Ready to master anorectal pelvic floor physiotherapy?
Your instructors
Hi, we are Delphine and Isabelle
They embody a pelvic floor physiotherapy that is expert, committed and firmly focused on passing knowledge on: with complementary career paths, they combine solid clinical practice in the private sector with a major commitment to teaching, research and professional associations.
Delphine Girard , part of a new generation of instructors and the current president of the AFRePP, enriches this vision with a whole-person biopsychosocial approach, firmly grounded in clinical research, patient education and professional networks. Together they offer demanding, humane and up-to-date teaching, in the service of pelvic floor management that is modern, cross-disciplinary and grounded in the scientific evidence.
Isabelle Gien , a pioneer of the field with more than 25 years of experience, brings deep expertise in urogynaecological and proctological rehabilitation, built on her long-standing involvement with the AFRePP, her work as a university instructor and her active part in conferences and prevention campaigns.
