We’re passionate about developing our profession for all. To us, that looks like supporting pelvic health physios who are new to practice or who don’t have the support of a team around them. We are lucky to have a team to lean on, and we want to share everything we’ve learned with you, too.

We keep this page up to date with our current course offerings; please check back often or contact us for more information.

Pelvic Health Fundamentals 

Practicing pelvic health physio in a clinic requires sooo much more than what you learn in school and your first internal courses. To bridge the gap between theory and practice, we designed this course for practicing pelvic health physios who need help with clinical application.

Recognizing that each physio has their own unique approach, we teach simple reasoning frameworks so you can confidently plug and play your learning right away when it comes to client presentations.

Course dates: To be announced (stay tuned!)

You’ll learn about:

  • Pregnancy, birth prep and postpartum: How to assess and treat pregnant clients, using evidence-based education to support them in optimizing birth outcomes, and treating through the immediate postpartum period.

  • Stress incontinence, overactive bladder, prolapse and basic bowel presentations: Understand the differential diagnosis for musculoskeletal and bio-psychosocial contributors to SUI, OAB, prolapse, and simple bowel issues. You'll leave with a roadmap for each condition, and practice working through how they can relate to each other.

  • Vulvo-vaginal pain: Understand how to assess and treat the contributing factors for vulvo-vaginal pain, including vulvodynia, vaginismus, and dyspareunia.

We want you to walk away confident, knowing:

  • What’s actually relevant (and not) for your internal pelvic assessment

  • Common whole body patterns that contribute to pelvic floor issues

  • Clarity and structure for clinical reasoning

  • How to create treatment plans to full recovery

Schedule:

  • Week 1: Client relations, trust, and buy-in

  • Week 2: Prenatal and birth prep

  • Week 3: Postpartum

  • Week 4: Prolapse

  • Week 5: SUI

  • Week 6: OAB/frequency/urgency

  • Week 7: Bowel basics

  • Week 8: Vulvo-vaginal pain

Course fee: $998

Course structure: 8 live online classes (recordings available), interspersed with 6 x 60-minute open office hour sessions to dive deeper into course content.

  • "I had just entered the wonderful world of pelvic health and had taken a few courses but felt I was missing that real life component. I'm so glad that we found the Cheerful Pelvis to fill in that gap. We got to work on cases, trouble shoot, brainstorm and be vulnerable together. I've been in the industry for several years now and having a community to lift each other up is what we need to move the profession forward. Thank you Anniken, Trish and the Cheerful Pelvis for leading that charge."

    - Jessie Wong, Physiotherapist and Regional Director of Myodetox

  • "The mentorship service provided by the cheerful pelvis has enriched and developed my practice more than four 90 minute sessions have any right to do. The depth of knowledge shared and the curious/compassionate environment cultivated by TCP allowed us to grow together in a profession where we can often feel pitted against each other and judged for our weaknesses."

    - Shannon Boyle

  • "Trish and Anniken are amazing therapists, clinical minds and people. They offer a supportive learning environment and a space where you can ask any question without judgement. They work to teach you specific knowledge but also how to dig from within to use your own clinical reasoning to problem solve."

    - Past Participant

  • "When I completed my pelvic floor certification, I felt quite daunted by the task of providing quality care for my clients. Despite there being a large number of resources offered through my training, I felt like I was "on my own" to figure things out. The Cheerful Pelvis mentoring sessions created an amazing sense of community, facilitating learning of both clinical reasoning and knowledge in a safe, friendly, and supportive container. Everything was well-organized, from the scheduling and timing of each session to the content delivery itself."

    - Past Participant

  • "I really enjoyed this virtual mentorship series, not only did I learn a lot from the material and discussion itself, I found it very valuable to engage with practitioners who are in a similar place in their practice as I am."

    - Past Participant

  • "Thanks again for a great session, it truly came at a time when I was feeling quite lost in terms of getting past the knowledge that I had accrued from the PHS levels but not really knowing where to do next and as I said with pelvic floor when I'm in my office all the time I don't always get to chat or pick up things from other therapists and it is something I miss about working in an open ortho space so I found these sessions invaluable. Both Anniken and Trish were wonderful teachers and very different which I found helpful."

    - Past Participant

  • "Mentorship with Anniken and Trish has helped me grow significantly as a physiotherapist. As someone newer to pelvic health, it was really easy to fall into autopilot mode and a "check box" approach to treatment when faced with difficult cases. However, mentorship really challenged me to critically think and understand the "why" behind what I was doing. I feel like this has increased my confidence as a physio and the effectiveness of the care I am providing, as well as it has improved how well I connect with my patients. Most importantly, Anniken and Trish have created such a supportive and safe space to be curious, learn, and ask questions (many!)."

    - TCP Employee

  • "The Cheerful Pelvis mentorship series is perfect for pelvic floor physiotherapists looking for a supportive and collaborative learning experience. Trish and Anniken demonstrate extensive knowledge with regards to pelvic floor issues, but more importantly how to clinically reason what each patient may need depending on their goals. This series is a wonderful balance between knowledge acquisition and how problem solve."
