Thanks Lynn!
I found this in a patient that I had previously treated for the common birth pattern but her pain did not fully resolve. By treating the sacral flexion pattern, her anal fissure pain significantly improved to where she reporting “pooping normally again” and she was able to sit for the first time in a year! Whoa!
Thanks for sharing this.

Thank you for offering this course free of charge. Your insights always seem to come at just the right time. This helped me understand the “open birthing pattern” much better.
Thank you for offering this course for free! You do a wonderful job of thoroughly explaining and demonstrating all techniques. I look forward to taking more of your courses as a new pelvic health OT.
Wow! Before I took this course, I had NO IDEA that these bones are designed move like this!! I am absolutely fascinated. I started this course with the intent to help my clients, but I can now see how birthing has caused myself many issues I wasn’t even aware of, and that I need this for me, haha! Thank you SO MUCH for offering this for free of charge! You were clear, direct, and to the point, in your teaching without cutting corners. So many free courses really just end up being advertising for paid programs with no real information given, but that is not true here. Another issue I have had with other courses is the length, as I often do not have a whole hour plus to sit down at once, but this was broken into perfectly bite sized length for consumption. You rock! Thank you again!!
Thanks Stephanie for your kind words. I’m just trying to get the word out about all these changes so people know there is an issue and help is available. I do have a directory of practitioners I’ve trained here: https://directory.instituteforbirthhealing.com/. Hopefully someone is near you. Thanks again for taking this course and helping to spread the word about it.
Thank you for a great short and so useful course! How do you approach a client with fibromyalgia so tender to touch that the amount of compression needed to take up the slack is painful in the soft tissues even if the bone would need the treatment?
Thank you so much for this course! How long do you look for these patterns postpartum? Could we potentially still be seeing these patterns in women who are 10+ years postpartum?
Even longer. I found them in my aunt whose son was 47 y/o. I”ve found them in 60-70 y/os. If they are stuck they never return on their own. Any person who has birthed a baby should be checked no matter their age or how long it’s been. Thanks for asking.
Thank you for adding this lesson into your course. I just had a chance to go through it and it makes so much sense as I was seeing this pattern quite frequently anyways but now I feel confident in explaining this to patients.
I took this entire course while I was on maternity leave (after 2 years) and the techniques I learned helped to become a more skilled practitioner going into my new role as a pelvic physio in the UK. Thanks to you I have become very busy as well!!
So glad to hear this! Thanks for sharing!! Keep up the great work! There is so much more to learn. Please check out the Treating the Postpartum Pelvis or the Holistic Treatment of the Postpartum Body courses! There are lots more patterns to learn. Thanks again!
Loved this course, it’s going to help a lot of my mama’s in PFPT, already applied it to one that had significant pain relief after first visit. I did have some follow up questions about which particular positions pt’s should avoid for their own strength training, and stretching programs until symptoms are further managed.
Glad you found it helpful. I’m not clear on your question. The only thing I could think about avoiding is any position with an anterior tilt which would encourage sacral flexion but as long as what they are doing is pain-free and they’ve got a good pelvic floor contraction working reflexively then any exercise should be ok. I hope that answers your question.
Thank you for offering this course! New to Pelvic Health (OT) I really appreciate how clearly organized you were in your teaching and materials. The HEP is something that can realistically be maintained! I am 1 year post-partum and now treating myself for some issues that have gone unresolved. THIS in-fact; has been my issue: stuck in flexion! I did the HEP and it’s a game changer! Thank you professionally and personally!
So great to hear Veronique! Sacral flexion is so very common and most practitioners don’t know how to look for it! So glad you took this course and it helped you.
Thank you for putting this together and offering it for free. The course is efficiently presented with diagrams that are simple to understand. The case study was an excellent way of putting the lesson together.
Awesome review for me!! thank you so much for your teaching method and knowledge!
Thankyou for offering this course . I loved it for its clarity , user friendly techniques for the clinician and the client.
Thank you for giving this course online.
It was clear and upto the mark.
Thanks for taking it!!

I’m so glad Karli! Thanks for taking the time to learn more about it.

I’m excited to begin assessing moms for this open pattern. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
One question: I’ve always thought of the sacrum as one, so when we are assessing each segment is it more the lateral ligaments that are hypomobile?

This is what I was missing in my assessments. I immediately saw improvements with clients reports of pain after releasing EAS. She was very happy!!!!!
So glad to hear this! Great job!!
That’s great to hear Leticia. I find the EAS is so important. Glad it helped.
Very interesting and clearly presented course. Many thanks.
