Description
More than half of adult women have pelvic floor dysfunctions such as loss of bladder control, bowel pain, pubic symphysis pain and prolapse. Most dysfunctions include a Diastasis Rectus Abdominis which is the tell tale sign of fascial loosening in the core corset.
Put your foundational Pilates skills and biomechanics knowledge to work to learn simple and effective strategies to prevent and heal Diastasis and dysfunctions that go along with the unraveling of this connective tissue.
Learn sequences for healing and advancing the DRA client and strategies on how to best work in conjunction with doctors and physical therapist will also be discussed.
This information will be valuable to anyone that works with the DRA population including PT's, massage therapists, yoga instructors and Personal trainers as well as the Pilates professional.
