Physical Therapy for Labor and Birth Webinar

The Physical Therapy for Labor and Birth (OB-Intra Webinar) is a fully virtual course designed to empower physical therapy professionals with advanced, evidence-based skills to support patients with labor and birth. Delivered in an interactive live webinar format, the course equips participants with an in-depth understanding of how specific physical therapy interventions during the antepartum and intrapartum periods may affect birth outcomes and postpartum maternal health. 

Key topics include:

• Anatomic considerations of the maternal pelvis
• Labor and birth considerations for various comorbidities, including orthopedic conditions
• Causes and management of dysfunctional labor
• Psychosocial factors influencing childbirth
• Clinical considerations for vaginal and cesarean delivery

Comprehensive, expert-led instruction includes practical, evidence-based knowledge and advanced skills to provide therapeutic and educational support to pregnant patients. Interactive case discussions will allow participants to collaborate and apply clinical reasoning skills in real-world scenarios.

By the end of this course, participants will have a robust understanding of how to optimize maternal movement, manage dysfunctional labor, and apply biomechanical and orthopedic principles to support positive birth experiences.

After completing this webinar, participants are eligible for the Physical Therapy for Labor and Birth Lab (OB-Intra Lab).
