Pelvic Power Training
The Pelvic Floor and Diaphragm Movement
There are several functionally key aspects to pelvic embodiment that we focus on in the Train Your Seat Equestrian.
Allowing the bones of the pelvis, spine, and legs to move in relation to each other and avoid any locking. We also focus on allowing compression to travel into the pelvic floor and thus taking the weight slightly more forward as there is a tendency to have our weight on our heels and back part of the pelvis.
In coordinating a better pelvic floor movement and stability, we also focus on the movement of the diaphragm in conjunction with this muscle group to allow better breathing in the rider and better overall balance to allow rhythmic movement in the rider and thus with the horse's movement.
Pelvic Bone Movements
There are several functional key aspects to pelvic embodiment we focus on in the Franklin Method.
In allowing the bones of the pelvis, spine, and legs to move in relation to each other and avoid any locking or pinching. Allowing the bone rhythms to fully activate the fascial tensegrity aspect of the pelvis.
Also, a focus on allowing compression to travel into the pelvis, thus taking the weight slightly more forward as there is a tendency in most riders to have our weight on our heels, or worse, our toes.
In the Franklin Method we focus on the force absorption in the pelvis and legs. We use the term force absorption vs. shock absorption as force absorption requires movement between the bones to work.
Bone Rhythms
The way the bones naturally move 3-dimentionally inside your body to produce sage and efficient movement. Non-ideal posture and tension hampers or blocks these. The bone rhythms are driven by the ligaments and muscles, the shape of the bones and gravity.
Movement efficiency happens when you are expending minimal energy to create a maximal result.
Decreasing the force of impact always happens in combination with movement and stabilization.
