Course Description: 

A comprehensive course on functional core and pelvic floor rehabilitation for senior clients. Functional core and pelvic floor rehab that shifts the mindset of the physical and occupational therapist away from exercises and treatment strategies and into function and real life meaningful movement.  Learn a practical and effective approach to treating common but life impacting symptoms that impact many senior clients including; low back pain, collapsed posture, constipation, weak and unstable core, diastasis recti, pelvic pain, hip pain, pelvic instability, stress and urge incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, prostate dysfunction, abdominal hernias, constipation and more.
