With all of the systemic changes, it’s no wonder that pregnancy and menopause are challenging times for many women.  As a healthcare professional, you need to be aware of the hormonal changes and their impact on the musculoskeletal system.

With over a decade of experience in pelvic floor therapy, Liz Frey, FCAMPT, will unpack the hormonal changes associated with pregnancy and menopause and shine a focused light on their impacts on the pelvis.   You’ll explore:  

• Why the inner core is often the missing piece of the puzzle   
• How to connect with the diaphragm and pelvic floor to target incontinence, prolapse and dyspareunia  
• Exercise interventions to maximize strength and mobility 

Filled with evidence-informed techniques you can use to optimize function, this is a “must attend” presentation for all healthcare professionals who work with women!

As an orthopaedic and pelvic health physiotherapist, Liz integrates her over 10 years of clinical expertise to provide a unique whole-body approach to wellness.

She does all of this through hands-on techniques, comprehensive education and tailored progressive exercise programs.

Personally, as a busy mother of three children, the health habits that don’t slip for Liz are mindset and exercise – it is her positive outlook and passion to stay strong and mobile as she ages that are a few of her defining features.
