Description
Unlock the ligament structure of the pelvic girdle to live pain free, and support your clients in doing the same!
Brian Dorfman, in his compassionate and straight to-the-point style, teaches us the importance of pelvic alignment for promoting healthy movement and pain relief between the upper and lower halves of the body.
Learn how to safely adapt standing forward bends to prevent hamstring origin injuries, and to support the recovery of existing injuries in the low back, sacroiliac joint and sciatic nerve.
For Yoga and other movement therapists, Brian identifies where to begin when working with a client in pain. He shares tools for determining what’s out of alignment, and ways to steer the individual towards structural wellbeing.
