Gold Standard Physiotherapy Post OASI

This webinar explores what gold standard physiotherapy care should look like following an obstetric anal sphincter injury (OASI), covering evidence-based pelvic floor assessment and looking at tone. We will look at the use of electrical stimulation to aid OASI patients. A session on practical strategies for bowel urgency using Ashley Catheters will be provided, and we delve deep into adjunctive therapies, including the PelviChair. We move onto discussing persistent perineal pain, specialist perineal scar management, and how to best support patients in returning to comfortable sexual activity after birth injury.
