The Wizard of LUTS
When “just do kegels” isn’t cutting it anymore.
Treat bladder dysfunction, post-op incontinence, and male urgency with clinical clarity, not guesswork.
You might already treat these cases, but results can be hit or miss.
You’ll Walk Away Ready to Treat...
This masterclass on lower urinary tract symptoms and benign prostatic hyperplasia gives you a clear, structured approach to confidently treat the male clients you already see. That includes the men who still leak, hesitate, or wake up every hour — even when they’re doing everything “right.”
The IPC framework for treating LUTS & BPH
✅ Post-prostatectomy incontinence
✅ Bladder urgency and frequency
✅ Voiding dysfunction and retention
✅ Complex or mixed LUTS presentations
✅ Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
✅ Neurogenic bladder symptoms
✅ Prostate cancer patients (pre and post-op)
But more importantly, you'll learn how to:
🔹 Recognize when pelvic floor strengthening helps and when it makes symptoms worse
🔹 Use spine-based testing to reduce urgency and hesitancy
🔹 Assess and influence bladder pressure through posture and breath control
🔹 Move beyond "tight vs. weak" thinking and target the true mechanical contributors to LUTS
Charlotte Lapeyre, pelvic physical therapist
As pelvic floor therapists, we’re trained to focus on the pelvic floor. But this course completely changed my perspective. I learned how to treat bladder dysfunction by addressing posture, breathing, and pressure — not just doing Kegels.
Follow the Yellow Brick Road to 20 CEUs
Approved by the California (#25-211) and Illinois PT (#977-9668) Associations . Real cases, real tools, and yes — it’s actually fun to take.
Not in CA or IL? Many states accept CEUs through reciprocity or self-submission. Check with your licensing board to confirm.

What Makes This Course Different?
Not just more pelvic floor exercises and protocols. A full-body upgrade to how you assess and treat male urinary dysfunction.
✅ A clear framework (4MZ) to organize symptoms and drivers
✅ Tools to assess bladder pressure, posture, and breath
✅ Video flow and pee charts to guide your reasoning
✅ Practice with real male models (no awkward peer work)
✅ Know when kegels help — and when they don’t
Use the tools your male patients wish you already had.
With prostate surgeries rising and success rates as low as 17%, it’s time to go beyond the pelvic floor.
Practical Tools You Won’t Find Anywhere Else
Built inside the IPC LUTS Framework, these tools help you see, analyze, and treat male urinary symptoms with clarity.
IPC Flow Video Analysis
Spot voiding dysfunction by observing posture, timing, and effort in real time. Supports zone-based reasoning.
IPC Pee Charts
Structured transcriptions of your flow video. Reveal patterns, guide treatment, and improve patient understanding.
IPC Cup Test
Assess bladder capacity and pressure control during real-world tasks. Simple to apply and powerful for patient education.
These tools are unique to IPC. They help you see what’s really driving your patient’s symptoms — and give you a way to explain it clearly, treat it confidently, and bring your patients with you.
Marie-Christine Trahan, pelvic physiotherapist 14+ years of experience
My favourite tool is the IPC cup test. I’m going to use this right away with my patients starting Monday. I already ordered the cups!

Vishwa Buch, pelvic physical therapist
“I used to think there were just two types of incontinence. Now I know there are five — and how to treat each of them without just doing Kegels all the time. This course gave me tools I can actually use to figure out where symptoms are coming from and what to do about them.”

Di Wu trained as a medical doctor and completed his residency in Beijing. He practiced as an Orthopedic Surgeon for several years, before establishing himself in Montreal, Canada. In Montreal, he attended physical therapy school at McGill university where he was the first man to enrol in the pelvic floor course. He adapted his learning from that course, which solely focused on women, to be able to effectively treat men.
Over the past decade, drawing inspiration from his background as a doctor and as a PT, he has built a framework to help him get repeatable and reliable treatment results for treating male pelvic pain. After almost a decade of refinement and conducting studies to corroborate the findings, Di has solidified the framework. He now shares his knowledge and passion about male pelvic pain nationally and internationally with PTs who are interested in treating male pelvic pain.
Frequently asked questions
-
All courses have been built to bring you maximal value and to give you the tried and tested assessments and treatments that yield results in-clinic. We’ve taken theoretical courses before and it was hard to figure out how to apply what was learned in practice, so we understand where you’re coming from. Rest assured, we have packed the courses with applicable techniques and treatments. The best part is that IPC is built on the latest evidence as we do research with academic partners once patterns are discovered in-clinic.
-
No, men and women differ a lot when it comes to pelvic issues. While we believe that there is knowledge that is common and useful for treating both men and women, we believe that it’s like learning how to play violin versus how to play piano.
There are commonalities such as how to read music sheet, there are many fundamental differences between playing both instrument. At IPC we pride ourselves in providing the most comprehensive courses so you can successfully treat men even you haven’t had any experience before.

We have three flagship courses. One that is focused on treating pain: The Four Horsemen of Male Pelvic Pain. One that is focused on treating LUTS: The Wizard of LUTS. And the other one is focused on treating erectile dysfunction: “Rhythms of ED”.
Our courses are Masterclasses that provide you with all the necessary information and practical tools to succeed in helping your patients who are suffering from pelvic pain or erectile dysfunction.
As we share in our courses, treating pain is drastically different from treating erectile dysfunction, therefore which course you wish to start with will depend on your interest and goals as a clinician.
-
Currently our flagship Four Horsemen of Male Pelvic Pain is an in-person course with some online pre-work to be done prior to attending the course. Same thing for our Wizard of LUTS.
Our ED courses are fully online and self-paced.
-
We welcome any health professionals has male pelvic health within their scope of practice. As always, it is the responsibility of a course participant to guarantee that they are legally able to conduct the techniques taught in an IPC course prior to participating.
