Improve your overall pelvic floor function and health with our live, online Pilates pelvic health course.
We’ve partnered with Intermountain Healthcare pelvic floor physical therapists to create this four-week course that will teach you proper breathing techniques and exercises designed to increase your pelvic floor muscle efficiency and help you gain greater awareness of your body and its functions related to the pelvic floor.
This course begins at the start of every month and builds upon the lessons you’re taught in each class. All classes are led by an Intermountain Healthcare certified Pilates instructor who will give you individual feedback during the online classes.
Many class times are available each week, and recordings will be made available for missed classes.
Understanding pelvic floor dysfunction
The pelvic floor is a set of muscles that stabilize posture during activity, support bladder and bowel function, and play an essential role in sexual activity. The pelvic floor muscles sit at the bottom of the pelvis and interact with your diaphragm, hips, lower back, and abdominal muscles.
Common conditions related to pelvic floor dysfunction include:
- Pelvic pain, pelvic prolapse, or post-surgical pelvic pain
- Abdominal, hip, or groin pain
- Pregnancy and post-natal
- Pain during sexual intercourse
- Lower back pain
- Endometriosis pain
- Cancer-related dysfunction
- Pubic pain
- Bowel and bladder complications like urinary incontinence, constipation, or fecal incontinence
- Adhesions or scar tissue
- Diastasis recti
- Sciatica and sacroiliac joint (SIJ) dysfunction
