Overview & Schedule of 2009 - 2010 Courses
Our 2010 Schedule is being updated as the course locations and dates are confirmed. We are adding additional course dates to accommodate the needs and demands of the physical therapy community. We keep our users updated on our course offerings through our newsletter. Please register to join our mailing list and receive notifications about our continuously-expanding 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.
If you have taken the series before we divided the PF 2 into PF 2A and PF 2B please consider retaking the course which may meet your clinical need the most. We expanded the courses because of the large amount of evidence-based research that has been published since 2004. You may also go on to take PF 3 if you feel comfortable with the course prerequisites.
Herman & Wallace continuing education courses are, first and foremost, intended for physical therapists. However, as we at the Institute see ourselves as a resource for many healthcare practitioners, exceptions will be made to include other professionals in our courses - in keeping with our commitment to spreading knowledge of pelvic floor health to new audiences. The following individuals may also participate in our continuing education courses: Physical Therapy Assistants, Registered Nurses, MDs, Occupational Therapists.
