Course Description:

This course will focus on connections between common orthopedic dysfunction seen in clinical
practice to pelvic floor dysfunctions. Orthopedic conditions, such as back pain, hip pain,
orthopedic trauma and surgery, and diastasis recti abdominus cluster with pelvic floor
dysfunctions, such as incontinence and pelvic pain syndromes, in clinical practice.
Understanding the reasons why these co-morbidities cluster together will assist the clinician in
recognizing the orthopedic connections between dysfunctions of the pelvic floor with
dysfunctions of the spine, hip, and abdominal wall.
