Free 3-Week Online Course

Chronic / Persistent Pelvic Pain for Physiotherapists

Starts 5 October 2026

Persistent pelvic pain can be complex.

Our patients rarely present with one neat diagnosis, one clear contributor or one simple treatment pathway.

They may have endometriosis, bladder pain, pelvic floor muscle pain, bowel dysfunction, pudendal neuralgia or other overlapping conditions, alongside changes in the nervous system, movement, sleep, stress and everyday life.

So where do we start as physiotherapists?

Throughout October, I'm opening my Chronic / Persistent Pelvic Pain for Physiotherapists course for FREE.

Over three weeks, we'll move from understanding persistent pain, through common pelvic pain conditions, to the part that really matters: how do we assess and manage the person sitting in front of us?

How the Free Course Works

Instead of giving you around eight hours of content at once, the course will be released in three weekly sections.

Each Monday, a new section becomes available. You'll have one week to work through that section before we move on to the next.

Week 1 | 5 October

Introduction & Understanding Pain

We start with the foundations.

Explore contemporary pain science and develop a framework for understanding why pain can persist and what this means for the way we assess and treat people with pelvic pain.

The goal isn't to memorise neuroscience.

It's to help you better understand the patient in front of you.

Week 2 | 12 October

Pelvic Pain Conditions

Now we bring those principles into the pelvis.

We'll explore a range of chronic and persistent pelvic pain presentations, including:

  • Endometriosis and adenomyosis
  • Bladder Pain Syndrome / Interstitial Cystitis
  • Pudendal neuralgia
  • Pelvic floor muscle pain
  • Dyspareunia
  • Functional anorectal pain
  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome
  • Chronic prostatitis
  • Chronic scrotal pain
  • Hypermobility
  • Other overlapping pelvic pain presentations

Rather than simply learning a list of diagnoses, we'll consider the patterns, overlaps and contributing systems that may be relevant for each individual patient.

Week 3 | 19 October

Physiotherapy Assessment & Management

Finally, we bring everything together clinically.

We'll explore how to assess someone with persistent pelvic pain, make sense of what you find and develop an individualised management plan.

  • Clinical reasoning
  • Pain education
  • Behaviour change
  • Flare management
  • TENS
  • Grounding strategies
  • Positions of comfort
  • Manual therapy
  • Movement and exercise
  • Lifestyle and general health
  • Stress and wellbeing
  • Therapeutic empathy

There is rarely one treatment for persistent pelvic pain.

Good management is about understanding what is contributing to the individual's experience and deciding where physiotherapy can meaningfully help.

About Your Presenter

Mandy Röscher

Physiotherapist | Pelvic Health Educator

I'm a physiotherapist with 18 years of clinical experience and spend my working week between treating patients and teaching physiotherapists.

In clinical practice, I particularly enjoy working with persistent pelvic pain, anorectal dysfunction and complex presentations where there are often multiple overlapping concerns.

That clinical work is also what shapes my teaching.

I want education to go beyond "here is the condition and here is the treatment."

I want you to understand why, know what to look for, and feel more confident deciding what to do next when you're back in the clinic.

Three Weeks. One Complex Topic. Completely Free.

Starts Monday 5 October 2026.

Join physiotherapists from around the world as we spend October building a clearer, more practical approach to chronic and persistent pelvic pain.

Registration is free.

Course Testimonials

“I recently completed the Chronic Pelvic Persistent Pain course taught by Mandy Rocher, and I’m truly grateful for the experience. The course offered valuable new insights and perspectives, despite its dense content. It has already made a significant impact on how I approach treatment, equipping me with a deeper understanding of chronic pelvic pain.
 
 I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to enhance their knowledge and improve their treatment approach. Thank you for such a valuable learning experience!”

Aparna

 

"A brilliant course that reminds us we are all human and experience pain very differently. That there are far more treatment options available to us as Physios than manual therapy. Mandy really explains the mind body connection in a simplistic manner and in a clear step by step view of rational and treatment options. Thank you, Mandy!

Danielle

 

 

"Mandy has a wealth of knowledge to share and has ideas and information that I haven't learned about in my 8 years of taking continuing education courses. I love hearing the clinical experiences and tidbits and advice that Mandy graciously shares! Thanks for the opportunity to take this course"

Chaya

 

"I enjoyed that all explanations were very clear and easy to understand. It was good overview of pain neuroscience and the ways how chronic pain can develop. This course helped me better understand different chronic pelvic pain conditions and their causes. The theory was related with everyday experience in a nice explanatory way."

Mai

 

"This course is so good! Very thorough with all explanations to help understand pelvic pain as well as all the pelvic pain syndromes, plus useful practical advice to use with our patients in clinic. Well worth it and highly recommend!"

Tina

 

"This is one of those "Must-do" courses. The content is thorough, addressing all the different aspects of dealing with a chronic pelvic pain patient. Even if you have been treating pelvic pain patients for years, there are some new thoughts and skills you can apply. Very well structured!"
