Female Pelvic Floor Restoration for Powerlifting
Saturday June 22: 1:00-5:00 p.m.
Led by Dan Houglum, MSPT & PRI Faculty
Description: Physical Therapist Dan Houglum is certified through the Postural Restoration Institute, and will be speaking on the dysfunction of the pelvic floor musculature prevalent in many female strength athletes. The clinic will include:
- A short lecture on the philosophy of a holistic approach to restoring proper position and function of the pelvis, hips, core and even rib cage, as led by PRI principals
- Explanation on how restoring proper functioning of the bigger surrounding muscles and joints will allow the pelvic floor to be in an optimal position to be properly strengthened
- Demonstration of self-evaluation tools, and suggested exercises to return the body to a more neutral position
- Lab time for participants to practice the exercises with corrections/suggestions on best performance
- Suggestions on how to include/program exercises into overall training program and everyday life
Through the assessment from the clinic, specific exercises will be perscribed to help put the entire body back into a more neutral position. Participants will have a chance to perform these exercises under Houglum’s watch eye so that they can continue the exercises after the clinic.
