Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:

1. Identify how pelvic floor anatomy, biomechanics and pathophysiology relate to practical and scientific evidence for hypopressive training through LPF.
2. Describe the hypopressive concept, its postural foundations and the goals of LPF.
3. Describe how organ position relates to posture, breathing and pelvic floor function.
4. Assess the abdomen for visceral and soft tissue tension and implement the appropriate manual therapy techniques to resolve dysfunctions.
5. List the neurophysiologic benefits of abdominal massage and how that relates to pelvic floor muscle function.
6. Teach abdominal massage for self care, and make the appropriate adaptations based on the physical presentation and symptomology of the patient.
7. Demonstrate correct procedure, professional skills and technical implementation of LPF exercises, transitions and progressions.
8. Demonstrate and teach diaphragmatic and abdominal myofascial release exercises and techniques.
9. Demonstrate competency in performance and teaching of the level 1 LPF sequence to patients in a one-on-one setting.
10. Describe LPF exercise adaptations for diastasis recti and pelvic floor muscle dysfunction.
11. Learn the abdominal vacuum, abdominal tone and hyperpresure assessment scale.
