Postnatal Considerations: Prolapse & Diastasis Recti
Sold out
This course received incredible feedback in 2019 for its hands on & practical application of exercise rehabilitation for the postnatal population.
New mums require a rehabilitation period, and safe progression back to exercise, sport and activity after the musculoskeletal changes in pregnancy, labour and birth.
This new course provides comprehensive knowledge and understanding of pregnancy and delivery. The course provides a thorough understanding of the effect of pregnancy on the pelvic floor and teaches how to assess for diastasis recti. You will also learn how to safely teach functional exercise and movement to new mums, as well as physiological education on prolapse, abdominal separation and pelvic instability.
Keep an eye out for our other e-courses, handouts, podcasts and other resources available for download, created for passionate health practitioners from interdisciplinary WHC knowledge.
At the completion of the Postnatal Consideration for Return to Exercise course you will have:
1 Knowledge of pelvic floor and bowl anatomy and physiology and adjunct therapies such as pessaries and manual therapy.
2 Knowledge of some of the common patho-physiology injures or conditions that may affect exercise in the post-natal period with a focus on abdominal separation (DRAM), Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) and pelvic instability.
3 Knowledge of red flags and referral system for postnatal clients.
4 The ability to design and implement a specific and appropriate exercise prescription for mums and bubs exercise groups.
5 Understand exercise protocols for POP and DRAM rehabilitation and modifications.
Presented by Esme Soan, ESSA Women’s Health Expert
Since graduating with a Bachelor of Clinical Exercise Physiology from QUT, Esme has had a passion for preconception, pregnancy and postnatal health and how being physically active can have positive health outcomes, both short and long term, for both mother and baby.
Esme has worked as an Accredited Exercise Physiologist (AEP) with a Women’s Health focus as part of multidisciplinary teams, and now works in her own clinic, Pear Exercise Physiology: Pregnancy & Women's Health in Brisbane. She is the ESSA Women’s Health Expert and has taught webinars and several workshops in the past year on women’s health and exercise for ESSA, NSW Health, Sports Medicine Australia and The Women’s Health Collective.
Exercise Physiology in Pregnancy: Cardiovascular, Metabolic & Musculoskeletal
Sold out
Pregnancy Pilates and yoga are no longer the only option presented to pregnant clients – and Accredited Exercise Physiologists (AEPs) are the best placed practitioners to help provide education, guidance and exercise prescription and programing for a healthy active pregnancy.
This course is written by an Exercise Physiologist FOR Exercise Physiologists currently working with, or looking to begin work with antenatal clients. It explains the physiological changes and adaptations that occur across the cardiorespiratory, metabolic and musculoskeletal system during pregnancy, and the interactions on exercise and activity. It also provides key prescreening, absolute and relative contraindications to exercise in pregnancy, and an exercise library for each trimester of pregnancy.
Keep an eye out for our other e-courses, handouts, podcasts and other resources available for download, created for passionate health practitioners from interdisciplinary WHC knowledge.
Exercise Physiology in Pregnancy – At the completion of this course you will:
1 Understand the multiple physiological changes (cardiovascular, respiratory, metabolic, musculoskeletal, neurological) that occur during
pregnancy, and how these alter exercise response, modalities and intensity.
2 Be confident in safely recommending appropriate physical activity and exercise to women in all trimesters of pregnancy (including prescreening, knowledge of relative and absolute contra-indicators and common pregnancy aliments, injuries and disorders).
3 Know the short and long-term benefits associated with exercise for both mother and offspring, including the latest evidence and research outcomes.
4 Have the skill set to design and implement a specific and appropriate exercise prescription for ‘apparently healthy’ pregnant women in all trimesters of pregnancy.
5 Appropriately modify exercise prescription for some common musculo-skeletal injuries or conditions that occur in pregnancy
(including sacroiliac joint pain, pubic symphasis pain, lower back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome and edema).
Presented by Esme Soan
Since graduating with a Bachelor of Clinical Exercise Physiology from QUT, Esme has had a passion for preconception, pregnancy and postnatal health, and the importance being physically active can have on the short and long term health outcomes for both mother and baby.
After completing 16 months of research with the Centre for Nutrition and Exercise at Mater Research/ Griffith University, learning more about exercise during pregnancy, and especially the impact exercise has to manage Gestational Diabetes Melltus (GDM), Esme has used her knowledge base to begin work as a clinician specializing in Women’s Health at Pear Exercise Physiology: Pregnancy & Women’s Health.
Esme is the director and Exercise Physiology lead with The Womens Health Collective (WHC). The WHC is a platform that brings together women’s health experts from all areas of allied health, midwifery and psychology. Open to all who want to learn more, ask why and work within an interdisciplinary network, we are clinicians who are not satisfied with just functional, but who want to support women to run, jump, lift, perform and prosper.
