Overview

Chronic constipation (CC) and fecal incontinence are common disorders, reported in 14% of the general population. Both conditions can be related to anorectal neuromuscular sensory and/or motor dysfunction.

Pelvic floor dyssynergia (dyssynergic defecation (DD)) is found in at least one-third of patients with chronic constipation. We have recently reported that patients’ self-report constipation symptoms using a standardized questionnaire are useful in predicting DD in patients with CC.

This online course will present the utility of clinical history along with digital rectal examination to determine the DD in patients presented with CC. This would allow clinicians to make a timely diagnosis to implement an appropriate treatment program, including biofeedback therapy, or referral for further investigation with ARM and BET.

The instructors
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.
