The learning centre should be studied carefully to make sure you get the most from the next section

Topics Covered

- Pelvic Floor Anatomy

- Abdominal Muscles

- Diaphragm & Breathing

In the learning centre we explain the pelvic floor, abdominal muscles and the diaphragm. We also look at how these 3 come together in what we refer to as The Cylinder Of Control

Section 1 - Pelvic Floor Anatomy

       

    Topics Covered:

    Understand the anatomy of the pelvic floor:

    - Muscle action

    - Muscle function

    - Areas targeted in exercise

    		  
      Pelvic Anatomy

    Topics Covered:

    Understand the role played by abdominal muscles:

    - The importance of the abdominal muscles

Section 3 - Diaphragm

      1  

    Topics Covered:

    Understand the importance of correct breathing on the pelvic floor:

    - The relationship between the diaphragm & pelvic floor

    - Breathing into your pelvis V's breathing into your chest

    - Recognising tension in your breathing

    		  
      Diaphragm      

Section 4 - Cylinder Of Control

      1  

    Topics Covered:

    Understand the importance of the interaction of the three areas of the anatomy:

    - How optimal breathing leads to optimal pelvic floor function

    - How optimal abdominal control leads to optimal pelvic floor function

    - How this all comes together in The Cylinder Of Control
