Description

This course will focus on addressing sports medicine and health care issues surrounding women across their lifespan from adolescence into adulthood and retirement. The course will address concepts surrounding musculoskeletal gender differences in rehabilitation and progressive changes during pregnancy and postpartum that may affect participation in activity and exercise. Lastly, health care issues throughout the female lifespan will be discussed, such as psychological considerations, pelvic floor dysfunction/ prolapse, immunology, and bone health. Interactive workshops will cover key areas to address the examination and treatment of injuries in female athletes, hip/spine connection, peripartum pelvic girdle dysfunction and diastasis recti abdominus, and musculoskeletal considerations during labor and delivery.
