Learn Ortho-Bionomy®
with Melissa Malm and Jim Berns
In Depth Releases for the Pelvis & Low Back (Phase 4)
Oct 10-11
Olympia, WA
9am-6pm
Class Description
This class takes the principles of Ortho-Bionomy and applies them to the pelvis & low back regions, going beyond the standard moves taught in the Spine & Pelvis (Phase 4) class. When properly applied these releases can affect the bony structure and musculature of the entire pelvis & low back regions. Class techniques will include working with the pelvic floor, ischium attachments, pubic symphysis, pubic ramus attachments, coccyx, and piriformis. The gentleness and ease of using these techniques will amaze you and your clients.
