Evidence Without the Headache: A Clinician’s Survival Guide with Malgorzata Starzec-Proserpio

Overview

Research in physiotherapy, especially in pelvic health, can often feel messy, contradictory, and difficult to apply in day-to-day practice. This webinar aims to make the process simpler. It will introduce practical ways to stay evidence-informed and share tools that help quickly recognize which studies are worth reading in depth and which are not, making it easier to navigate confusing results and critically interpret new papers.

The session will also explore how clinical experience and research evidence can be integrated - showing that effective practice is not a choice between one or the other, but a thoughtful combination of both.

Participants will work through real-world examples and common interpretation pitfalls, with the goal of building greater confidence and reducing the sense of overwhelm when translating research into meaningful clinical care.
