Beyond the Primary Complaint Workshop

When the Pelvic Floor Is the Missing Link

With Jennifer Duggins

Saturday April 25, 2026 | 11am-12:30pm

Many common patient complaints—gastrointestinal, genitourinary, low back pain, hip pain, SI dysfunction, core instability, even breathing and postural issues—have underlying pelvic floor
involvement. Yet these connections are often overlooked in traditional evaluation and treatment approaches.

This workshop is designed to help providers recognize when the pelvic floor may be contributing to a patient’s presentation, even when symptoms appear elsewhere.

Through a systems-based framework, we’ll explore how the pelvic floor integrates with the core, diaphragm, and surrounding musculoskeletal structures—and how dysfunction can
present in ways that are easy to miss without a trained lens.

Providers will gain practical strategies for identifying patterns that suggest pelvic floor involvement, understand when referral is appropriate, and learn how to better integrate care across disciplines.

This is also an opportunity to better understand and utilize one of Method’s most valuable internal resources—our pelvic floor specialist—so patients receive the most comprehensive,
effective care possible.
