In functional movement the pelvic floor does not operate in isolation. This course delves into the sophisticated myofascial continuity between the hip and the pelvic basin, focusing on a critical anatomical landmark: the Arcus Tendineus Levator Ani (ATLA).
The ATLA, a specialized thickening of the obturator fascia, serves as the vital bridge connecting the Obturator Internus to the Levator Ani. By mastering “Spiraling” hip mechanics, practitioners can leverage the ATLA to transmit force from the lower limb into the pelvic floor, effectively “waking up” the deep core through functional tension.
