About the Event

Do you work with women with Pelvic Organ Prolapse?

If you work with any woman, the answer is likely YES. Statistics suggest that around 50% of all women will experience pelvic organ prolapse, with most getting their diagnosis during pregnancy, post partum or menopause years.

These women are often extremely concerned about their condition and are told to stop exercising to keep symptoms from getting worse. This advice is not only impractical ( how can a Mom live without lifting anything more than 10lbs when her baby weighs 12 lbs ??) but also harmful to the long term health of the woman. Inevitably, these women end up in physical therapy because they are in pain or because they feel too weak to perform duties of childcare. 

Prolapse does not kill women. However, inactivity does. There is a desperate need for fitness professional who are confident and informed about the pelvic health and can train women with POP for building strength and resilience.

This Masterclass will dive deep into pelvic organ prolapse and prepare fitness/wellness professionals to work with these clients confidently.

If you’re a personal trainer, a yoga teacher or a birth professional works with pregnant women, this webinar is for you. 

You will learn about the risk factors for prolapse and understand which one of your clients may be more likely to develop prolapse. Looking in-depth at each risk factor helps guide us to best practices when working with women.

Prolapse diagnosis is a difficult one to cope with , especially in post partum chapter when there are many other challenges of motherhood. Fitness and wellness professionals are in perfect position to help women understand their condition and promote active lifestyle.
