Many providers in aesthetics and wellness have had a patient bring up something they weren’t quite prepared to address, whether it’s urinary incontinence, changes in sensation, vaginal dryness, or another pelvic health concern outside their existing training.
This is a common gap in provider education and not a reflection of a provider’s overall clinical ability. Specialized women’s health training can help practitioners build the knowledge and skills needed to better understand these concerns and determine appropriate treatment options.
At RUMA Academy in Lehi, UT, the Women’s Health Course is designed for qualified practitioners who want to expand their knowledge of intimate wellness and pelvic health. The course covers non-surgical treatment approaches for concerns including urinary incontinence, vaginal laxity, dryness, and changes in sensation.
Why Are Urinary Incontinence and Sensation Concerns Common but Undertreated?
Urinary incontinence and changes in sexual sensation are concerns many women experience, yet they are not always discussed openly during routine appointments.
Several factors can contribute to this gap:
- Patients may feel uncomfortable bringing up intimate concerns with their provider.
- Providers may not have received specialized training in women’s pelvic and sexual health.
- Symptoms can have multiple contributing factors and may require individualized assessment.
- Patients may not realize that non-surgical treatment options may be available depending on their specific circumstances.
For aesthetic and wellness providers, specialized women’s health education can create an opportunity to better recognize these concerns, understand appropriate treatment considerations, and determine when additional evaluation or referral may be appropriate.
What Does the Women’s Health Course Cover?
The Women’s Health Course provides a comprehensive overview of non-surgical treatments that support intimate wellness and pelvic health. This includes:
- Radiofrequency technologies used to address concerns such as incontinence, laxity, dryness, and changes in sensation
- Regenerative medicine techniques designed to support tissue health, healing, and repair
- Regenerative treatments, including the Ohh Shot, and their potential applications in intimate wellness
- Education on treatment techniques, appropriate injection approaches, patient selection, and treatment planning
- Strategies for integrating women’s health services into an existing practice
The course combines technology-specific training with education on regenerative medicine, giving practitioners a broader understanding of the treatment options available within women’s health. Providers learn how regenerative treatments can be incorporated into individualized care plans based on a patient’s specific concerns, anatomy, goals, and clinical needs.
Regenerative medicine is an important component of the training, with providers learning how biologic treatments may be used to support tissue health and repair in specific areas of intimate anatomy. The course also emphasizes proper technique, patient comfort, informed consent, appropriate documentation, and follow-up as important components of responsible regenerative care.
How the Course Addresses Lack of Sensation and Related Sexual Wellness Concerns
Beyond incontinence, the course also covers the clinical background behind reduced sensation, vaginal dryness, and painful intercourse, concerns that can overlap in how they present and what may contribute to them.
- Improving vaginal dryness and intimacy with women’s health training is part of this broader curriculum
- Addressing painful intercourse and lack of sensation is covered as a related sexual wellness concern
- Regenerative medicine techniques are introduced as an approach that may support tissue health, healing, and repair in appropriate patients
- Regenerative treatments, including the Ohh Shot, are incorporated into the course’s broader education on women’s sexual wellness
Providers receive education on appropriate treatment techniques and patient considerations, including the importance of informed consent, documenting biologic use and treatment details, monitoring patient tolerance, and maintaining appropriate follow-up.
The course reinforces that these are nuanced concerns requiring individualized assessment and treatment planning rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Who Is the Women’s Health Course Designed For?
The Women’s Health Course is designed for qualified healthcare practitioners in women’s health, aesthetics, and related fields who are interested in expanding their clinical education and services.
Because licensing requirements and scope of practice vary by profession and state, prospective students should review the course prerequisites and confirm that any services they plan to offer are appropriate within their individual credentials and scope of practice.
For providers in the Lehi, UT area looking to expand into women’s health and intimate wellness, specialized education can be an important step toward developing these services responsibly.
What Can Providers Take Away From the Course?
The goal of specialized women’s health training is to give providers a stronger clinical foundation for understanding and addressing intimate health concerns.
After completing the course, providers may have a better understanding of:
- How to identify patients who may benefit from women’s health services
- How to approach patient assessment and treatment planning
- Available non-surgical treatment modalities covered in the curriculum
- How to incorporate women’s health services into an existing practice
- When a patient’s concerns may warrant additional evaluation or referral
The course itself does not replace ongoing clinical judgment, individualized patient assessment, or applicable licensing and scope-of-practice requirements. Instead, it provides additional education that providers can build upon within their professional practice.
