Price: $515 (Early Registrant Price $495)
Experience Level: Beginner
Contact Hours: 16




This continuing education course is a two-day beginner level seminar in which participants will learn low-tech, non-invasive techniques that draw from Yoga, Tai Chi, Qigong, Feldenkrias and conventional rehab therapies, to guide people (clients, patients, students) toward improved health and function.
The pelvic floor is comprised of muscles that are often elusive and seem beyond our conscious control. Yet, the perineum and the pelvic girdle are an integral driving force behind most human function. By bringing awareness, strength and suppleness to these muscles, people can address incontinence, alleviate or lessen pain (especially in the pelvis, hips, knees and back), breathe more efficiently, increase sexual fulfillment, assist childbirth and facilitate many functional activities like lifting heavy objects, rising from chairs and walking up stairs.
 
Audience:
This continuing education seminar is targeted to physical therapists, occupational therapists, physical therapist assistants, occupational therapist assistants, registered nurses, nurse midwives, and  other rehabilitation professionals. Content is not intended for use outside the scope of the learner's license or regulation. Physical therapy continuing education courses should not be taken by individuals who are not licensed or otherwise regulated, except, as they are involved in a specific plan of care.
 
Prerequisites:
None
 
What to Bring:
Participants should bring a yoga mat or towel, along with a piece of theraband, gait belt or yoga strap to use for one lab. Participants should wear loose, comfortable clothing that one would wear to a yoga class.
