This
article is analyzing the contemporary views of bio mechanical Scientist Katy
Bowman and women’s health educator Christine Kent regarding the importance of correct
pelvic alignment. Their ground breaking
work is a boon for Pelvic Floor StrengthPelvic Floor Strength in all people because a misaligned
pelvis can actually become aligned and well through movement education appropriate
to individual structural states.
Using their
valid ideas as our central reference point to this article we come to the
intelligent conclusion that Dis Ease in the structure of the pelvic floor
originates from unhealthy and unconscious habitual movement patterns and
postures that destabilize the pelvic floor and skeleton over time. This self generated structural misalignment
or de-stabilization on a continual basis is a major contributing factor in uterine,
bladder and bowel prolapse issues within the human as well as sexual dysfunction. Prolapse in this instance means that the
organs of generation and defecation fall and drop down the vaginal or rectal chambers
and in extreme cases even exit the body.
The
importance of understanding and holding a neutral spine is of significant for
exceptional pelvic floor strength but it is disappointing when such eminent
teachers demote the great healing work done by their predecessors. Dr Arnold Kegel (famed for teaching pelvic
floor exercises for postpartum recovery and sexual fitness) and disregard the
ancient eastern teachings that use the pelvic floor as a pumping station to
pump metaphysical and electrical healing currents around the body.
Structural
alignment is important to pelvic floor strength but to discount the amazing
capabilities of the independent muscles of the pelvic floor seems foolhardy and
dangerous. If the muscles of the pelvic
floor are insignificant in their capabilities then how is it so that there are
courtesans who can lift over 20 kilos with a weighted sandbag attached to a
dragon pearl Dragon Pearlswithin their vaginal chamber?
Unifying
our and combining both concepts that
presently abandon each other in opposition in our efforts to encourage pelvic
floor exercises (moving all quadrants independently whilst standing still and
whilst dancing) in conjunction with correct postural alignment (neutral spine)
is the most advanced way forward. These
two concepts working in concert with each other become a much more powerful
team fighting the battle towards formidable pelvic floor strength and sexual
fitness in humans.
