M1 The Pelvic Floor & Core : Foundations in Anatomy & Function

Image from : Lesson 2 The Bony Anatomy of the Pelvis

Introduction

This is an in-depth course on Anatomy and Physiology of the Pelvis, Pelvic Floor and Core and the complete 'Core' system. It comprising 6 hours of online education broken down into 20 lessons.

Whilst this is a stand-alone course, it is also a module in the Women’s Wellness Specialist Qualification and in the Exercise for Female Pelvic Health Specialist Qualification.

The Module starts with anatomy lessons encompassing the Bones and Bony Landmarks of the Pelvis and moves onto the structure and functions of the Pelvic Floor.   These are initially treated in Isolation but as the module builds, they form a part of a story that builds Pelvic Floor function into a more and more complex series of cogs as the local muscles move into eh Global muscles systems and the function of the muscles and the fascia are incorporated.

The lesson moves on to show how an instructor can tell whether a client is activating their muscle systems correctly and effectively before looking at the research evidence to show how the brain and also autologous systems can combine with external cueing from the instructor to train the Pelvic floor muscles and the order in which they fire.

The module moves on to focus on the Pilates Principles and how we can take the knowledge we have gained from the theory lessons and put these in to practice for each of the main Principles – practical routines are presented for each that you can take away and work with immediately with clients.

The course finishes by considering how you should take all this information and absorb it into your normal Pilates teaching.
