Both Karine and Quelen have dedicated their careers to the study and practice of pelvic health. Karine, a graduate of the University of Ottawa, has been actively helping clients with pelvic health since 2014, while Quelen, who earned her degree from Lisbon School of Health Technology in Portugal, has a broad background in pelvic rehabilitation, particularly in bladder, bowel, and perinatal health. Their combined expertise promises a comprehensive and educational experience for attendees.
The pelvic floor muscles are responsible for a range of important functions, from bladder control to supporting the spine. Many women experience weakness or dysfunction in these muscles, whether due to childbirth, surgery, or simply aging. Left unchecked, this can lead to discomfort, incontinence, or pain. Strengthening the pelvic floor isn't just about addressing existing issues; it’s about building resilience and improving quality of life.
In this workshop, participants will learn about the anatomy and significance of the pelvic floor. With Karine and Quelen at the helm, the session promises to break down these often complex topics into relatable and easily digestible information.
Learning doesn’t stop at theory. The second half of the workshop is dedicated to practical exercises that attendees can take home. These exercises are suitable for all levels, so whether someone is a complete beginner or already familiar with pelvic floor work, there’s something for everyone. From the basics of engaging the right muscles to more advanced techniques, Karine and Quelen will guide participants step by step.
Additionally, the workshop is bilingual, making it accessible for both French and English speakers. This community-centered event is a fantastic way to get introduced to pelvic health in a supportive and approachable environment.
Pelvic floor health is an important aspect of women’s wellness, and having local experts like Karine and Quelen available in Chelsea is invaluable. This workshop is not just about exercises; it's about fostering awareness, promoting preventative care, and empowering women to take control of their health.
The best part? It’s completely free to attend! Whether it’s a curiosity about the topic or a desire to actively work on core and pelvic floor strength, this is an opportunity not to be missed.
