Dr. Linda Bluestein "Hypermobility and the Pelvic Floor"

This is a recorded webinar. After purchasing the event you will receive an email with how to access!

Joint hypermobility and hypermobility disorders are frequently missed as contributing factors to problems in the pelvis such as pelvic floor prolapse and sexual dysfunction. We will cover hypermobility and related conditions and how they relate to these common problems.

 

The learner will be able to:

-Define joint hypermobility and hypermobility disorders.

-List ways in which hypermobility can impact the pelvic floor.

-Recognize the role of hypermobility plays in their patient's (or their own) pelvic floor problem(s).
