Move Better. Protect Your Body.** Leaking during workouts? Feeling pressure or heaviness? Struggling with bracing, power, or control under load? The [pelvic floor](https://ateasephysio.ca/services/pelvic-health) plays a key role in lifting, running, jumping, and long-term performance—for all genders. This practical, movement-based workshop will show you how to train it efficiently, not aggressively. ## What We’ll Practice - Rib cage breathing and pelvic floor coordination - Relaxation strategies for over-tensioned athletes - Applying pelvic floor control to squats, deadlifts, and dynamic movements ## What This Is (and Isn’t) This is education and movement only—gym-appropriate and athlete-focused. There are no internal exams, and participation is opt-in at all times. You’ll leave with practical tools you can apply to your next training session. ## Led by Experienced Practitioners This workshop is presented by [Susannah Reid](https://ateasephysio.ca/team/susannah-reid), our Founder & Physiotherapist, and [Michaela Toffoli](https://ateasephysio.ca/team/michaela-toffoli), our Pelvic Health Practitioner.
