Leading researcher, educator and clinician, Sinéad Dufour discusses how to avoid the false dichotomy of 'weak vs tight' pelvic floor.

Perhaps best known for her seminal research on the link between low back pain and pelvic floor dysfunction, Sinéad goes through the origin of her research and what we still get wrong when we interpret her results.

She discusses how we can both present a 'menu of options' for patients while still recognizing that 1:1 care with an internal exam is the gold standard of treatment.

And she talks about why attending conferences is one of the best way to stay up-to-date on what is going on in the field.

We also talk about her clinical philosophy, what 'evidence-based' really means and how a younger clinician can improve their knowledge and skills.
