Pediatric Pelvic Health: Dynamic Core for Kids Edition Day 2 (In-person)
23 Oct - 23 Oct 2026 @ Montreal Quebec
Participants will have the opportunity to explore both functional, movement-based assessment tools, as well as, hands-on external assessment of diaphragm and pelvic floor function for application in appropriate cases. Assessment of abdominal wall integrity, the significance of congenital Diastasis Recti Abdominis on continence and balance as well as treatment options and treatment progression will be explored.
(Attendance on Day One is a prerequisite to attendance on Day Two.)
On completion of Day Two, the participant will be able to:
- Demonstrate a basic level of skill in assessment of components of the central control system – Diaphragm, Transversus Abdominis, and Pelvic Floor (including external palpation).
- Articulate and identify functional and movement pattern deficits that reflect the interrelationship of central control and continence deficits.
- Discuss and devise intervention strategies that address balance, gait, postural control, and movement inefficiencies that simultaneously offer continence control support.
- Demonstrate a basic level of skill in assessment of Congenital DRA.
- Develop intervention strategies to manage Congenital DRA in different age groups/physical capabilities.
Co-taught with Shelley Mannell PT, BSc, BHSc, C/NDT, SI(C) and Julie Wiebe PT, DPT
