DESCRIPTION

Balancing the Diaphragms was cofounded by Julie Hammond and Fiona Palmer to look at the fascial and functional connections between the diaphragms of the body. How they interact and communicate with each other, and how restriction in one can affect another. The aim was to bring health professionals together from different modalities to collaborate and share information. Understanding how we all fit into the picture.

This 3 day workshop looks at pelvic dysfunction from a global lens and gives you a different way to view and treat pelvic dysfunction. However, it looks at much more than pelvic dysfunction. The workshop encompasses all the diaphragms and looks at breathing dysfunction, voice and throat restrictions and TMJ dysfunction.

Can your voice facilitate pelvic diaphragm contraction or assist in down training? Alternatively, easing hypertonicity in the pelvic diaphragm can assist with voice restrictions and breath.

This workshop breaks up complex anatomy into understandable information and current research and then relates it to clinical practice. The workshop is packed with information and includes anatomy, experiential, manual and movement applications for the diaphragms.

Over three days we will explore the complex fascial anatomy of these diaphragms, how they relate to clinical practice in a fun and interactive way. We guarantee you will leave this workshop with a newfound passion for this anatomy and tools to use immediately in practice.

The workshop cost includes

• 2 x Fascial release balls
• 1x Coregeous ball
