The Female Pelvis:: Anatomy and Exercises Book

A pioneer in movement education, the author has already produced two books: Anatomy of Movement and Anatomy of Movement Exercises. This newest book is a most useful combination of functional anatomy and self-care guidance. It begins with functional pelvic anatomy emphasizing the pelvic floor and other muscles and ligaments, organs and their supportive structures, and finally the muscles bordering the perineum. Over 250 illustrations convey functional relationships and the impact of birthing on all pelvic structures. The body awareness exercises of the final chapters are designed to bring sensitivity to individual pelvic structures. These are followed by a series of exercises for increasing flexibility and strength. The Female Pelvis is extremely useful for practitioners who work with women (or who are women), offering practical self-care solutions for the phases of a woman's life, concentrating on pregnancy and reaching into menopause.Read More
