Chronic Pelvic Pain (CPP) is often associated with negative behavioural and psychological consequences as well as with bladder, bowel, sexual, pelvic floor and gynaecological dysfunction. CPP is common and affects 1 in 6 women.
This workshop will guide physiotherapists and clinicians of all disciplines throughout the most up-to date evidence on the multidisciplinary assessment and management of endometriosis, bowel and menstrual related CPP. This workshop will also expand awareness of postpartum post-traumatic stress disorder (P-PTSD) and how to manage it in clinical practice. The audience will be invited to ask questions at the end of each presentation and will have a discussion at the end of the workshop.
Learning Objectives - This workshop aims to familiarise delegates with the mechanisms of endometriosis, menstrual and bowel related pelvic pain;
- To provide guidance and clinical tools on the multidisciplinary assessment and management of CPP;
- To provide guidance on how to recognise and address the psychological dysfunction found amongst CPP patients and on women with P-PTSD.
