Overview

Intraabdominal pressure (IAP) can be the bogeyman of the pelvic world. A few common myths: "It's bad for you", "you'll make your prolapse worse", "it's the reason why you have incontinence"

In this course, Antony Lo will introduce you to concepts relevant to strength training and IAP with a pelvic health focus. Antony has a background as a physiotherapist in both pelvic health and orthopedics, making him well-suited to understanding and teaching about how they interact. He uses an evidence-based biopsychosocial approach to his practice and uses a case study in this course to walk through each concept.

Antony touches on what past research says, which has used mostly male participants, and his interpretation of the findings. He talks about how to educate your patients about IAP and how it functions and changes in their daily lives. Finally, he discusses some general exercise principles for strength training.

  • What IAP is and what we know about its effects on strength training and pelvic health
  • Principles we can use to help patients with IAP
