With Sarah Parker, Physiotherapist. in Blythe Hill Fields.

How well do you know your body? Do you know what the core actually is? Could you name the parts of your genitalia if it were shown to you? Do you know how to activate your “core” properly?

This two hour workshop will be focused on your true core; the pelvis, pelvic floor and its anatomy, function and dysfunction.

Expect to leave this workshop understanding about breathing and proper core activation and why traditional core exercises are not your friend.

You will learn about:

• External female genitalia & internal organs

• Pelvic floor anatomy & function

• Dysfunctions of the pelvic floor and symptoms

• What your diaphragm does and what role it plays in your biomechanics

• How important posture and spinal position are

• Why feet are crucial for the pelvic floor and general biomechanics

• How your jaw plays a role in your pelvic floor

• How to access your deep core with breathing techniques & exercises.

…and how to integrate all of these things in to your every day life!

We want to spread the word on pelvic floor and Sarah’s goal in life is to educate as many people as possible on their wonderful bodies and its capabilities!

Are you pregnant and know the pelvic floor is important for birthing but not sure why?

Are you postnatal and keen to get back to exercise but feel a little hollow around your core or unsure how to get started?

Have you been told you have Diastasis Recti and you’re not really sure what that is, or how it affects you?

Are you leaking when you sneeze laugh or run and feeling lost about what to do?

Perhaps you’re a PT or a movement teacher who works with women and you want to understand how you can better support them?

This workshop is for anyone wanting to know more about the female core and pelvic floor. As simple as that!
