Brief Session Description : Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a disabling condition that impacts mobility, employment, and quality of life, yet it remains underdiagnosed and undertreated. This interactive session equips providers with the knowledge and strategies to recognize CPP as a functional disability, navigate systemic barriers to care, understand relevant anatomic and electrodiagnostic considerations, and implement multidisciplinary treatment approaches. Through case-based discussions, participants will explore function-driven rehabilitation strategies including manual modalities, ultrasound-guided interventions, and botulinum toxin injections. Attendees will leave with practical tools to improve patient outcomes and access resources to continue learning about pelvic rehabilitation independently.
