RACHEL MOORE
Good morning, PT on ICE Daily Show. I am getting lunched on YouTube and Instagram and we are good to go. All right, what's up? My name is Dr. Rachel Moore. I am here this morning to talk to you guys about screening for pelvic floor dysfunction especially if you are somebody who is maybe not familiar with the pelvic floor space or this is an entirely new space for you or you're somebody who is like identifying or classifying as a orthopedic PT and you're like I don't know anything about the pelvis. I want to clear things up with you guys and put together or we did put together a resource for you guys that is a pelvic floor screen that you're going to be able to access through the Ice Physio app under the resources section. So you'll be able to get that off of the app, download it, either have it in your intake forms, in your paperwork so that you can use that as people are coming in and kind of have an indicator of if this would be a person who would benefit from a referral for pelvic floor PT. Where this all came from, we've been asked at our courses before for just kind of an easy, quick, general screen. A lot of us use kind of a different option. So there was some people had a couple options that they were using. Other people were using different things. So what we did is we took all of these resources. We compiled them together and we really leaned into the research and what we have out there for pelvic floor screening. So we're going to chat a little bit about what that screen is and how we kind of adapted it or modified it for this really quick, easy, downloadable version that you can pull up and have as an 11 question fast screen for your patients. So This whole screen kind of is based around or adapted from a study that was published in the British Journal of Sports Med
