8 Reasons Acupuncturists should take a Pelvic Health Continuing Education Course
Continuing Education Units (CEUs) or Professional Development Activities (PDAs) in pelvic health can offer acupuncturists specialized knowledge and skills to enhance their practice.
9 Things to Consider when selecting a Pelvic Care CEU / PDA Class
Pelvic Care for Acupuncturists is super specialized and if it’s piqued your interest, it’s important to choose the right course system for your needs. This endeavor will likely require an investment of both time and money. Here are ten things to consider when selecting a pelvic health class:
What your client needs to know about their pelvic floor.
Clients who are curious about the pelvic floor and associated dysfunctions as well as those who present with pelvic floor patterns can really benefit from a little bit of understanding and some education. Clients who understand their pelvic floor function have a much greater opportunity to participate in the healing and leaning into the support you’re offering.
Unique Ways Your Acupuncturist Can Support Your Pelvic Health!
If you’d had acupuncture before, you might know that acupuncturists are often really good at moving the needle (pun intended) where other more traditional methods have failed. That’s because our outlook on the body is a little bit different than other healthcare practitioners. We see the body’s energetics, emotions and physicality.
Is an acupuncturist qualified to treat pelvic health issues?
You might have heard of Kegel exercises for your pelvic floor. You might have even heard of PT’s that work with the pelvic floor, but did you know that acupuncturists can support your pelvic health?
Benefits of adding Pelvic Care to your Acupuncture Practice
Long before becoming an acupuncturist, I became a PT and over time came to specialize in Pelvic Health, specifically dry needling of the pelvic floor and surrounding structures. I became an acupuncturist to go deeper into the spirit of the points and gain deep understanding of the organ system energetics. I fell in love with the impact a needle can make on a physical, emotional or energetic level.
