Introduction to
Transperineal RTUS
An introduction to transperineal ultrasound for pelvic health physiotherapists who want to start using it in clinical practice
Why Learn Transperineal RTUS?
Transperineal ultrasound is rapidly becoming one of the most valuable tools available to pelvic health physiotherapists. It allows us to visualise pelvic floor function in real time, providing information that cannot always be obtained through internal examination alone.
Whether you're interested in birth preparation, prolapse assessment, pessaries, pelvic floor muscle assessment, or patient education, transperineal ultrasound can be a powerful addition to your clinical toolkit.
This workshop is designed to help you get started.
No previous ultrasound experience is required.
What You'll Learn
By the end of the workshop, you'll have a practical understanding of:
-
Ultrasound setup, cleaning, and equipment optimisation
-
Probe placement and image acquisition
-
Supine and standing assessments
-
Functional assessment techniques
-
Practical clinical applications
-
Common troubleshooting tips
-
Understanding and utilising measurements such as:
-
Anteroposterior diameter (APD) for birth preparation
-
Bladder neck descent assessment for POP and SUI assessment
-
Additional clinically relevant measurements
-
The focus of this workshop is not becoming an ultrasound expert.
The goal is to help you feel confident getting started and understanding how transperineal ultrasound can fit into your everyday clinical practice.
Hands on Learning
The majority of the workshop is spent practising.
With a small-group format, you'll receive individual feedback, plenty of scanning time, and the opportunity to ask questions specific to your clinical practice.
Following the workshop, you'll also receive access to demonstration videos covering:
-
Bladder neck descent
-
Anorectal angle
-
Levator plate angle
-
Additional measurement techniques
These resources are designed to support continued learning and confidence after the workshop.
Important Information
As this is a practical skills-based workshop, participants are expected to volunteer as subjects for scanning practice.
This is an important part of the learning experience and allows participants to gain realistic, hands-on experience.
