Royal College of Chiropractors CPD Event – Exploring Post-Natal Rehabilitation through a Biopsychosocial Lens

Webinar Outline

This webinar will explore post-natal rehabilitation through a biopsychosocial lens. We will be considering how the birth experience may help or hinder recovery depending on the patient’s perception of their peri-natal experience. Together we will delve into the wonders of the functional pelvic floor and how to identify dysfunction. We will look at the current evidence around how to safely return your patient to the physical activity they’re aiming for and how to assess and manage Diastasis Rectus Abdominis (DRA); is it about closing the gap? Finally, we will discuss new approaches to managing pelvic girdle and low back pain in the post-natal population.

Learning Outcomes

• Confidence in assessing / screening your post natal patient
• Knowing when to refer on
• Awareness of current guidelines in safely returning to physical activity
• Awareness of new approaches in management of DRA and PGLBP
