Course Description: This is a 2-day course designed to provide an evidence based and biologically plausible approach to the effects of intra-abdominal pressure with and without back and cervical dysfunction and the resultant performance and fatigue of the pelvic floor musculature. A complete review of the anatomy and physiology of the system from the glottis to the pelvic floor will be provided with links clinical reasoning for intervention of manual therapy, movement and exercise. The concepts of movement and exercise to match the musculoskeletal dysfunction will include the effects of thoracic and cervical dysfunctions on prolapse, incontinence, GI dysfunction, and lumbo/abdomino/pelvic pain. Concepts of postural dysfunction, physiological changes and the trigeminal alarm system will be introduced as effects of chronic adaptataions within the system. The course will include an interactive format for discussion of the current concepts and the application of interventions. There will be a strong emphasis on lab with movement experiences and clinical reasoning.
Please come to class in casual movement attire.
