Vulval Pain Society

We're inviting ALL women (afab) Internationally to complete this online questionnaire - both those with pelvic pain and without. It'll really help us to start understanding sensorimotor changes and building some groundwork for this being a potential target for physio treatment of pelvic pain. https://lnkd.in/ervDKgYF I'd really appreciate if you could have a go, share with your colleagues and friends, and with any patients with pelvic pain or without. Many thanks.

This is the remarkable Rajam Roose, the driving force behind the brilliant San Diego Pain Summit. For over a decade, Rajam has single-handedly curated an unparalleled conference experience for healthcare practitioners, researchers, and educators dedicated to making a difference for people living with persisting pain. 😢 Sadly, last week marked the end of an era for this inclusive and interdisciplinary gathering, due to financial constraints... With every aspect of putting the Summit together solely managed by Rajam, the unforeseen cancellations amid the pandemic have left the event financially vulnerable, with venue cancellation fees compounding the losses. 🌥️However, there is hope to preserve the San Diego Pain Summit. For those unable to attend this year, exclusive access to conference recordings is now available for just $75. Additionally, your generous contributions can help sustain this invaluable platform. 🙏🏽Our collective goal is to rally support by March 14th, ensuring that the Summit perseveres. Together, let's bridge the gap and uphold this essential resource. Learn more and contribute at https://lnkd.in/eG86hxvM). #SaveSDPS #PainScience

🤔There is too much confusion and conflicting information around treating pelvic pain. 📅This 2-day course updates participants on the current science of pain, manual therapy, sensory integration techniques for pelvic pain, pelvic neurodynamics, pleasure as a treatment aim, and progressive movement. It is suitable for all health professionals who treat people with pelvic pain. The optional internal component is open to all participants who have license to do vaginal and rectal examinations. ✅Participants will learn purposefully non-painful manual therapy techniques and neurodynamic options for the nerves of the abdomen, pelvis and upper leg. Labs will progress from acute to persistent pain treatment options and include education in self- treatment techniques for improved patient outcomes. Participants will be able to screen and design a progressive treatment for all of the major pelvic nerves. 🤓This course is full of movement and helps clinicians to push their creativity in order to design treatments for people who may be afraid to move. We explore Virtual Reality and creative adaptations as unexpected treatment options. Movement and exercise progression are emphasized include return to fitness and heavy load as appropriate and adaptations for Long Covid/ME/CFS are addressed. Participants will leave with ideas and applications for use in the clinic and for patient home programs. #physiotherapy #physiotherapist #fysiotherapie #fysiotherapeut #fysio #physio #bekkenfysio #pelvicphysio #pelvicpain #bekkenpijn #amsterdam #therapy
