THE IMPORTANCE OF PHYSICAL THERAPY DURING THE FOURTH TRIMESTER
3 Contact Hours – Approved in New Mexico
Speakers: Genevieve Richter, PT, DPT and Tara Sanford, PT, DPT, Board-Certified Clinical Specialist in Women’s Health Physical Therapy
COURSE DESCRIPTION
This is a 3-hour course designed to educate both orthopedic and pelvic floor physical therapists about the Fourth Trimester. The Fourth Trimester is the first 12 weeks after a baby is born, where both mother and baby have to adjust to many physical and emotional changes. Mothers have long been overlooked during this period; but what science tells us is that it is the most important time to lend support and guidance. Pelvic floor physical therapists have long advocated for women during this phase; and know the toll pregnancy and delivery have taken on the body. This course will teach about the physiological changes that occur during pregnancy and postpartum, how to assess and treat these changes, and learn when is appropriate to refer to a pelvic floor PT or other healthcare professional.
