Women's Health & Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy Workshop
Presented by: Nadia Philipenko BSc Kin, MPT

Have you heard about pelvic floor? What do you know about your own pelvic floor? The pelvic floor is a network of muscles, ligaments, and tissue, which together make up the floor of the pelvis or core. The pelvic floor has an integral role in core system function, working cohesively with the pelvis, low back, diaphragm, and abdomen to name a few.

Pelvic floor physiotherapy involves the assessment and treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction.  Assessment is detailed and can include the following areas of lifestyle, mobility and muscle strength, joint biomechanics, movement strategies, breathing and more!

Many pelvic floor related issues can be associated with weak or overly tense pelvic floor muscles, core system imbalance, and regional compensations.

Who would benefit from Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy? If you identify with or experience any of the following, you may benefit from pelvic floor physiotherapy:

• Individuals of any level of physical activity or exercise training: safety clearance, exercise modification and progression with core considerations
• Pregnancy (including pregnancy preparation) and childbirth history
• Muscle weakness: pelvic floor, hip or abdominal muscle strength, diastasis recti (separation of abdominal muscles)
• Incontinence (aka bladder or bowel leakage) or urgency: 1 in 3 women leak urine when they don’t want to or when they cough, sneeze, laugh, lift, or exercise; some experience a sense of urgency to urinate
• Nocturia (waking multiple times a night to urinate)
• Vaginal Prolapse
• Pain in the back, pelvis, hips, knees, feet

This workshop will help you develop a clear understanding of what the pelvic floor is, its primary function, common dysfunctions, and actions you can take for a healthier pelvic floor.

As always, there will be promotional offers for those in attendance! We hope to hear from you and any friends that would enjoy an evening of entertainment and education. Forward or share this link with anyone you feel would enjoy this workshop so they can register and learn as well.
