Conservative Management

Despite high-quality evidence supporting conservative management for various pelvic floor disorders, there a number of new challenges requiring up-to-date discussions to ensure best practice and improve patient care. We will discuss the evidence and underlying mechanisms supporting emerging treatments in laser therapy and educational approaches for pelvic pain. In addition, we will discuss the available scientific evidence and our role as physiotherapists in the management of patients who have undergone female genital mutilation and gender-affirming surgeries.

Learning Objectives

  • To update clinicians on the evidence surrounding the efficacy and potential underlying mechanisms of laser therapy for the management vulvodynia
  • To discuss the physiology of pain processing mechanisms in relation to pain education approaches and placebo effects in order to improve chronic pelvic pain management
  • To discuss the role of physiotherapy for transgender patients and women who have experienced female genital mutilation/cutting
