A Clinical Conversation — Insights, Strategies & Real‑World Experience

In this unique format, pelvic health specialists Sarah Haag and Sandy Hilton share their experiences, perspectives, and clinical approaches to providing effective virtual pelvic health assessments and treatments. Rather than a traditional didactic course, this session is an expert dialogue, rich with practical insights, real case considerations, and nuanced clinical reasoning — the kind you’d gain from a conversation with trusted colleagues.


What This Course Is

This video‑based presentation captures an in‑depth discussion between two experienced pelvic health clinicians focused on:

✔ How they structure virtual pelvic health assessments
✔ Clinical decision‑making in telehealth settings
✔ Strategies for optimizing patient communication and engagement online
✔ Real‑world challenges and how they approach them
✔ Practical tips and clinical “pearls” gleaned from their practice

This course highlights what seasoned clinicians actually do in telehealth — nuanced reasoning, adaptation to individual patients, and the thought processes that go beyond rigid checklists.


What This Course Is Not

This is not a step‑by‑step training in:

  • Billing and coding workflows (e.g., insurance telehealth billing)

  • Detailed procedural instruction (e.g., how‑to internal/external exams)

  • Specific software tutorials or compliance workflows


Who Should Watch

This course is ideal for licensed healthcare professionals who:

  • Want insight into how experienced clinicians adapt pelvic health care to the online environment

  • Appreciate reflective clinical dialogue rather than scripted instruction

  • Are curious about approach, reasoning, and nuanced strategies in telehealth

This format is particularly valuable for clinicians ready to integrate thoughtful clinical context into their virtual care.


What You’ll Gain

By watching this conversation, you’ll walk away with:

✔ A deeper understanding of virtual pelvic health assessment principles
✔ Practical ideas to apply in your own telehealth practice
✔ Exposure to real clinician reasoning and adaptation
✔ Clinical insights that go beyond textbook approaches

Sarah plans to integrate yoga into her rehabilitation programs, as well as teach small, personalized classes. Sarah looks at education, and a better understanding of the latest evidence in the field of physical therapy, as the best way to help people learn about their conditions, and to help people learn to take care of themselves throughout the life span.
