Important

Keeping this feature free for practitioners 😃 means there are significant limitations in how much I can tailor the application experience 😔

Unfortunately this means it is not intuitive.

It is MUCH EASIER/QUICKER to KEEP THIS TAB OPEN and FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS as you go.

Step 1: read the instructions in all 4 FAQ boxes to make it faster and to protect your privacy. 

Step 2: click on the green link below to go to the page that hosts the listings.

Step 3: Begin the process by clicking Sign in (next to the green "add listing" button) at the top right. If you can't see it, click on the 3 horizontal lines in the same location. Use the walk me through it FAQ to guide the rest of the process

If you're having trouble, please don't give up. Women need you! Reach out to [email protected] and I will try my best to help.

There are 3 sections to add information

1. Registration
2. Your personal profile
3. Your workplace listing (you can attach multiple workplace listings to your personal profile if you have multiple jobs where people can access perineal massage)

1. Registration

After clicking sign in, click register below the sign in fields. 

The email you use for registration is NOT visible to patients unless you use the same email again later when you're creating you listing. For registration, you should use an email address that you can access easily.  

This is the only item that you should enter that you may wish to keep confidential. Potential patients will be able to see the other information.

2. Your personal profile

After registration, click the info tab next to the green "add listing" button. Then click settings

• Add one photo of yourself (square with your face in the centre. At least 100x100 pixels)
• Add the names you use for work

Under profile info add your relevant work bio. For example

• What year did you become a physiotherapist (or other) & where did you study?
• Registration or relevant professional memberships
• What extra training or qualifications enable you to do internal pelvic floor work. Where did you study? What year did you finish?
• How much experience do you have with pregnancy and birth?
• What year did you complete the Perineal Massage with Confidence course?

3. Your work listing

On the home page of the directory, search for your workplace.

***If your workplace is already listed (by another practitioner), they will need to edit the business information to include your name etc (see FAQ: can I edit the listing).

***Only add a listing if you work somewhere else that is not already listed in the directory. If not, scroll down these instructions to "Finally"

Click the green add listing button again. This time you will be able to enter details about your work place.

• Add a picture/s of your workplace logo or building if you like (ideally 754 x 561 pixels)
• Add your certificate of completion of the Perineal Massage with Confidence course as another image
• Title = the business name of your workplace
• All contact details entered at this stage should be for your workplace rather than personal
• Essential information to include in the description section:
  • Name each practitioner working at this business who has completed the Perineal Massage with Confidence course. Don't name them if they don't have a  certificate of completion for the images. 
  • Very brief qualifications of each practitioner (see the Alchemy in Motion listing for an example)
• Feel free to add other information about the business in the description if you like.  E.g. the practice has a women's health focus. 

Finally

click submit listing and wait 15 days to see whether it is approved.

If it is not showing on the directory and you haven't been contacted or you're hoping to speed up the approval process, please email [email protected]

After submission, you can't edit the workplace profile until it is approved, but you can edit your personal profile in settings.

Yes... as long as it is before submission, or after it is approved! This makes no sense, but I can't alter it unfortunately. If you know you need to edit your listing and it hasn't been approved yet, (so it doesn't show up on the listings yet), please email info@pelvicfloormechanics so the approval process can be accelerated. 

After approval, the listing becomes visible. You can then sign in to edit your own listing, but not others'

• If you made a mistake
• If your work situation changes
• If you gain additional qualifications
• etc.

If another practitioner at your workplace does the course

• They DO need to register
• They DON'T need to add a listing unless it's for a different workplace that is not listed
• You will have to log in to edit the workplace listing to include their name, qualifications and their certificate of completion of Perineal Massage with Confidence 

Is highly recommend but not compulsory.

People prefer to see the person and workplace when choosing practitioners.

What sort of image files?

• .png
• Screen shot from your website if required 

For your personal profile

• Only one photo of yourself 
• Square with your face roughly in the centre
• At least 100x100 pixels
• You can easily remove the image and replace it with another whenever required

For your workplace listing:

• Ideal sizing is ~754 x 561 pixels (Not essential. It resizes whatever image you add, but it may mess up the shape/quality)
• The thumbnail image that shows when you upload an image is square, but after you save it and return to your listing, it displays rectangular (landscape). 
• After your listing is approved, if you are not happy with your images, you can easily remove them and add different/resized images by signing in a pressing edit on your listing.
