In this module you will gain a depth of understanding about pelvic torsion you’ve never had before. Why is that important? Because clearly understanding this problem is crucial for the exercises to have their greatest impact. When my clients have a clear understanding of this problem, they don’t perform the exercises mechanically but rather with better body awareness and a clearer sense of how each exercise contributes to resolving the problem long-term.

Somatic Movement lays the foundation for lasting change in correcting pelvic torsion. 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 movement and exercise. In this module we will learn exercises that take the pelvis through four distinct planes of movement. This frees up the deepest adapted patterning paving the way for all the other corrective exercises.

The Pelvic Counter Rotation exercise is analogous to having the pelvis manually coaxed back into proper alignment by a health practitioner. Performed in isolation, this maneuver rarely has a lasting effective. But when done in combination with the right kind of stretching and strengthening, such as is taught in this course, the pelvic counter rotation speeds up the progress of correcting pelvic torsion and bringing relief.

Here we use the powerful stretching method, Active Isolated Stretching, to target key muscle groups responsible for perpetuating pelvic torsion. By lengthening key locked short muscles without causing strain we're able to release the anchors that fix pelvic torsion in place and restore pelvic balance.

The absence of regular squatting in the industrialized world (such as is done in the non-industrialized world on a daily basis to go to the bathroom) contributes to the widespread hip flexor dysfunction that leads to pelvic torsion. In this module we address this problem using several simple but extremely effective exercises to improve squatting competence.

Lack of strength in the deep core muscles, especially the transversus abdominis, is another root cause of hip flexor overuse and the perpetuation of pelvic torsion. In this module we focus on several simple but highly effective exercises for toning and strengthening the deep core muscles.

Often lost in the shuffle of strengthening exercises are the exercises for improving the tone and strength of the back line of the body. This includes the back muscles and the gluteus maximus. The exercises in this module activate and strengthen these muscles simply and directly.

One of the keys to correcting pelvic torsion in a lasting way is knowing how to apply these exercises. That means following the most beneficial sequence to maximize effectiveness and minimize strain, and also doing the exercises in the right frequency. Here the exercises are assembled into streamlined routines for the greatest efficiency possible.
