Overview & Schedule of Courses
For over 20 years Holly Herman and Kathe Wallace have been providing continuing education seminars to physical therapists nationwide. Together, they have developed the first comprehensive pelvic floor education program in the United States. Each course sequentially builds on specific skills and techniques for the comprehensive evaluation and treatment of pelvic floor and pelvic girdle dysfunctions. These 2-3 day courses use a combination of lecture and labs to integrate external and internal soft tissue treatment techniques. The evidence-based course material prepares the therapist to meet the needs of the orthopedic, geriatric, neurologic, colorectal, urologic, obstetric and gynecologic patient population. The course-work is immediately applicable to any clinical setting.
