Honoured to Share the Stage at Fraser Health OBGYN Grand Rounds 💫
This past week, I had the privilege of presenting alongside some truly brilliant colleagues at the Fraser Health OBGYN Grand Rounds, diving into a topic that deserves far more spotlight: Pelvic Health Physiotherapy for Risk Reduction and Management of Obstetric A**l Sphincter Injuries (OASI)
We unpacked:
🟣 The incidence of OASI injuries locally (Fraser Health), provincially (BC), nationally and globally
🟣 The lasting impact these injuries can have on birthers
🟣 How Pelvic Health Physiotherapists play a role in risk reduction, filling a current patient education gap and rehabilitation
🟣 The importance of interdisciplinary collaboration—physios as key players on the birth team
🟣 Our growing integration into the perinatal continuum, including exciting initiatives like the new multidisciplinary Maternal Pelvic Health Clinic at BC Women's Hospital for BCWH patients.
It was a powerful reminder that evidence-based pelvic health care should be a standard part of every birthing journey.
Let’s keep pushing for change—one informed birth at a time. 💪🏽💜
