  • Communication
  • Education
  • Internal exam? Why?
    • Decipher if mm’s are actually contracting, relaxing, or bearing down→ Specialized training***
110

Pelvic Floor Exam

Key components*

A
  • Spine/hip evals

    • NO isometric stability
    • Use PFMC during functional acts→ squat, lifting, exercise
  • *INC awareness of PF w/in pt
    • “Clenching”
    • Once pt is aware of PF, it is MUCH EASIER to train**
112
