Pelvic health can significantly influence occupational participation, quality of life, intimacy, self-care, sleep, social participation, and other meaningful daily activities. This video journal club provides OT practitioners with an evidence-informed discussion of pelvic floor rehabilitation and the occupational therapy practitioner’s role within pelvic health.

Using current literature as the foundation for discussion, the course explores pelvic floor dysfunction through an occupational lens while addressing clinical reasoning, scope of practice, interdisciplinary collaboration, referral considerations, and opportunities for occupational therapy intervention

 The conversational journal club format is designed to translate research into practical considerations that OT practitioners can apply when recognizing pelvic health concerns and supporting participation in meaningful occupations.

Target Audience: Occupational therapists, occupational therapy assistants, occupational therapy students

Presented by: Carl Robinson Jr., MS, OTR/L
