Low Pressure Fitness (LPF) Level 1, is a continuing education course presented by Low Pressure Fitness developer Dr. Rial. LPF is an exercise therapy method based on hypopressive, myofascial and neurodynamic concepts. During the Level 1 course, participants will learn the application specific exercise techniques to coordinate the diaphragm, pelvic floor, and deep abdominal wall with a special focus on ways of facilitating improved pelvic floor and pelvic organ health for women. Participants will also learn the neuroscience and biomechanical evidence supporting the use of LPF for pelvic floor, abdominal, and diaphragmatic activation as well as indications and precautions for application.

Upon finishing this course, you will be able to teach a Level 1 course and market yourself as a Level 1 instructor. Full certification requires the 3 course series to be completed. 

     

What people are saying: 

I found the course to be very valuable and felt comfortable immediately incorporating it with my pelvic floor clients.
The Low Pressure Fitness Level 1 online course was well organized and presented, despite not being an in person CE course. The visuals and demonstrations online were most helpful. Well worth the time and expense. Very applicable to my line of work.
Fantastic course material and labs. I was engaged the whole time. Although online, it honestly felt just as valuable as if in person. Really excited to implement LPF into my practice.

What will you learn?

  • Participants will be able to explain and educate patients/clients on pelvic floor anatomy including the physiology of the levator ani muscle group, the abdominal wall, and the diaphragm.
  • Participants will be able to explain the biomechanical principles of pelvic floor and diaphragmatic coordination.
  • Participants will be able to discuss and educate a client/patient on the breathing and postural principles to maximize pelvic floor function.
  • Participants will be able to list indications and precautions for use of hypopressives and Low Pressure Fitness with patients/clients.
  • Participants will be able to correctly demonstrate the pelvic floor and diaphragmatic exercise technique for Low Pressure Fitness Level 1.
  • Participants will be independent with use of correct coaching cues to facilitate clients/patients in correct postural alignment for pelvic floor and diaphragmatic engagement.
  • Participants will correctly demonstrate the progression, procedure and transitions of pelvic floor and diaphragmatic coordination with the hypopressive technique.
Be able to teach classes or work one-on-one!

     

More accolades: 

This course offered a thoughtful and thorough approach to Low Pressure Fitness and its relevance in pelvic health. The instructors made complex concepts digestible and immediately applicable.
Low pressure fitness is challenging! Going into the course I was not expecting to be sore! I learned so much about breathing mechanics and how it can apply to my patient population. I have already began using some of the techniques with them!
Great information! Love the amount of time spent on practicing in order to master LPF technique in my own body before teaching it to patients.
