They will have access to all resources that she uses in her practice and free continuo support on FaceBook group Fisioterapeutas RPA, where she will be available to answer the questions in a mentoring process to follow and to support them to offer the best treatment to their patients.
Methodology:
This course is based on the Active Perineal Rehabilitation homonym protocol developed by Dra. Laira Ramos. It is the first, and still now the unique, protocol with scientific validation to promote global pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation, and not to treat any isolated pathologies.
She started developing it during her Marter Degree (2009-2011) in Physiotherapy Sciences at the Faculty of Human Motricity, Lisbon, Portugal.
Its scientific validation was obtained in Laira Ramos´ PhD study, in the Gynecology Department of the Federal University of Sao Paulo. This thesis had Dr. do Prof. Doutor Manoel Joao Batista Castello Girão supervision and Dr Ricardo Mendes Alves Pereira co-supervision. Its examining commission was composed of Prof. Doutora Zsuzsanna Ilona Katalin De Jarmy Di Bella, Prof. Doutor Jorge Milhem Haddad, Prof. Doutor Walter Antonio Prata Pace, and Prof. Doutor Octacilio Figueiredo Netto.

Active Perineal Rehabilitation protocol consists of 14 individual sessions, each session has around 50 minutes duration, where the patient performs kinesiotherapy with electromyography biofeedback and electrical stimulation. Both with an intracavitary probe. The exercises challenge increases session by session and the protocol is divided into 3 phases: sessions 1 to 4- pelvic floor muscle consciousness; sessions 5 to 8- pelvic floor muscle agility; sessions 9 to 14- pelvic floor muscle hypertrophy. At the end of each session, the patients are orientated about home exercises and women are instructed about vaginal weights.
The protocol is described in the book Active Perineal Rehabilitation, write by Dra. Laira Ramos, and reviewed by Dr Helio Fernandes Retto and Dra. Eliane Cristina Hilberath Moreira, is available for the course students. Dra. Laira Ramos has all intellectual property rights and only those who are authorized by her can use the Active Perineal Rehabilitation protocol.

She chose to work in the field of urogynecology when she started university at Universidade Estadual de Londrina (Londrina State University) in 2002 and she has been involved in several traineeships since then. Her father and sister strongly influenced my career choice as both of them are gynecologists and have always encouraged her.
After graduating in 2005, she specializes exclusively in Pelvic Floor Muscles Rehabilitation and continually keeps up-to-date with the best and latest treatments, practices, and procedures for her patients.
She loves what she does and she works hard to balance her practice, her courses, and her study and research.
Part of her work is dedicated to increasing awareness of this area. She organizes and promotes several talks to inform the general population and healthcare professionals about the importance of pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation.
