Course overview
The research we explore in this podcast calls pelvic floor dysfunction a significant and neglected public health issue. The authors share a discouraging statistic: despite pelvic floor dysfunction impacting around 25% of women in the US, there is a profound lack of understanding of the disorder and how to treat it. The good news is that OTs are perfectly poised to help meet the needs of pelvic health patients! We'll use our primary research article to jumpstart our understanding of pelvic floor rehab, including how pelvic floor dysfunction impacts occupation. Then, it is my pleasure to welcome Lindsey Vestal of the Functional Pelvis to join us. Lindsey is truly a pioneer in promoting OT's role in pelvic health, and she will discuss her own practice providing pelvic floor rehab in people's homes. At the end, we'll also talk about the future of OT's role in pelvic health, including which trends you should be watching.
