Pelvic floor dysfunction is a common yet often overlooked issue that impacts many patients’ daily lives, contributing to pain, incontinence, and functional limitations. However, many general clinicians, PTs, and OTs feel underprepared to assess and treat these concerns confidently.

This course provides a clear, practical guide to help clinicians integrate pelvic floor therapy into their existing practice. Attendees will gain evidence-based strategies and assessment tools they can apply immediately to identify pelvic floor dysfunction and implement effective interventions.

Core Strengthening in Pediatrics

Episode 38

Wednesday, January 14, 2026 • Duration 57:04

“It all starts with the core” is a common phrase used amongst physical and occupational therapists in all settings. All developmental movement starts with the core beginning with head control and moving up the developmental spectrum to having strong lateral hips to perform high level plyometrics and everything in between. A strong knowledge of the core as a foundation for movement, stability, and posture will assist the clinician in designing effective exercise programs and treatment interventions. Pediatric clinicians see patients with a wide array of ages, impairments and motor abilities, and patients in all gross motor function classification system (GMFCS) levels can benefit from core activation to assist at the impairment, functional mobility, and activity levels. Often the knowledge of these exercises is gleaned only through experience, which makes it hard to design exercise programs without frequent exposure to different populations. Once the basic knowledge of the core anatomy, muscle action, and muscle function is obtained the clinician is charged with creating exercises and home programs that allow activation of needed muscle groups and provide carryover to function. This course will provide insight into core exercises useful across the age and motor ability span and rationale for specific diagnosis.

Therapy Treatment Mode Guidelines for PDPM and Medicare Part B

Episode 35

Wednesday, October 8, 2025 • Duration 01:03:20

Therapists face increased scrutiny around appropriate service delivery modes in rehab settings — particularly for concurrent, group, and co-treatment services. With reimbursement and compliance implications tied to correct usage, misapplication can result in overbilling, denials, and regulatory risk. In 2020, CMS clarified billing distinctions and accountability under PDPM, making it critical that rehab professionals know when and how to apply each mode within scope and regulation. This course provides practical, evidence-informed strategies to help therapy professionals understand, apply, and document group, concurrent, and co-treatment effectively. Participants will return to their setting equipped to ensure clinical appropriateness, enhance functional outcomes, and meet payer requirements — without sacrificing interdisciplinary collaboration or patient-centered care.

Edema Essentials

Episode 33

Wednesday, August 13, 2025 • Duration 01:00:57

Untreated edema can lead to more severe problems such as stasis dermatitis, discomfort/pain, venous ulcerations, progressed lymphedema and decreased mobility. By recognizing and intervening early, we as clinicians can make a significant impact on quality of life for our clients and possibly prevent the progression of this disease. Through improving your assessment skills at the bedside, you can empower your patients to make a significant change in the trajectory of their livelihood. Clinicians that are involved in rehabilitative medicine are a critical piece to guiding their patients to add wellness into their lifespan and demonstrate the impact early intervention can make in our clients’ lives.

This course will aim to improve the bedside assessment skills of edema, give practical intervention guidance and guide the clinician on specialist referral needs. Through step-by-step descriptions, this education aims to be applicable immediately after learning for edema assessment, interventions and goal setting.

Maintenance Therapy

Episode 32

Wednesday, July 9, 2025 • Duration 01:00:20

Clinicians-OTs, PTs, and assistants-did not go to therapy school to learn to write notes; unfortunately, clinical documentation is an essential part of every OT or PT visit. Anecdotal evidence and observation suggest that many therapists are documenting how they learned in school, whether that was 1 or 20 years ago. This course explores the current requirements of maintenance therapy. Clinicians will explore the art and science of compliant clinical documentation in the current therapy world.
