Pelvic Health Physical Therapy Level 3 Pediatrics Webinar

The Pelvic Health Physical Therapy Level 3 Pediatrics (PH3-Peds) course supports an evidence-based curriculum designed to provide clinically relevant information and training for the examination, evaluation, and intervention of pelvic floor dysfunction as presented in typically-developing pediatric patients. Topics will address early development of bowel and bladder control, toileting training, and typical diagnoses such as urinary incontinence, bedwetting, constipation, fecal incontinence, adolescent conditions, and other considerations relevant to the pediatric population. Transitory information for treatment of the atypically-developing pediatric patient will be presented.

Participants will be provided with resources and training for age-specific communication strategies, navigation with family/provider dynamics, and avenues for supporting pediatric pelvic health in the patient’s home, school, recreation, and community. Skills acquired will include evaluation and treatment techniques specific to pediatric patients, including discussion of methods for visualization, palpation, and examination of the pelvic floor. Clinical decision-making capabilities and an integration of skills acquired in prior level coursework will be included. Skills can be immediately applied in your clinic. Please review the course agenda for a detailed list of topics.

This course is composed of 2 days of synchronous online instruction via webinar. Successful completion will meet the expectation for the PH3 level requirement to pursue the Certificate of Achievement in Pelvic Physical Therapy (CAPP-Pelvic). 

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