Pelvic Health Unfiltered - What OT really looks like in Pelvic Rehab

This practice chat will provide an overview of occupational therapy’s role in pelvic rehabilitation and a clinical approach that differs from other approaches.

We will review what a typical pelvic health evaluation looks like, discuss a range of treatment options, and explore examples of both successful outcomes and challenging cases from practice.

The session will also briefly cover occupational therapy considerations for pregnant, postpartum, and acute postpartum patients.

We will conclude with guided discussion questions and an open forum for clinical and practice-related questions.
