Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy in Paediatrics (online)
Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy in Paediatrics
About the Course
At this time, there are very few pelvic floor physiotherapists across Canada who treat paediatric disorders. While this is partially due to a lack of related training, it may more importantly be due to the fact that the potential of our impact on this population is relatively unknown. This is an area of expertise with much promise.
This 2 day course, inspired by French kinesitherapist Guy Valancogne and given by Claudia Brown and Marie-Josée Lord, is designed to provide pelvic floor physiotherapists with the knowledge and tools necessary for the management of children suffering from various evacuation disorders.
This course involves theory only, with no practicals.
NOTE: This course can be taken in conjunction with the Physiotherapy Approach for Ano-Rectal Disorders
