About the event
Body-Mind Centering is a therapeutic approach to the body systems, developmental movement, sound, touch, imagery and the study of anatomy and physiology.
Striated muscles span the base of the pelvis in multiple directions to provide support for the organs of the lower torso. The pelvic floor is active in movement and respiration. As a critical diaphragm the pelvic floor is articulated in leg, pelvis and torso movement. The vital functions of childbirth and digestive elimination play a role in firm but malleable tone. The pelvis is a composite of six bones that present as a whole and yet can be facile via the pelvic floor in human movement. Embryologically, the pelvis and the leg are a single limb. Sensory pathways and movement in all the planes produce healthy structure and mobility in the pelvic floor.
