Pelvic Health Physical Therapy Level 2 Bowel Dysfunction Webinar

The PH2 (Pelvic Health Physical Therapy Level 2) consists of three separate required courses: PH2PP Webinar, PH2BD Webinar, and PH2 Lab. To advance to the PH2BD Webinar, one must have successfully completed PH1 (either PH1 Webinar/PH1 Lab or PH1 Combined). The PH2BD Webinar is one of the required prerequisites for the PH2 Lab course.

In this course, we teach physical therapy professionals lectures on anatomy, pathophysiology and physical therapy evaluation/treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction-related bowel dysfunction. Topics covered include pelvic floor muscle motor control training, rectal balloon training, coccygeal mobilization, and clinical application of modalities. This course teaches the physical therapy professional basic skills necessary to treat patients with pelvic health dysfunction, with primary emphasis on underactive pelvic floor muscle conditions.

Please carefully review each course’s individual description, objectives, time-ordered agenda, and lab requirements before registering.
