Essential Pelvic Strengthening:
Not Your Mama's Kegels
We know there must be more to strengthening than just voluntary, isolated pelvic floor contractions. That's where our field has been stuck for almost 80 years! This course is the framework to get more functional and individualized with our patients.
01
Functional Strengthening
The framework and tools for more functional strengthening to get your patient up off the table and back to their real goals.
02
New Tools in Your Toolbox
Understand how to make any exercise a pelvic floor exercise. Get creative and functional with your patients.
03
Standing Assessment
04
Replace Isolated Strengthing
Learn how to do a standing assessment (without it being 'weird!) and other functional assessments to get the information you really need.
Be able to replace isolationist strengthening with adaptive strengthening for better patient outcomes
I'm Nicole Cozean - I've been where you are!
Like all of you, I was trained with the isolationist view of the pelvic floor. But as I treated it became clear the pelvic floor was more complex than just needing Kegels.
​
We need to treat the pelvic floor as a system.
Take into account the orthopedic issues around it.
Understand the patient's goal and get more functional and individualized with their care.
​
Once I started treating that way, it unlocked so many possibilities for my patients. And I began to fall back in love with pelvic health - it's more fun when we're getting our patients active and up off the table.
​
I created the 'Not Your Mama's Kegels' course to share the research, theory and practical applications of this 'Adaptive Strengthening Approach' that we can use to replace our isolationist ideas. Can't wait for you to join us and enjoy the course!
