Following the success of the four previous international symposia ‘Idealized Integrated Pelvic Care’, the fifth edition will take place on October 5, 2026.
This symposium is centered around the theme:
‘Female Sexual Dysfunction & the Pelvic Floor, from Myofascial Dysfunction to Central Sensitization — An Integrated Clinical Model’.
This multidisciplinary symposium focuses on the assessment and management of female sexuality from a physiotherapy-led perspective. It integrates the latest scientific evidence from pelvic physiotherapy, pain science, gynecology, and psychology.
The symposium takes place on the day preceding the International Continence Society (ICS) congress, which will be held this year at the MECC in Maastricht. In close collaboration with the ICS, the proceeds of the symposium will be used to support a special evening event on Wednesday, October 7. Symposium participants will receive complimentary access to this event.
An engaging and comprehensive program has been developed for pelvic physiotherapists, general practitioners, gynecologists, urologists, continence nurses, and many other healthcare professionals.
Renowned Dutch and international speakers will join Bary Berghmans.
The symposium will once again be held in the beautiful and atmospheric city of Maastricht, the Netherlands, in collaboration with the ICS and Maastricht University Medical Center+ (MUMC+). The venue will again be NH Hotel Maastricht, located right next to MUMC+ and Maastricht Randwyck railway station.
Participants will have the opportunity to stay at the NH Hotel. For more information, please contact symposium@iclimburg.nl.

The new guidance outside the treatment room
An innovative app developed by Dr. Maura Seleme enables patients to actively engage in pelvic floor muscle training alongside their in-clinic pelvic physiotherapy. This app not only helps patients train the correct muscles, but also supports them in consistently performing the exercises, contributing to sustainable and long-lasting results.
