Overview
This webinar will discuss the application of graded imagery exposure in patients with pelvic floor pain and anxiety.
It will examine the theory of why certain patients might benefit from imagery exposure, prior to, or in combination with our standard pelvic floor physiotherapy practices. It will discuss evaluating good candidates for imagery exposure, how to choose relevant images, and suggestions for treatment progressions.

Audience
This webinar is for all pelvic health pros and all healthcare professionals interested in learning more about pelvic health. Graded motor imagery has been studied and applied in other areas of physiotherapy and rehabilitation - it also can be applied for those experiencing pelvic pain! Join us to learn how!
This webinar pairs well with The Vuvla Image Collection that was developed by Katie, in response to a lack of suitable available vulvar images for the use of graded exposure for patients.
