I recently completed an advanced course on Pelvic Health delivered by a specialist Women’s and Men’s Health Physiotherapist and also a Myofascial Release practitioner. This course was delivered by Myofascial Release UK with whom I completed my Advanced Myofascial Release Diploma. The course was excellent, exploring the complexities of the pelvis, anatomy, pelvic pain and conditions and of course how to treat.
The pelvic floor and wall muscles and it’s soft tissues are integral to the functional ability and hence movement of our lumbosacral spine (lower back and sacrum area), hips, legs and abdominal wall.
Treatments are focused on these areas and also the pelvic floor and wall which are treatable with internal pelvic floor techniques. Treatments create awareness and enhance proprioception (which is our bodies own sense of how we move and adjust) and this helps our knowledge and “feel” and awareness of the pelvic floor area and so post treatment Client’s know what they need to do for self-care and rehab.
The reason for undertaking this course is to continue to expand my knowledge of the pelvis - how to discuss pelvic pain and what questions to ask? To enable me to use my soft tissue skills effectively in this area. Pelvic health can be an area so often overlooked - from women’ postpartum challenges, menopausal transitions and operations, injuries and stress incontinence.
