Pelvic Floor Midwives Evening

Once every three months in your local area, Rachel Foux and a local women's health physiotherapist will host a training evening on women’s Pelvic Floor Health for health professionals. The aim of this evening is to offer midwives, nurses and health visitors the opportunity to seek further education and resources to support the female pelvic floor.

From experience, we recognize that it can be challenging to find the time or the confidence to discuss sexual health issues with clients. Yet most of us would agree, that the pelvic floor is an important contributor to the overall mental, physical and emotional well being of our clients and a subject that shouldn’t be over looked, particularly during pregnancy or menopause.

Sexual pain, incontinence and loss of desire can all be symptomatic of pelvic floor dysfunction and we aim to empower you, during the course of this evening, to find more opportune moments to support your clients.

Our physiotherapist will revise how to instruct your clients to perform effective pelvic floor exercises and how best to give a simple internal evaluation of the condition of their pelvic floor. Meantime Rachel will suggest how to listen for client hints about their sex or relationship problems, why this is so relevant and how to feel more confident about addressing all sexual health issues.

There will also be time for questions and discussion as well as an update of pelvic floor resources including a demonstration of latest pelvic floor aides for toning.

The evening will run from 19:00 - 22:00 at the Weston Branch Booking is essential. Cost £15 per person and includes refreshments. Dates to be confirmed
