Hey there!

Our Pelvic Mechanics Workshop is coming to Brooklyn, NYC on June 6th, and this workshop is designed for birth professionals who want a deeper understanding of how movement, positioning, pelvic mechanics, and soft tissue tension can influence pregnancy, birth preparation, and labor itself.

​

​We also have workshops coming up in VA, NC, TX, and CA!​

Birth preparation is so much more than just telling someone to “do squats” or “sit on a birth ball.” In this workshop, we break down how the pelvis actually moves throughout labor, how different pelvic levels may require different movement strategies, and how we can use movement intentionally to support fetal positioning, pelvic mobility, pressure management, and pushing mechanics.

One of the things we love most about this workshop is bringing different professions together in the same room. A pelvic floor PT may approach birth prep differently than a doula. A labor nurse may cue movement differently than a fitness professional or chiropractor. But when we all have the same foundational understanding of pelvic mechanics and the birth process, we are able to better collaborate and better support our clients.

Throughout the workshop, we also discuss practical ways that each profession can better support their clients prenatally within their own scope of practice. This may include movement strategies, mobility work, pelvic floor considerations, positioning, strength training, comfort measures, pressure management, or ways to better educate clients about the birth process. While each profession brings a different lens to prenatal support, understanding pelvic mechanics allows us to more intentionally guide our clients throughout pregnancy and labor preparation.

The workshop is now approved for both 5.5 ICEA credits AND 5.5 nursing credits as well!

We’ll cover:

• Pelvic mechanics for pregnancy, labor, and pushing
• How the inlet, midpelvis, and outlet function differently
• Movement strategies for different phases of labor
• Pelvic floor considerations during birth prep and pushing
• Practical ways to immediately apply this information with clients and patients
• How different professions can collaborate together to better support birth outcomes and client experiences

If you’ve been wanting a more in-depth and practical understanding of birth mechanics, we would love to see you there!
