Big emphasis that our educational marketing campaign is targeted toward healthcare providers to educate them on the pelvic referral process and to disperse information throughout the medical field. #dudpthod

[Duke DPT HOD5 @DukeHOD5]

With Dukelegates right around the corner, we just want to remind everyone that the Optimizing Postpartum Outcomes Act (H.R. 2480) will raise awareness of the availability and importance of pelvic health PT for postpartum women. #dudpthod

This Flash Action Strategy led to 5,000 letters being sent to Congress supporting the Optimizing Postpartum Outcomes Act! That's a whole lot of support! #dudpthod

[Duke DPT HOD5 @DukeHOD5]

Some of the inspiration for our motion came from this Student-Led Flash Action Strategy to support pelvic health physical therapy! #dudpthod

@DukeHOD8 We would love to see pelvic health physical therapy in the media! #dudpthod

[Duke DPT HOD5 @DukeHOD5]

Urinary incontinence is very common for postpartum women, but it's not something that they have to live with! Pelvic health physical therapy can help! #dudpthod

We also have the support of the Duke University Academy of Pelvic Health! #dudpthod

True or false: Pelvic floor physical therapy is just for prenatal or postpartum women. #dudpthod

[Duke DPT HOD5 @DukeHOD5]

Here are some reasons to refer ALL pregnant clients to a Pelvic Health PT from the APTA:

Did you know the U.S. is the only country studied that does not guarantee access to provider home visits or paid parental leave in the postpartum period🤔 #dudpthod

[Duke DPT HOD5 @DukeHOD5]

ALL healthcare providers must recognize the importance of physical therapy in prenatal and postpartum populations. #dudpthod

[Duke DPT HOD5 @DukeHOD5]

Looking forward to the results of this study! #researchisgreat #dudpthod

[Duke DPT HOD5 @DukeHOD5]

The APTA has a whole page dedicated to resources to increase public awareness! The campaign right now is dedicated to supporting the Economic Value of PT report! #dudpthod

Poll time! Since our motion statement involves an educational marketing campaign, how do you prefer to get information? #dudpthod

[Duke DPT HOD5 @DukeHOD5]

About how many people are born in the United States each day? aka how many women begin the postpartum period? (the correct answer comes from data collected by the CDC in 2021) #dudpthod

[Duke DPT HOD5 @DukeHOD5]

Some individual factors that are associated with the utilization of prenatal and postpartum physical therapy are age, educational level, experience of depressive symptoms, and pregnancy status. #dudpthod
