Overview
The Resource Package - Female and Male Pelvic Pain is a comprehensive clinical toolkit designed for clinicians managing patients with pelvic pain and associated dysfunction. Complementing the Pelvic Health Solutions (PHS) Level 2 course, this resource package includes prescriptable patient exercises, education modules, and protocols that clinicians can incorporate into care plans via the Embodia platform.
Pelvic pain can profoundly impact quality of life across genders and age groups. This package equips clinicians with evidence-informed tools to support functional improvement and patient education in a variety of pelvic pain presentations.

-
Apply 22 targeted patient exercises to address musculoskeletal contributors to pelvic pain.

Clinicians seeking ready-to-use patient materials for pelvic pain management.

Providers using or transitioning to Embodia for Home Exercise Prescription and patient education delivery
Why This Resource Package Matters
Pelvic pain syndromes, including dyspareunia, vulvodynia, pudendal neuralgia, bladder pain syndrome, chronic prostatitis, and more, remain under-recognized and often poorly addressed in clinical practice. Standard musculoskeletal training seldom covers the breadth of pelvic presentations and biopsychosocial contributors that impact recovery.
This resource package fills that gap by giving clinicians practical, evidence-aligned resources they can prescribe directly to patients to enhance engagement, understanding, and outcomes

Pelvic Health Solutions (PHS) is an evidence-based teaching company that aims to educate and empower physiotherapists, healthcare professionals, and everyday people about pelvic health.
PHS was founded in 2010 out of the need to develop pelvic health resources in Ontario at a time when it was an under-serviced health concern. PHS provides continuing education courses, mentoring, and clinical resources for a variety of practitioners with the goal of equipping them to deliver evidence-based, biopsychosocial assessment and treatment of pelvic health problems in our province and abroad.
Our company also exists as a way to connect people experiencing pelvic health concerns to pelvic health physiotherapists in their area. PHS has ultimately blossomed into a community of curious people who are committed to providing hope and healing to those who suffer from pelvic health issues.

What is a Resource Package?
A resource package is not a complete online course. Rather, a resource package on Embodia contains patient exercises and/or education that can be prescribed to patients by an Embodia Member (subscriber) with a Tier 2 or 3 Membership. You can view membership pricing and what's included in the membership tiers by going here.
While you can access/purchase resource packages without an Embodia Membership, you will get the most out of a resource package if you have a Tier 2 or 3 Membership.
