About the Course:
Pudendal neuralgia and pudendal nerve entrapment. These diagnoses are often confusing to both patients and healthcare providers. Additionally, there are numerous differential diagnoses to consider with pelvic neuralgia symptoms.
Patients seek out the answers to these questions and often find there’s a wide variability in answers and level of expertise or understanding from health care providers:
- Do I have pudendal nerve neuralgia or entrapment?
- What are the best diagnostic tests for an accurate diagnosis?
- What type of treatment options are there?
- Is it worth getting blocks and injections? If so, what should I consider?
- What exercises are safe?
- Do I need surgery for this and what’s the best type of surgery?
Pelvic physiotherapists should be at the forefront of critical thinking, evaluation and treatment for these conditions.
This unique two-day course will provide the clinician with a better understanding of discerning the differential diagnosis of pudendal neuralgia and other conditions related to chronic pelvic pain. The focus will be on current diagnosis, evaluation and treatment techniques both from a physician perspective as well as a physiotherapy perspective. The labs will focus on palpation and treatment skills with regard to the pudendal nerve and surrounding structures that may be contributing to symptoms. This course will also highlight the various patient complaints/symptoms and provide tools and knowledge to treat patients along the continuum of care – surgery prevention to post-operative cases/protocols. This typically involves an eclectic, multi-modal, and multidisciplinary approach.
There are key elements of this course that will positively impact the clinician’s clinical thinking and hands-on skills:
- Clinical pearls and functional anatomy tips that can be applied immediately.
- Practical explanations and examples of how to integrate the latest in pain science research into the full continuum of care for these types of patients. This involves much more than simply “explaining pain”. Integrating language, actions, and home programs to facilitate this effect.
- Case study discussions and longer lab times.
What people are saying about this course:
“Tracy Sher, you are an amazing instructor! You surpassed my expectations and I can’t wait to take more courses from you!”
“Never have I felt so exhilerated after a pelvic floor course! I am so fortunate to have had the opportunity to learn from Tracy Sher and am absolutely planning on taking more of her courses. She perfectly integrated the biopsychosocial approach to complex pelvic pain. Total game changer!”
“Thank you for providing a quality course with evidence based research and molding it together with years of clinical experience. Tracy is like our fairy godmother creating us into beautiful pelvic floor prince & princess’ with the wave of her dilators and sending us off to the pudendal neuralgia ball.”
“This course is great in giving you a broader scope to explore with your pelvic pain patients. It helps you think outside the box and gives you the tools and understanding to tackle these more challenging clients. I love Tracy’s approach to treatment and hearing her case studies and reviewing case studies of us students was really helpful too.”
“I thought this course would be a good review of basic pelvic PT. It exceeded my expectations. Tracy is a wealth of knowledge and is more than willing to share her techniques to help make us all better practitioners. I highly recommend this course no matter what level of experience you have.”
