About the workshop:

The workshop is based on Julie Hammonds’ book, “The pelvic diaphragm: Treating pain and dysfunction from a global anatomical perspective.” Pelvic pain and dysfunction are multifaceted problems affecting both men and women and their quality of life. Pelvic diaphragm dysfunction is considered an isolated event, and it isn’t. A pelvis problem is never just a pelvis problem, and many other factors go with it. In this two-day workshop, we will take a deep dive into the intricate and complex local anatomy of both the male and female pelvis and pelvic diaphragm from the perineum to the fascial diaphragm of the endopelvic fascia. 

Once the local anatomy is understood, it is vital to appreciate how it fits into a global context. The pelvis is balanced within a larger global tensegrity structure. There are fascial and functional connections between the pelvic diaphragm and the respiratory diaphragm, as well as a functional relationship with the feet and ankles. There is a clear link between the ankle and pelvic positions, which affects the pelvic diaphragm within. The workshop will incorporate the latest research on these connections and their relevance to clinical practice. Making sure the pelvis has adequate support above and below before easing tension in the pelvic diaphragm, so the client can maintain the changes.

The aim is to inspire and excite students by making misunderstood, complex anatomy relatable. The focus is on the fascial connections between the pelvic diaphragm and respiratory diaphragm, introducing newer anatomical concepts. This is supported by current research that can inform clinical practice. Clear guidelines are provided, including fascial release techniques, self-release (client homework), and experiential activities.

Learning outcomes: 

At the end of the two days, you will:

• Have a clear understanding of pelvis and pelvic diaphragm anatomy, and a love of this anatomy.
• Be able to assess the pelvis and understand its relationship within the global tensegrity structure
• Explain the fascial and functional connections above and below
• Incorporate breath and pelvic diaphragm function together to ease or stimulate the pelvic diaphragm
• Understand the importance of treating global before local

Who is this workshop for?

This workshop is a blend of theory, manual techniques, experiential and self-release techniques with myofascial balls. It is ideal for manual therapists and movement practitioners who teach one to one or small groups, who are looking to deepen their pelvis anatomy knowledge and understanding of global connections, encouraging practitioners to zoom out and think outside the box.
