Pelvic Simulators vs. Peer-Based Learning: Drawing a Line in the Sand

Is the tradition of physios practicing on physios finally reaching its expiration date?

In the world of pelvic health, physios practicing on physios has been the standard for decades. But is it time to admit that this tradition has run its course?

In this episode Sarah Norris, Pelvic Health Physio, Clinic Owner & Founder of Everything Woman, is joined by the incredible Lucia Berry, a true titan in the field of pelvic health. As the Chair of the POGP (Pelvic, Obstetric and Gynaecological Physiotherapy) and a Senior Lecturer at Brunel University, Lucia has developed world-renowned pelvic health modules and is at the forefront of clinical education.

We dive into a candid, nuanced conversation about:

  • The Middle Ground" of Technology: Acknowledging that while simulators aren't a perfect replica of human tissue, they provide a vital, safe space for skill acquisition without the ethical complexities of peer modeling.

  • The Problem with the Status Quo: Why the historical reliance on colleagues as models is increasingly at odds with modern standards of consent and student well-being.

  • Moving the Profession Forward: Why 'the way we’ve always done it' isn’t a good enough reason to stay still.

This isn't just a debate about tools—it’s a conversation about the culture of physiotherapy. We explore the limitations of both methods and discuss why, for the sake of the profession’s future, we must move on.
