Overview

Is strength training truly safe for our postmenopausal clients? What about those experiencing incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, or osteoporosis? 

Should we really be getting them lifting or are lifting restrictions more appropriate? How do we know what’s ok and what's not?!

This on-demand course by physiotherapist Teresa Waser aims to help us critically consider the application of strength training in older adults - through menopause and beyond!

 

Learning objectives

In this course with Teresa Waser, we will:

  1. Consider the influence of whole-body strength (or lack thereof!) on pelvic health
  2. Understand the potential impact of strength training as a truly biopsychosocial intervention with multiple targets in the older adult
  3. Briefly review the evidence for strength training in the postmenopausal period
  4. Illustrate how we might utilize strength training for these individuals to feel, move, and perform better - yes EVEN with pelvic floor concerns!
 

Audience

This course is for all clinicians, including pelvic & orthopaedic physiotherapists, occupational therapistss, chiropractors, athletic therapists, as well as fitness professionals.
