The Pelvic Diaphragm

Treating Pain and Dysfunction From a Global Anatomical Perspective

About this book

Treat pain and discomfort in the pelvic diaphragm with the latest research.

The Pelvic Diaphragm: Treating Pain and Dysfunction From a Global Anatomical Perspective provides the latest research, fascial release techniques, self-release techniques, and movement practices to treat pain and discomfort in the pelvic diaphragm.

Practitioners will explore an interconnected anatomical perspective, learning how the pelvic diaphragm connects to the respiratory diaphragm, cervical fascia, jaw, and tongue. With over 200 color photos and illustrations, this book provides a comprehensive overview of up-to-date research translated for clinical application.

A fascia-based approach emphasizes fascial connections and continuity throughout the body, enabling therapists to use the body's natural tension to improve outcomes in pain management and functional restoration. Hands-on fascial release techniques are included, as well as body reading strategies and assessment methods to improve accuracy in treatment planning.

The book includes two chapters authored by experienced practitioners of manual therapy and Pilates. This gives readers the opportunity to see how concepts translate across clinical and movement settings.

With a wealth of information on treatment strategies, The Pelvic Diaphragm offers practitioners a broad understanding of an interconnected anatomical perspective and the ways it can be used to treat each client's unique situation. Pull back the curtain on the pelvic diaphragm and provide clients with appropriate, effective care.
