My PT Education - Education for the Public and Professionals

EarlyBird Offer for Diastasis Done Differently in Melbourne finishes this Friday. ⏳

💰 Save $55 when you enroll before 19th June.

You’ve seen the exercises.

But do you understand:
Why you're choosing them?
When they matter?
When they don't?
How to adapt them to the person in front of you?

Without understanding the reasoning behind assessment, loading, progression, and context, DRA management can quickly become confusing to know what’s appropriate for the client in front of you.

Develop greater confidence in how you assess, interpret, and manage DRA in practice.

World Continence Week (15–21 June) is about more than raising awareness of incontinence. It’s about recognising the invisible cost. 💭

Did you know many women experience stress urinary incontinence (SUI), but never tell anyone? Not their teammates, coaches, family, or sometimes even their healthcare professionals. 🤐

Yet SUI is far more common than most people realise. Around 1 in 5 women experience SUI, making it one of the most common pelvic floor symptoms among active women.

For many women, the response is not to seek help. Instead, many quietly stop participating in sport altogether. 🏃‍♀️🛑

The embarrassment and fear associated with SUI can be immense. Sometimes it is reinforced by the messages they receive.

❌ “Avoid impact.”
❌ “Stop running.”
❌ “Don’t jump.”

While these recommendations are often well-intentioned, they can unintentionally create fear around movement and exercise, leading women to believe that participation is harmful or unsafe.

The invisible cost of SUI is not just leakage.

The consequences extend far beyond the pelvic floor itself.

It can be the loss of sport, loss of exercise, loss of confidence, and the loss of social connection.

And ultimately, the loss of the many physical and mental health benefits that come from being active. 💣

These are some of the ideas explored in Revisiting Pelvic Floor Exercises with Dr Monika Leitner, where she explores a different way of thinking about pelvic floor function, impact, adaptation, and reflexive training.

The goal should not be to tell women what to avoid and reduce symptoms.

The goal is to help them continue doing the things they love. 💪

"Brilliant." "Amazing." "So incredibly informative."

These were just some of the words participants used to describe Monika Leitner's recent seminar, Revisiting Pelvic Floor Exercises.

💬 "Thank you for such a thorough presentation both in the research and in the nuance of it all."

💬 "This has been so incredibly informative!"

💬 "This was brilliant Monika."

💬 "Your thoughts and how you got there are so interesting and have provoked much thought in how I can apply these principles."

💬 "Lots to take away."

💬 "Thank you for the excellent information and interesting perspective."

What stood out most was not just the quality of the research, but how Dr Monika Leitner connected the science, clinical reasoning, and practical application.

If you work with active women, female athletes, or anyone experiencing pelvic floor symptoms during exercise, this course will challenge assumptions, deepen your understanding, and provide a practical framework for helping women return confidently to running, jumping, lifting, and sport.

One past attendee described Diastasis Done Differently as:

“Very practical and a great course to get you thinking differently about challenging your clients
and how you approach them…” 🧠

That’s really what this course is about.

Sometimes we think learning is just about adding more information. 📚
But it should also include questioning assumptions you didn’t even realise you had.🤔

Across the course, we also explore how to:
✔️ Assess using a biopsychosocial framework 🧠
✔️ Move beyond rigid protocols to principles you can apply 🔑
✔️ Help clients return to their goal activities without being unnecessarily slow or over-cautious 🚀
✔️ Understand what’s happening in real time with ultrasound 📡
✔️ Build individualised, practical programs for real people 👥

If you’re ready to think differently about diastasis, I’d love to see you in person. 🤍

Impact isn’t the enemy, the issue is often whether the pelvic floor has the capacity to manage it. ⚖️

Too often, active women are told they MUST avoid impact activities and that high-intensity training is inherently harmful for the pelvic floor. 🚫🏃‍♀️ But the evidence tells a different story.

Join Dr Monika Leitner as she challenges outdated beliefs around pelvic floor dysfunction and stress urinary incontinence in active women, offering a more practical and research-informed framework for rehabilitation and performance. 🧠📚

Revisiting Pelvic Floor Exercises is now approved for 4.5 US PT CEUs across 40+ states ✅ making it an even more valuable opportunity for clinicians looking to advance their practice.

Why aren’t pelvic floor exercises working for some women? 🤔

Maybe because pelvic floor function is about more than strength alone…

Running, jumping, coughing, sneezing, and impact happen in milliseconds, often faster than a voluntary pelvic floor contraction can respond.

So maybe the better question is:
How do we improve the pelvic floor’s ability to respond to load? 💭

In Revisiting Pelvic Floor Exercises, Dr Monika Leitner explores pelvic floor function during impact, reflexive responses, load management, and practical strategies to support women returning confidently to running, jumping, and sport.

This seminar challenges outdated ideas around “good” and “bad” exercises and provides a practical framework for clinicians working with active women and female athletes.

Attention Perth!

The Female Athlete Course is coming to Perth! Be quick to grab the early bird special!

Link in the comments 👇

About 40% of women will experience pelvic organ prolapse.

Around 50% of women who exercise experience incontinence.

Up to 1 in 7 will experience pelvic pain in their lifetime.

This isn’t a niche problem.

So the question becomes…
Are we helping them do the things that matter to them? 🤔

Because this isn’t about managing symptoms.
It’s about what those symptoms are stopping them from doing.

We hear it again and again after this course.

Messages from past attendees sharing how it has transformed not only their practice, but the lives of the women they support. 💭❤️

You’re already doing good work.

This is about refining it. 🔎

Understanding it more deeply. 🧠

And helping more women get back
to what they actually want to do. 🏃‍♀️💃🏋️‍♂️

That’s what this course is for.

Not just learning what to do.
Actually experiencing it first.

So you leave knowing:
“I can actually do this.” 💪

If that resonates, this is your invitation:
