Free online coursePhysiotherapy in Pelvic Girdle

Course Description

This free online course supports you in understanding and managing common pelvic health challenges, with a strong focus on pelvic girdle pain in pregnancy and postpartum recovery. If daily tasks like walking, turning in bed, or getting in and out of a car feel uncomfortable, you will learn practical ways to reduce strain, move with more confidence, and apply simple self-treatment techniques to calm overactive or tense muscles around the pelvic girdle.

You will also build a clear, evidence-informed picture of urinary incontinence, including why it happens, what can trigger it, and how different types are commonly linked to life stages and changes in the body. The course explains pelvic floor function in an accessible way, helping you connect symptoms to biomechanics and habits that can be adjusted in real life, not just in theory.

Through guided pelvic floor muscle sessions, you will practice how to identify the correct muscles, avoid common technique errors, and develop consistency with both fast and slow contractions. The approach emphasizes control, breath, and safe progression so that improvements feel sustainable. You will explore strategies to regain bladder control and reduce leaking associated with pressure changes such as coughing or sneezing, using physiotherapy-based principles you can revisit whenever needed.

As the course moves into postnatal support, you will be guided through recovery-focused advice and structured exercise classes aimed at rebuilding stability, strength, and confidence after birth. The progression reinforces foundations first, then carefully increases challenge, helping you return to movement with better pelvic support and overall comfort. Whether you are currently pregnant, recently postpartum, or refreshing your knowledge for clinical or personal interest, you will finish with practical skills, a clearer understanding of pelvic health, and a plan you can apply day to day.
