About this Consult:
Sylvia is experiencing heaviness, dragging and looseness for the last 3-4 years while attending high intensity exercises classes, especially during star jumps, squat jumps and core exercises. Sylvia has two children aged 11 and 9 years old.
She also has some urinary urgency. She has been diagnosed in the past with mild, grade 1 rectocele and her previous Pelvic Health Physio said she had a high tone pelvic floor, so she’s been working on down-training and not strengthening the pelvic floor.
Sylvia believes the pelvic floor should be rising up to support her during her exercises and consciously tries to activate her pelvic floor while she works out.
She would love to get back to doing all of the exercises in her fitness class, however she also fears that some of them are unsafe for herself (and others in her class) to do from a pelvic health perspective.
What strategies does Antony use to resolve Sylvia’s symptoms by the end of the assessment?
How is she feeling and what is she thinking about 2 years later?

Who Is This Consult For?
Health and fitness professionals who have female clients, will benefit from watching this unique consultation. Whether you’re a personal trainer/coach, a physical therapist/physiotherapist, a nutritionist or anything in-between, the concepts explored in this enlightening consult can help you deliver better customised care to your clients.
What Will I Learn By Watching This Consult?
By watching the consult, you’ll see the kind of questions to ask your clients. You’ll see modelled how to go through the assessment process and how to partner with your clients instead of telling them what to do.
Most importantly, you’ll learn how to apply these principles in your own practice. It’s an awesome way to get a different learning experience, rather than just knowledge – like someone speaking over powerpoint slides. It’s like you’re there with Antony, watching him work with someone just like your clients and being able to reflect and ask questions about the consult.
Each consultation is as unique as the clients themselves. No two people are the same, so no two consults are ever the same. And no consult is ever perfect – you’ll be learning from observing mistakes as well.
