Why This Course Matters
Every birth professional and movement specialist working with perinatal clients needs to understand how the pelvis moves, what affects its space, and when to use specific movements to optimize birth.
When we understand the mechanics of the pelvis, we can:
- Identify why a client experiences pain or restriction in pregnancy
- Offer movement strategies that create comfort and alignment before birth
- Address labor stalls with intention, instead of defaulting immediately to interventions
- Support postpartum healing through thoughtful, movement-based recovery
This is the missing link between movement and birth outcomes—and it’s time to bridge that gap.
What You'll Learn Inside:
Pelvic Mechanics Foundations
Understand how the pelvis opens and moves, which muscles release or strengthen to create space, and how rib cage and pelvic positioning influence pelvic floor tension. Learn the “why” behind movement so you can apply it to prenatal and birth support.
Prenatal Preparation
Learn how to combine mobility and strength to prepare each level of the pelvis for birth. Identify movement patterns linked to common prenatal discomforts and discover what to modify—and when to refer out to other providers.
Labor Support
Master strategies to create space in each pelvic level and resolve labor stalls. You’ll learn what information to gather, how to assess movement patterns, and when to advance care if movement isn’t enough.
Postpartum Recovery
Coming in January: Apply pelvic mechanics concepts to early postpartum healing to support relief from heaviness, constipation, and discomfort, helping clients reconnect to their bodies through gentle, targeted movement.
Bonus: Professional Mentorship Access
Get 2 months FREE in our mentorship group with Gina, Roxanne, and our pelvic floor PTs for continued support, live Q&As, and deeper professional discussions.
What Professionals Are Saying
Brooke, Birth Doula
“I attended MamasteFit’s Pelvic Mechanics Workshop and the wealth of knowledge was incredible! I couldn’t believe how fast the day flew by—or how fast my fingers were flying trying to take notes. Everything Gina had to say was full of wisdom and intelligence. I’m especially excited to have learned great exercises to help my clients prenatally with aches, pains, and labor prep. This course goes WAY beyond the typical inversion or side-lying release. If you want to understand how babies move through the pelvis and how to influence that movement—this course is for you.”
Lauren, Pelvic Health Professional
“Gina and Roxanne are a powerful duo and resource! I’ve followed their content for years, and to host them for two workshops at my clinic was incredible. I can also testify to the success of their postpartum return to fitness program and use their concepts with my own clients. Grateful for their work in the perinatal space and women’s health!”
