Advanced Prenatal Concepts Using Balls, Bands + Rollers
with Deb Goodman, MSPT (now virtual!)
Sun, July 26: 10am-4pm // $225 // 6 KS + PMA CECs
In this one day workshop, we will review the goals for designing a mat program for the prenatal client and then apply those concepts to exercises using the stability ball, the foam roller and therabands. We will practice the palpation technique for checking the diastasis recti and go over precautions for this population. We will also review the causes of pelvic pain during pregnancy and discuss techniques to help pregnant women manage pain using exercise strategies. Students will then integrate the concepts and create a mat class using all available knowledge. The class will end with a master class taught by Deb to experience a prenatal program using the stability tools. Students will come away with an expanded mat repertoire utilizing the props and a deeper understanding of how to design a workout for the prenatal client.
Props needed:
– Physioball (65 inch ideal)
– Band mod tension
– Long foam roller
– Set of weights about 5 lbs
