Big news this month! Our physical therapist, Kaela Frailing, completed her capstone pelvic health continuing education course. This was the last in a series of courses required for her to be eligible to sit for her Pelvic Rehabilitation Practitioner Certification (PRPC) exam. Kaela has been successfully treating pelvic health patients for 3 years, and this course continues to provide her with more tools to assist patients, stay up to date on current research-based treatment options, connect with other practitioners, and improve communication with other members of the healthcare team. Hopefully, by the end of 2027, Kaela will have sat for the exam and have a few extra letters after her name!
The weekend-long capstone course was very informative, with a focus on more complex conditions such as endometriosis, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, pelvic venous disorders, and neurogenic bladder. These are conditions that require a multidisciplinary approach and often need lifelong management in some capacity. Complex conditions are also more unique, as they tend to be harder to diagnose and have a longer latency between onset of symptoms and official diagnosis. This course, along with previous courses and her own personal experiences, continues to help Kaela navigate complex patient presentations and help ensure her patients are being guided in the best direction possible.
The big takeaway from this is that we want you to know that we are here for you, and we are committed to continuing to advance our skills and knowledge to best serve you. Pelvic health physical therapy is all about taking a full-picture look at how you are moving and how different body systems are interacting with each other in order to create a personalized treatment plan that works best for you. Whether you are navigating pelvic pain, urinary incontinence/urgency, abdominal pain, or pregnancy/postpartum, Kaela would love to connect and discuss ways that she can help!
