Tom Myers – Balancing the Pelvis
Description of Balancing the Pelvis
Expand your grasp of the pelvis in all its complexity! Tom Myers presents his unique take on pelvic anatomy and SI joint dynamics, and takes us on a systematic tour of the 20 ‘myofascial units’ (muscles) surrounding the pelvis, demonstrating and explaining the anatomy, the approach, and Fascial Release techniques.
The 3-video series works progressively through the three ‘fans’ of muscle around the hip that interact to produce stability, posture & movement -or contribute to pain patterns in the pelvis, low back, and SI joint. Learn various treatment strategies for common positional problems of the pelvis as well as pre- and post-natal issues, explained with Tom’s characteristic humor and scope A full 6 hours of detailed instruction based on Tom’s 40-years’ experience with working all around the pelvis.
Balancing the Pelvis is the keystone of human architecture, transferring forces from the legs to spine and back again. This 3-video self-study program takes you through the hip abductors, deep lateral rotators, adductors, pelvic floor, and the deep hip flexors. Learn to accurately find and treat the problem-area ‘corners’ of the pelvic area – like the medial side of the hip joint – safely and with confidence.

Each technique is clearly explained and demonstrated, with variations included, for your easy application in whatever practice approach you take.
