Resource Package - Female and Male Urinary Incontinence

CA$129.99

Overview:

Urinary incontinence is an important health issue that has traditionally not been well managed.

One in four women and one in nine men are affected by urinary incontinence.

Ongoing research into core dynamics recognizes the pelvic floor as an important component of core retraining, and yet, accurate assessment and treatment techniques of the pelvic floor are lacking in clinical practice.

Hypertonicity vs. hypotonicity of these muscles needs to be addressed through palpatory assessment of the pelvic floor.

The Cochrane Collaboration (2010) has demonstrated that internal pelvic floor muscle training has Level 1 evidence in treating urinary incontinence. Physiotherapists need to go beyond teaching externally driven Kegels in order to effectively rehabilitate the pelvic floor.

This is the online research package that complements the Pelvic Health Solutions (PHS) Level 1 course. In this resource package, you will have access to video exercises, written education and protocols which you can share with patients (an Embodia Membership is required to prescribe exercises).

 

What's Included:

  • Course resources 
  • 34 patient exercises
  • 26 patient education
  • 5 templates/protocols
  • Lifetime access to the resources

Pelvic Health Solutions

Pelvic Health Solutions (PHS) is an evidence-based teaching company that aims to educate and empower physiotherapists, healthcare professionals, and everyday people about pelvic health.

PHS was founded in 2010 out of the need to develop pelvic health resources in Ontario at a time when it was an under-serviced health concern. PHS provides continuing education courses, mentoring, and clinical resources for a variety of practitioners with the goal of equipping them to deliver evidence-based, biopsychosocial assessment and treatment of pelvic health problems in our province and abroad.

Our company also exists as a way to connect people experiencing pelvic health concerns to pelvic health physiotherapists in their area. PHS has ultimately blossomed into a community of curious people who are committed to providing hope and healing to those who suffer from pelvic health issues.
