Learning Objectives
After attending this webinar, you will understand:
- How relaxation training fits into the overall biopsychosocial management program for persistent pelvic pain by addressing local pelvic floor muscle tension and training the ‘relaxation response’ to calm the whole system.
- Different options for practicing whole body and pelvic floor muscle relaxation.
- How the User Guide can be used, either as a whole or in sections, to guide patients with their exercises.
- How the resource package can help patients develop their skills in PFM relaxation with regular home practice.

The instructors
Specialist Physiotherapist in Women's, Men's and Pelvic Health as awarded by the Australian College of Physiotherapists in 2010
Trish is an Australian Specialist Physiotherapist, (awarded by the Australian College of Physiotherapists in 2010) and has a PhD from the University of South Australia. She was awarded the Ruth Grant Prize for dedication and achievement in physiotherapy research.
She worked clinically in the area of pelvic health for 30 years and co-designed the University of South Australia course on the “Conservative management of Pelvic Organ Prolapse”, which awards a Professional Certificate in pessary management for Australian physiotherapists. She continues to lecture on this course.
During her later years as a clinician, Trish worked within a multi-disciplinary team and focussed on treating people with complex pelvic pain. She became interested in the potential to incorporate Pain Science Education into her treatment and developed a group education program. She saw the need for a resource to help her patients with pelvic pain practice relaxation, pelvic floor ‘down training’ and breathing techniques at home. And so, in 2014, she developed this audio resource, with subsequent editions developing and improving the content.
Trish’s research and publications span a wide range of pelvic floor topics, including competency-based physiotherapy training, female stress urinary incontinence, vaginal pessaries, pelvic pain and male post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence. She has authored over 20 peer-reviewed publications, with nine as first author, and three book chapters.
