Fascial Approaches: the Pelvis

The pelvis is the foundation of the body. It is subject to many shifts and changes over time (like the foundation of your house) which can have a profound effect on other body regions. Structurally, if the pelvic foundation becomes unreliable, stability is compromised in more than one area.

Symptoms arise as the fascia of the body (acting like guy wires of support) tries to compensate for this misalignment. Once this process of compensation starts happening, the muscles and fascia will try to ‘right the ship’ by tightening down and starting to put abnormal strains and stresses into the system.

Effectively treating these structures is essential for realigning and stabilizing a healthy body. I have yet to see a patient that does not require treatment to help realign the pelvis to a more neutral position. Once achieved, the body can ease its tension in other areas and start relieving symptoms. 

YOU WILL LEARN...

• to assess for pelvic imbalances
• to understand the relationship between muscle imbalances around the pelvis and their role in creating symptoms
• to develop a proper treatment plan to treat pelvic imbalances
• hands-on techniques to treat pelvic imbalances
• stretches to isolate specific muscles and their coinciding fascia
