Introduction

Many female clients who require pelvic health physiotherapy may present with trauma, shame, embarrassment or other emotions associated with their condition. Thus, it is necessary to establish an environment which ensures your clients feel relaxed and safe during a pelvic health consultation. The clinic setting, interviewing techniques and your approach to evaluation and management will all have an impact on your client. This course provides an overview of techniques that can enhance your evaluation of female pelvic health clients before introducing treatments that can be beneficial for this client group.
