • Being involved with the Academy of Pelvic Health PT is such a gift. The community of Academy therapists pushes one to learn, grow and make an impact in pelvic health. - Kristi Kliebert
