For years people have been focused on building core strength a stability; but they have been ignoring the most important part of the core - The Pelvic Floor. Your core is actually a four-sided canister whose function is to maintain your balance. This canister is created by the abdominal muscles on the front and sides, the deep spine muscles on the back, the pelvic floor on the bottom, and the pulmonary diaphragm (the muscle responsible for breathing) on the top.

Human beings have evolved as the only truly upright species; we have a unique and highly specialized pelvis that is unlike any other animal's. Unfortunately, since we spend much of our time seated, we tend to use our pelvic floor incorrectly; it does not have to make the base of the canister because our chairs do that job for us. The pelvic floor muscles become tense and stiff, or elongated and weak; consequently, low back, hip & knee pain, weakness & balance problems, impaired breathing, and continence problems soon follow.

If you suffer from these problems, or if you simply feel like you are not achieving your athletic potential, pelvic floor reeducation may be the key to quickly solving and alleviating your problems
