Pelvic Floor Basic Anatomy, Physiology and Exercises

ARE YOU OR DO YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO…

• Have heavy and painful menstrual periods
• Experiencing pain during or after sex
• Waking up more than once a night to urinate
• Feeling heaviness, pressure, or discomfort in the pelvic area
• Leaking urine when you laugh, sneeze, cough, or exercise
• Suffering from persistent low back or hip pain
• Feeling pain in the pelvis or tailbone
• Are pregnant or in the postpartum period
• Have noticed separation of the abdominal muscles

Every woman deserves a healthy pelvic floor that functions optimally.

Our osteopaths Deborah Tassi and Aleksandra Zegalski will explain how the pelvic floor works; how it works with the abdominal muscles and other muscles in the pelvis to stabilize the spine, and how it supports the organs and physiology associated with it. We will talk about muscular imbalances and how these can contribute to pelvic floor dysfunction. We will also focus on conditions such as endometriosis, vulvodynia and incontinence – and give you practical advice, an introduction to exercises and self-care tips to get you started.

At the end of the workshop you will have:

• Knowledge of anatomy and physiology of the pelvic floor
• Knowledge about pelvic floor dysfunctions and conditions
• Insight into how osteopathy can help with pelvic floor problems
• Advice on what you can do yourself to improve your pelvic awareness and health
• Basic exercises to strengthen and work the pelvic floor

This workshop is perfect for you if you want to become more aware of and learn more about your pelvic floor – or if you are working on healing specific pelvic floor dysfunctions.

Enjoy the course 🙂
