Are you struggling to understand the current scientific evidence that suggests that low back, hip and pelvic pain do not always relate to pelvic imbalance and poor posture? - you are not alone.
Pelvic Balancing Pro is specifically designed to build your expertise in providing excellent hands-on care drawn from an evidence informed perspective.
This essential workshop is tailored for therapists who currently have myofascial soft tissue remedial skills. Delve into the nuanced relationship between the pelvis, hips, low back, and legs. Gain profound insights into movement and structure assessment, realising that perfection isn't paramount – asymmetry can coexist with comfort and poor posture does not always equal pain.
Discover effective techniques to alleviate aches and pains by addressing habitual body tension and faulty and adaptive movement patterns.
Empower yourself to bring tangible relief to your clients.
