Pelvic Balance Workshop
Restore pelvic balance, restore optimal movement.
The pelvic floor is an integral part of human movement. Learn how to assess pelvic balance and function, then develop an exercise program to correct dysfunctions.
What You’ll Learn From This Course:
Upon completion of this Pelvic Balance Workshop, you will:
Be able to explain local ligament and pelvic floor anatomy, including pubic and hip joints, and also identify the differences in male and female anatomy.
Have a better understanding of what pelvic balance means, what is involved, why it is important, and the most common imbalances.
Know how to assess pelvic girdle and T-spine mobility, then implement mobilization techniques.
Recognize the types of conditions that can lead to pain in the pelvic area.
Learn how to apply pelvis rehabilitation concepts when working with clients who have a pelvic dysfunction.
Understand how to create a pelvic core and foot-to-core workout to help restore pelvic balance.
How You Can Use It:
The Pelvic Balance Workshop was co-developed by Dr. Emily Splichal, a functional podiatrist and human movement specialist who also founded EBFA Global, an education company that seeks to change lives by applying the science behind proprioception, sensory sequencing, neuroplasticity, and more.
Fitness trainers can use the information learned in this course to gain a better understanding of the pelvic floor and its fascial attachments, then apply this information when conducting client assessments to better identify whether a pelvic balance or functional issue might exist. The Pelvic Balance Workshop also teaches trainers how to develop an exercise program that helps rehabilitate this important area.
The Pelvic Balance Workshop can be helpful when training clients of all ages and fitness levels – because they all have a pelvis. It helps trainers better understand how the pelvis is connected to the foot, and what happens if the rhythm of this connection isn’t effectively stabilized. It also provides insight into how to get the pelvic floor to relax using specific breathing and movement techniques.
