Fit and athletic females* experience pelvic health symptoms at high rates with negative impacts on their performance, training longevity, physical and mental health, and quality of life. Yet many rehabilitation professionals lack the confidence to assess or address them within their clinical settings. Sports medicine and orthopedic providers are rarely trained to include pelvic health, pregnancy, or postpartum variables in their differential diagnoses or return to play programming. Often, they are only empowered to screen and refer. At the same time, pelvic health providers may have limited exposure to the strategies required to progress fit and athletic folks back to fitness, training, or sport. The result is a siloed, less effective model of care: pelvic, pregnancy, and postpartum health needs are untreated, screened and referred (often in pelvic practitioner deserts), or isolated from movement and training programs. Fit and athletic folks are left without resolution, support, or guidance back to play or optimal performance. Our practice patterns must evolve.

Designed to equip sports medicine and pelvic health providers with a dual skill set, this course offers an un-siloed, middle ground.

• Practitioners will gain a structured thought process to interpret biopsychosocial histories, pelvic health screens, in-sport symptom behavior, and movement analysis to build well-reasoned programs for recreational to elite athletes across the lifespan.
• Participants are introduced to a contemporary pelvic health model that integrates pelvic floor strength, power, coordination, and endurance into fitness and sport preparation rather than treating them in isolation.
• Drawing on familiar movement and conditioning principles such as graded exposure, progressive overload, impact and pressure management, and exercise scaling, this course provides a practical, coachable framework for pelvic health.
• Providers will learn to apply a systems-based thought processes to develop individualized, sport-specific progressions grounded in the whole-athlete presentation.

(This course offers externally focused, indirect, movement-base, and integrative assessment and intervention strategies only. This course does not provide direct, internal assessment or intervention tools.)

Course Instructor: Dr. Julie Wiebe, PT, DPT

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

1. Describe the anatomical, and neurophysiological inter-relationships that provide interventional bridges between pelvic, musculoskeletal, and performance health.
2. Gain an understanding of the etiology and symptomatology associated with a broad range of pelvic health conditions across the lifespan commonly experienced by female-bodied athletes beyond urinary incontinence (painful sex, pelvic pain, pelvic organ prolapse, diastasis recti, gut issues).
3. Develop an individualized whole-athlete pelvic health risk profile based on biopsychosocial variables – age-specific co-factors, physical and pregnancy history, genetics, fueling, sleep, stress, fitness/training history, and kinesiophobia.
4. Interpret pelvic health screen findings and in-sport symptom patterns to develop a clinical hypothesis that supports exercise selection, loading strategies, and return-to-play progressions.
5. Analyze movement, fitness, and sport demands to identify symptom triggers and patterns to identify clinical and conditioning opportunities to coordinate the pelvic floor into fitness and athletic movements.
6. Create setting-specific interventions that integrate the pelvic floor into three different types of sport-specific movement patterns appropriate for early rehab.
7. Apply concepts of graded exposure, progressive overload, impact and pressure management, and/or exercise scaling to progress pelvic floor tissue adaption, load or impact tolerance, and coordination in three different sport-specific demands.
8. Build communication tools to bridge collaboration gaps and re-imagine referral patterns with pelvic health, orthopedic, sports medicine, strength and conditioning, and sports dietician disciplines to support un-siloed, athlete-centered care across the lifespan.
9. Value abdomino-pelvic health as an essential component of comprehensive, whole athlete care.

This is a live, in-person, 2-day course with practical application opportunities via labs and case studies. All participants will be required to complete an online module with conceptual introductory material prior to attending the in-person professional course. This will allow in-person time together to be well-spent on deeper concepts. In addition, participants are expected to bring a client case to review and potentially share with the group, with written patient consent.

Course material is intended for Physical Therapists/Physiotherapists, credentialed Athletic Trainers/Therapists, Exercise Therapists, Kinesiologists, medical providers in all areas of adult care (urology, orthopedics, sports medicine, pain, women’s health, etc.), and strength and conditioning specialists (CSCS).

Topics will include:
