Natural Pelvic Floor Support: Create Effortless Strength For Long Lasting Continence & Confidence
8th June 2024
The pelvic floor is a three dimensional dome that is comprised of muscular, fascial and organic components.
One of the main functions of the pelvic floor is to dynamically support the pelvic organs in many situations that come with a variety of forces.
To naturally support the pelvic organs in all situations without excessive pelvic tension, multiple structures need to be considered, not just the pelvic diaphragm.
In this workshop you will learn:
- The 5 principles to pelvic floor health and how to practically implement them in your classes.
- Exercises to dynamically tone and strengthen the pelvic floor for lasting pelvic support.
- Movements to stretch and release certain areas of the pelvic floor.
- Improve the co-ordination of the pelvic floor muscles, effortlessly promoting pelvic organ support.
- How to integrate the inner thighs, abdominals and hip rotators into your pelvic floor training and why these are essential muscle groups for a strong pelvic floor.
- Clearly understand the many fascial layers of the pelvic floor and how they relate to each other in pelvic movement and alignment.
- Learn what cues are appropriate for promoting pelvic floor health and when to use them.
- Train fascial recoil and fascial glide in the pelvic floor as well as the surrounding myofascial tissues.
- How the movements of the pelvic bones inform the fascial and muscular tone of the pelvic floor.
- Conditioning exercises for different regions of the pelvic floor (the urogenital triangle and anal triangle).

The Knee Solution: Automatic Stability For Life
7th September 2024
The knee is the largest joint in the body, needing to self stabilise while also permitting large degrees of movement.
Many times the weight of the body travels through the knee in everyday activities, meaning the knee has to be suitably reinforced through a complex system or ligaments, bone, muscle and fascial tissue.
Understanding the mechanism in which the knee maintains it’s integrity under load is the key to long lasting, strong and healthy knees.
In this workshop you will learn:
- Exercise to protect and reinforce the cartilage of the knee.
- Updated biomechanics of the knee joints (recent research) and how to reinforce healthy knee mechanics in your classes.
- How to assess the knee so you can make informed decisions on how to best train your client’s knee based on their specific biomechanics.
- Assess the ankle joint and consider the impact ankle biomechanics with have on knee biomechanics.
- Muscle energy techniques for the ankle and knee, improving lower limb alignment.
- Access effortless walking by waking up your iliotibial band.
- Train the fascia of the knee for elastic support, reducing excessive muscular effort.

The Balanced Shoulder: Dynamic Alignment for Optimal Muscle Tone
8th September 2024
The shoulder girdle is a tensegrity bridge between the axial and perpendicular skeleton.
The positioning, tension and movements of the shoulder complex informs how forces are transferred from the spine to the arm, an essential relationship for balanced muscle tone across the neck, shoulders and jaw.
In this workshop you will learn:
- How to teach your clients to effortlessly balance their shoulders for relaxation and greater flexibility.
- Exercises to promote suspension at the arms for a more uplifted posture.
- Experience how jaw tension and position influences the biomechanics of the shoulders.
- Explore the fascial layers of the neck and how to move each layer for optimal neck alignment.
- Techniques to mobilise the nerves of the neck, shoulder and arm, liberating neural tension.
- Learn to assess the rotator cuff + provide corrective exercise to improve function and balance for the glenohumeral joint.
- Biomechanics of the wrist + wrist release techniques to access greater shoulder flexibility.
