Overview:

Have you ever wondered if your advice is harming women who want to exercise?

We were taught to "do no harm" but what if the things we have been taught actually do MORE harm than we think?

I have found that identifying and then challenging Biases And Assumptions (BAAs) as well as my Beliefs, Attitudes, Meaning, and Stories (BAMS) has helped me understand how I can help empower women with pelvic floor conditions to achieve their goals and remain as evidence-based as possible.

This course will deal with 5 common beliefs that I held and how in flipping the way we look at the issue, we can help generate change, relieve the pressure we feel from being the one to "solve their problems" and continue to promote an evidence-based approach to helping female athletes of all ages and abilities navigate around the various issues they face - to meet them where they are at.

When we consider the research as well as thinking outside the pelvis, there are many reasons we might be able to flip the script on the advice we give people.


Let me tell you about Julie, someone who actually subluxed her SIJ (verified on X-Ray), and also has pelvic organ prolapse amongst other things. She had debilitating symptoms from carrying her 1-year-old child 100-200m but no symptoms when running or carrying her 6-year-old child...I'll just let that sink in for a second...what would you say is going on?

Obviously, Julie isn't making her symptoms up - why would she?! So if it isn't in her head, what is it?

The 5 Key Concepts I will be presenting in this course will take you through Julie's story and how you can help female athletes just like her.


Objectives:

By the end of this course you will be able to:

  1. Identify some of your own biases and assumptions about female athletes and exercises
  2. Determine areas of your work that may require reframing to ensure you are truly empowering the person who is seeking your assistance
  3. Develop simple but effective changes in your thinking, knowledge, assessment and management skills to help your female athletes even more than you do now
  4. Recognize different attitudes towards higher intensity exercises and what to do about them
  5. Implement these changes with your next female athlete client
