Running is a complex biomechanical process which can be derailed by pelvic floor dysfunction. Conversely, the impact of running can result in pelvic floor dysfunction and injury to the pelvic floor muscles. Runners have unique physical, nutritional, and psychological needs that require special attention from pelvic floor physical therapists. Additionally, runners often present to orthopedic specialists with knee and hip injuries that do not resolve as expected due to the presence of pelvic floor impairments that are missed by orthopedic physical therapists. Pelvic floor and orthopedic practitioners can provide necessary physical therapy treatment to address issues for runners and work in tandem for optimal rehabilitation of runners with pelvic floor dysfunction.
good, lack of clinical cases; concrete trx plan with progression
Good introductory course
Interesting but the presenter doesn’t add anything to the powerpoint. The Powerpoint doesn’t offer any exercise images or is not very well done. I was expecting an idea for a running recovery program for someone who wants to get back to running properly with a pelvic floor problem. Nevertheless, I learned some interesting things.
It’s just a shame that the exercises demonstrated were not clearly visible.
