Research is an important part of the Academy of Pelvic Health Physical Therapy. The advancement of pelvic and abdominal health physical therapy depends on research requiring the participation of investigators, research assistants and participants. We invite you to become involved in research. Whether you are an investigator with interests in launching or funding a research project or interested in participating in someone else’s research project or survey, we invite you to explore the opportunities and resources listed below.

The Academy supports research through the quarterly publication of its Journal of Women’s Health Physical Therapy, developing clinical practice guidelines (CPG) supported by evidence, funding research through grants or scholarships, promoting poster and platform presentations at the annual APTA Combined Sections Meeting, offering Academy members a platform to distribute their research surveys to its members and followers, donating to research through the partnership with the Foundation for Physical Therapy Research to increase research in women’s health and supplying the public with helpful resources gathered from the Academy, the American Physical Therapy Association, PT NOW and the NIH.
