Finding Your True Pelvis
Tom Myers
We want a pelvis that is both ’neutral’ to our legs and spine, but free for our movement. Too often they contradict – if I’m neutral it’s not free; if I’m free, it’s not neutral. In this workshop, we go through the full spectrum of 20+ muscles that surround the hips:
- Learn to visually ‘read’ what is going on in our clients’ joints, and adjust accordingly.
- Learn a functional, testable definition of pelvic neutral that recognizes individual variability
- Learn how knees and feet contribute to low-back stability above your ’neutral’
Starting with the abductor ‘deltoid of the hip’, we will tour around each muscle, including the deep lateral rotators, adductors, and hip flexors / psoas group – palpating, showing visual and functional assessments, strengthening and stretching approaches.
Know your own pelvis better, and have more confidence working with others.
