  Welcome to Season 2 of AMC Clinical Deep Dive! Pelvic Floor Muscle Training (PFMT) is a high-yield intervention with NHMRC Level 1 evidence for managing urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse. This episode dives into the "gold standard" protocol: 8–12 repetitions of near-maximal, 6–8 second contractions performed 1–3 times daily. Master "The Knack"—consciously bracing the pelvic floor before coughing or lifting—and the critical importance of specialised physiotherapist referral for ultrasound-guided technique. We cover safety for post-prostatectomy patients and lifestyle hacks like caffeine reduction to ensure you deliver a professional, evidence-based management plan that examiners love.#AMCClinicalExam PelvicFloorMuscleTraining #PFMT #TheKnack #UrinaryIncontinence #OSCEManagement #IMGAustralia #ProstatectomyRecoveryPro Tip: In the OSCE, never just tell a patient to "do Kegels." Specifically mention "The Knack" by name and recommend a 3-month supervised program with a specialised physiotherapist. Citing NHMRC Level 1 evidence and suggesting a 1–2 week trial (or a 3-month review) demonstrates that you are following the latest Australian GP guidelines for integrated, evidence-based care.🎧 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Episodes in ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Season 1⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (150 clinical scenarios) have been indexed by topic, patient group, discipline, setting, and more to support targeted learning.
