Course Description:
Balancing the Diaphragms was brought together by Julie Hammond and Fiona Palmer who both have a passion in Women's Health and collaboration between health professionals as well as treating Women's Health problems through a global lens. They both have over twenty years of clinical practice experience and combined their thoughts to develop Balancing the Diaphragms.
This two-day workshop will introduce you to the concept of the five diaphragms and you will gain an understanding of how all these areas are linked. We will dive into the anatomy of each of the diaphragms.
Focusing on the relationships between the diaphragms and how we cannot treat one area without thinking about these relationships. a pelvic floor problem is never just a pelvic floor problem, and we look at how other factors need to be looked at when working with pelvic floor pain and dysfunction.
Within this workshop, we will look at the importance of collaboration between health professionals for client-centered therapy and the need for integrated multimodal treatment protocols.
This workshop is recommended for health professionals who want to know more about global strategies and understand the connection between these important areas. It is suitable for Manual and Movement Therapists, looking at the latest research and relevant anatomy, how to translate this research into clinical practice through movement, self-release and manual therapy.

- An understanding of communication between the diaphragms
- An experiential sense of the structures
- Movement education for your client's self-care
- Posture analysis on how these diaphragms support each other
- The importance of starting positions for client treatment and homework
