My addiction to learning started here. This was a life changing moment in my pelvic health career.

For years I’ve known there was more to the “core" than the Transverse abdominis (lower abs) contraction we have all been taught. I’ve read the research but I just couldn’t put it all together and make sense of it. Then came along Julie Wiebb’s Piston Science.

Finally it all made sense. I remember standing in my kitchen emptying the dishwasher watching the videos and having a genuine light bulb moment. My understanding of how the core and pelvic floor worked together was explained in a way I completely understood AND it was all evidence based! SCORE!!

But the awesomeness didn’t stop there. The biggest part of this was my realisation that everything, like everything comes down to breathing. All body functions need it, and as I write these blogs you will see it pops up everywhere. If you cant breathe well it affects everything (even pooping!) This course taught me how to take my pelvic rehab off the treatment table, and away from basic exercises (like leg lifts, bridges and clams etc) and into the gym using functional movements. Finally all my woman’s health training, musculoskeletal and sports physio learning to date blended together and made perfect sense.

What I took to practice?

This education gave me the “bean lift” analogy that I now use with all my patients and cue in my fitness classes – MamaFit, Pilates, Yoga and even Pole Fitness.

“Exhale and lift your beans” should be my catchphrase!

Julie’s courses bridged the massive gap between treatment and exercise. They gave me the theory and confidence to take treatment to the next level incorporating exercise and real life movements. I go back through this course regularly to refresh my skills and remember hidden gems of treatment.

You can check out Julie Wiebe’s information and courses on her website…definitely worth the read!
