Making Friends with Your Pelvic Floor

and Surrounding Support Musculature

Laurie 4-24-2021

Male and female incontinence, pain with intercourse, prolapse, and pelvic/abdominal/low back pain are all common issues for our clients and can also be helped! To be able to help our clients, though, we must first become friendly with our own pelvic floor and its support system. This session will use pandiculation and other skills to identify and enliven the specific deep support musculature of the pelvic floor. We’ll incorporate information and movement tools from the PT pelvic floor specialists I’ve worked with, as well as GYROTONIC® and Pilates techniques. 

Lori Seymour, CHSE. After being told to stop dancing by several doctors at the ripe old age of 16, Lori came to Pilates as a young dancer in 1986 to rehabilitate a chronic hip injury.  She used Pilates and then GYROTONIC® to rehabilitate myriads of dance injuries throughout a 29-year dance career. Her movement teaching experience includes swimming, ballet, modern dance technique, dance Improvisation, contact improv, and company class. She has been certified in Pilates since 1998, certified in GYROTONIC® since 1999, attended teacher trainings in both systems, and has been certified in Hanna Somatic Education since 2017. Lori has been working for 10 years in a physical therapy clinic that specializes in the treatment of women's health, along with pelvic floor issues for both men and women. Lori has continued her education in the areas of postural alignment, scoliosis, osteoporosis, gait, vestibular health, healing methodology, pelvic issues, disk herniation, feet and multiple joint conditions, and athletic and dance training.
