Postural Blueprint For Correcting Pelvic Torsion

The Complete Guide to Restoring Pelvic Balance

Relieve the pain and symptom of pelvic torsion with this step-by-step, self-paced course. This course draws from six distinct exercise groups, each of which plays a crucial role in resolving this problem long-term. This is the only course of its kind available anywhere for addressing this pervasive but not well-understood issue.

Somatic Movement

Relieving back pain and correcting pelvic torsion with Somatic Movement.

The power of Somatic Movement lies in its ability to “wake up” the nervous system and mobilize the deep, intrinsic muscles so often bypassed by other types of exercise.

Here we will learn exercises that take the pelvis through four distinct planes of movement.

Pelvic Counter Rotation

Using the seated Pelvic Counter Rotation to resolve pelvic torsion.

This exercise is analogous to having the pelvis coaxed back into proper alignment by a health practitioner.

Performed in combination with stretching and strengthening, this exercise speeds up the progress of correcting pelvic torsion.

Squatting Competence

Full squatting position.

Improving squatting competence is essential to the resolving the hip flexor dysfunction that leads to pelvic torsion.

Here we address this problem using several simple but extremely effective exercises.

Deep Core Strength

Alternating single leg extensions.

Strength in the deep core muscles, especially the transversus abdominis, is essential for resolving pelvic torsion.

Here we focus on several simple but highly effective exercises for strengthening the deep core.
