This virtual workshop is designed to educate you on working with the prenatal and postpartum population. This workshop is great for personal trainers, massage therapists, and doulas. I want to share as much information I can about what I have learned through hours of continuing education in a way that is easy to understand and apply.

Topics we will cover:

• Anatomic and physiologic changes related to pregnancy and postpartum

• Assessment for Diastasis Rectus Abdominis

• Providing education for therapeutic support of the antepartum and intrapartum client

• Appropriate methods of providing therapeutic support for the antepartum and intrapartum client

• Anatomic and physiologic components of high risk pregnancy

• Common and infrequent maternal birth injuries

• Considerations and resources for the peripartum patient with disability, or with neurologic, cardiac, endocrine, arthritic, rheumatic or other systemic medical diagnoses

• Considerations for pregnancy and postpartum in the female athlete

• Impact of psychosocial factors on the pregnant or postpartum patient, such as high risk pregnancy, perinatal loss, postpartum depression, or intimate partner violence

• Developing an appropriate plan of care for patients with a high risk pregnancy or traumatic injury during pregnancy.
