TWO DAY WORKSHOP
The Pelvic Diaphragm Workshop is based on the book, The Pelvic Diaphragm: Treating Pain and Dysfunction from a Global Anatomical Perspective by Julie Hammond.
In this two-day workshop, we will take a deep dive into the intricate and complex local anatomy of both the male and female pelvis and pelvic diaphragm from the perineum to the fascial diaphragm of the endopelvic fascia.
Once the local anatomy is understood, it is vital to appreciate how it fits into a global context. The pelvis is balanced within a larger global tensegrity structure. There are fascial and functional connections between the pelvic diaphragm and the respiratory diaphragm, as well as a functional relationship with the feet and ankles.
There is a clear link between the ankle and pelvic positions, which affects the pelvic diaphragm within.
The workshop will incorporate the latest research on these connections and their relevance to clinical practice. Making sure the pelvis has adequate support above and below before easing tension in the pelvic diaphragm, so the client can maintain the changes.
The aim is to inspire and excite students by making misunderstood, complex anatomy relatable. The focus is on the fascial connections between the pelvic diaphragm and respiratory diaphragm, introducing newer anatomical concepts. This is supported by current research that can inform clinical practice.
Clear guidelines are provided, including fascial release techniques, self-release (client homework), and experiential activities.
NOTE: A pair of FAMO Massage Balls and a Tune Up Fitness® Coregeous® ball is included for each participant.
