Information

The Pelvic PT Clinical Skills Boot Camp with Transgender Specialty Focus is designed to help you increase your clinical skills and comfort in helping pelvic health patients in a short amount of time.

✅ Geared towards immediately improving your clinical skills and critical thinking skills

✅ Full of clinical pearls that you won’t see in the standard pelvic health series courses

✅ We cover many topics related to pelvic health for women and men – bowel, bladder, pelvic pain, postnatal and so much more. (Yes – there’s usually a male model for a demo at this course!)

✅ Plenty of time for your questions and individual case studies

✅ Increased lab time assures you will feel confident about identifying anatomy and treatment techniques

✅ Learn how to integrate the latest research into clinical applications and language with patients

✅ Ideal for relatively new to intermediate-level pelvic therapists or physicians or ARNPs who want to learn more about the musculoskeletal components of pelvic floor

✅ Ideal for pelvic PTs who feel like they are doing the same treatment for years and want to learn new ways to enhance their clinical practices

✅ Have a low faculty to student ratio of no greater than 8:1

The transgender portion of this Pelvic Guru Boot Camp course is designed to be an authentic, educational conversation. We’re going to talk about some things that are challenging and work through some of our collective discomfort together in a safe, supportive space. When we can change our perspective, the transgender patient no longer seems like “the other”. Instead, we can learn to lead from a place where we offer all of our patients a chance to tell the story of their body on their own terms… knowing that the medical provider in front of them can treat them as the ENTIRE person that they are.

The research for pelvic PT on this population is lacking and instead of trying to piece together an incomplete story, we’re going to focus on how the clinical skills we have and the research we know already apply. The true learning offered is for participants to be more comfortable in a social context with discussing some of the most challenging topics with trans patients… genitals.

It’s going to be fun and it’s going to be challenging. Come curious and with an open mind.
