Description Of Manual Therapy For The Pelvic Floor

Manual Therapy Techniques to address the Pelvic Floor

Is the pelvic floor the missing piece in your practice?

Training how to work the pelvic floor is training that’s often left out in most manual therapy schools. For some reason, this anatomical hub is left to the wayside. As I’ve been thinking about why this is the case, it occurs to me that maybe it is because people haven’t been able to figure out how to access this tissue in a way that both respects the boundaries of the client and also doesn’t exceed our scope of practice.

Addressing the pelvic floor can profoundly change your work

In my practice, as I’ve been experimenting with ways to access the pelvic floor, I’ve found some amazing benefits from addressing this area. The more familiar I become with working this area, the more I understand it to have been somewhat of a missing link in my practice over the years. I’ve used this work to help my clients recover from injuries, to address postnatal issues, and to help with incontinence.

Knowing how to address the pelvic floor with specificity and confidence can make a huge difference in your practice and this course teaches you just that. You’ll learn how to safely and effectively access some of the major pelvic floor muscles and be able to easily incorporate these manual therapy techniques from this course into your practice.

By the end of this course, you’ll be equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to help your clients overcome a wide range of pelvic floor dysfunctions, including urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, and post natal issues. You’ll be able to apply these techniques with confidence, giving your clients the results they need to live a healthy, pain-free life.
