Reconnect to your Pelvic Floor CPD Teacher Training
This is an essential training course for any Pilates & Yoga teacher who teaches Women.
Enhance your knowledge of the Pelvic Floor and its function, learn why it is important to adapt exercise to help women maintain a healthy functioning pelvic floor throughout their lives.
Mary incorporates her clinical experience she gained as a senior NHS Physiotherapist in Women's health combined with Pilates & Yoga to help you develop a deeper understanding of the female pelvic floor and its dysfunctions.
During this workshop we will review the anatomy of the female pelvis and examine how common gynaecological surgery , the impact of child birth and hormonal changes during a women’s life can all effect this group of muscles.
We will then explore the fascial connections of the lower quadrant, the diaphragm and breath and how their function is relevant to addressing pelvic floor dysfunction in clients.
The outcome of this course will be a deeper understanding of how an holistic approach is required when addressing pelvic floor dysfunction as well as equipping you with exercise tools you can use with clients.
The workshop is delivered by a combination of live zoom and pre recorded study sessions accompanied with a course booklet.
