Who is this course for?

 

If you’re a pelvic health physiotherapist who’s already using ultrasound — or ready to take your skills to the next level — this course was built for you.

It answers key questions clinicians ask:

How can I develop my transperineal Ultrasound Scanning skills in female pelvic health?

How do I confidently scan and interpret pelvic floor structures in both men and women?

How can I use ultrasound to guide rehab for female pelvic pain, incontinence, prolapse, and sexual dysfunction?

How do I apply transabdominal and transperineal ultrasound pre- and post-prostatectomy?

How can I use transabdominal US scanning in post-natal rectus diastasis?

 

This course bridges research and real-life practice. You’ll leave with new scanning skills, greater clinical confidence, and practical strategies you can apply the very next day.

What makes this course different?

 

You’ll learn both transperineal and transabdominal scanning for female and male patients.

Hands-on, case-based, and embedded in clinical reasoning.

Led by an international leader in ultrasound and pelvic pain.

Covers male and female pelvic health applications.

Covers transperineal and transabdominal ultrasound imaging.

This course is proudly taught by #tutorswhotreat – clinicians who remain embedded in real-world care and are passionate about helping you transform your practice.
