The Pelvic Floor is often an overlooked component to full healing, from chronic back and hip pain to birth trauma, & psychosomatic relationships. The pelvic floor has faced a psychosocial inhibition that has diminished the availability for proper care. What if instead we brought awareness and empowerment to this vital portion of our bodies, removing the misunderstanding, silence, and shame! Why work the pelvic floor? How do we assess if a pelvic floor is hypertonic? Hypotonic? What systemic experiences would either of those conditions cause? Can YOU embody your pelvic floor? In this class we will explore these topics and bring insight to:

~Anatomy and physiology of the pelvis

~ Neurobiology, trauma, & integrative consciousness

~ Boundaries, & communication

~ Pathologies pertaining to all genders

~ Pelvic floor fascia, myofascial assessment and treatment planning
