Earn ICEA and Nursing CEs at Our Upcoming Workshops

Published about 1 month ago • 3 min read

Hey there! We are just two weeks out from our Pelvic Mechanics Workshop in Concord, NC on March 7, and I am so excited to bring this training to the Charlotte area.

If you read our recent birth prep blog, we talked about creating space in the pelvis, understanding how different parts of the pelvis move, and why mobility and positioning matter long before labor even begins. Those same core concepts are exactly what we will be covering in depth during this workshop.

We will break down:

  • How the pelvis actually opens and which movements influence each pelvic level during pregnancy and birth
  • Why thoracic mobility impacts pelvic positioning
  • How pelvic floor tension and mobility patterns affect comfort and performance
  • Movement strategies that support space, balance, and function

This is not just theory. You will learn how to assess movement patterns, understand what may be supporting or limiting pelvic space, and apply specific exercises and position strategies immediately with your clients.

Whether you are a birth worker, physical therapist, fitness professional, or someone wanting a deeper understanding of biomechanics in pregnancy, this workshop is designed to give you practical, hands on tools.

You will earn 5.5 ICEA continuing education credits, with the option to earn nursing credits as well!

If you have been wanting to attend Pelvic Mechanics in person, Concord is coming up quickly.

The online course covers the same core biomechanics principles and gives you lifetime access to revisit and integrate the material into your practice.

I found MamasteFit during the later COVID days. I was happy to find a referral for an online work-out program tailored to the perinatal period. Mostly, my postpartum clients used it to help achieve their return to fitness goals without causing prolapse.

However, I later discovered and was most impressed by seeing the effects of the prenatal programs. I serve a very athletic population here in the mountains of Western NC. As a certified nurse-midwife, I was seeing that my clients' fitness often caused more challenges during their birth because of unbalanced strength, causing a lack of pelvic mobility.

I began to notice that clients who regularly participated in the MamasteFit prenatal training programs didn't have the typical days' long labors with malpositioned babies, hours of pushing, and damage to their pelvic floors that I found in other very fit clients.

Once I incorporated bodywork into my midwifery practice, I noticed that my release work generally holds so much longer in people who do practice the MamasteFit programs precisely because their strength is more balanced.

I appreciate MamasteFit's recognition of the need for balance between length, flexibility, and strength during the prenatal period as much as I appreciate their balance of rest, recovery, and gradual, intentional return to strength in the postpartum period.

Hey there! Last week on the MamasteFit Instagram, we shared a ton of tips on pushing from our experience as a doula and midwife team. There is so much nuance to pushing, and there is no one “right” way to approach it. Let’s break down some of the most common recommendations for pushing, and why they may or may not be the best approach for you or your clients. 1) Is KICO (Knees In, Ankles Out with Internal Rotation) the BEST pushing position? The best pushing position is the one you choose....

Hey there! If you’ve been working out consistently, doing your squats, deadlifts, and glute bridges… but still dealing with hip tightness, pelvic discomfort, or just feeling like your strength isn’t translating into real life, you’re not alone. And it’s probably not a strength issue. It’s a variety movement issue. Most workout programs focus heavily on hip extension in the sagittal plane with forward and backward movement pattern where you’re driving through your glutes. And while that is...
