It develops the learning gained in the POGP entry level course: The Childbearing Year.\n\nPOGP believe that your learning from this course will be greatly enhanced if you have attended the ‘Pregnancy Related Physiotherapy: the child bearing year - an entry-level course’ before participating in this MSK course. If you have not attended the Childbearing Year course then we recommend that you have a reasonable knowledge and clinical experience in the field of obstetrics and pelvic health.\n\nThis course will cover:\n\na contemporary understanding of pain science and implications for pregnancy\n\nspecial cases and obstetric red flags (a must for anyone working in obstetrics or keen to work with pregnant women)\n\nthe most up to date evidence for the assessment and treatment of pelvic girdle pain, low back pain, rectus abdominus diastasis and more.\n\nIt is a blended learning programme including self-directed online learning supported by two live evening sessions, which will be recorded if you cannot make it. The course culminates with a practical 2-day face to face teaching workshop. \n\nThe zoom sessions will be live and interactive and an opportunity to ask questions and discuss some of the challenges with this patient cohort. \n\nThe zoom sessions will not have repeated content and will include:\n\nPain and implications for pregnancy and postpartum\n\nRectus abdominus diastasis (DRAM) a full and comprehensive teaching\n\nSubjective assessment of the pregnant patient\n\nPelvic girdle pain - everything you thought you needed to know and more!\n\nA timetable of content and timings will be sent closer to the day.\n\nIt will not be possible to record the content of the day so attendance is required in real time in order to complete the workshop.\n\n \n\nCourse Goals:\n\n1. To prepare physiotherapists in being safe when working with pregnancy.\n\n2. To encourage physiotherapists to be curious with their learning, their patients and their treatment choices.\n\n3. To remind physiotherapists of the how the scientific method informs physiotherapy practice with people who are pregnant or postpartum.\n\n \n\nCourse objectives:\n\nThe course aims to equip the busy clinician with contemporary evidence informed assessment and treatment options for people presenting for physiotherapy during or following pregnancy.\n\nSpecifically to provide education on:\n\n• a contemporary understanding of pain and stress physiology and their implications for pregnancy physiotherapy practice.\n\n• evidence-based tools to assess the biological, physical, & psychosocial factors that contribute to pain, impairment, and disability of the people who seek physiotherapy help, within a biopsychosocial paradigm\n\n• hard and soft skills to help physiotherapists providing a service for pregnant people presenting with common musculoskeletal conditions using tools such as: education; hands on techniques; lifestyle; movement /exercise interventions within a biopsychosocial paradigm.\n\n \n\nLearning Outcomes:\n\nAt the end of all the course sections the participant will:\n\nUnderstand the physiological, psychological and social influences during pregnancy relevant to the physiotherapy management of pregnancy related spinal, pelvic girdle abdominal and other musculoskeletal problems.\n\nBe safe and aware of your role with the presentation of red flags and special considerations within pregnancy or post partum.\n\nBe confident in being able to adapt assessment and examination techniques of the common musculoskeletal assessment for the antenatal and postnatal woman\n\nDevelop and adapt a range of skills for the treatment of pregnancy and postnatal related musculoskeletal conditions.\n\nUnderstand and promote the physiotherapist’s role within the multidisciplinary team.\n\n \n\nPre-course preparation:\n\nThe pre-course sections will need to be completed prior to attendance at the live Zoom sessions and the live face to face workshop. They will only be available to access prior to the face to face sessions and the detail will not be covered outside of this window. You should allow around 8 hours to complete the pre-learning.
