The course focuses on safe, effective, and clinically applicable techniques developed through extensive practice.
Participants will learn how to assess and treat functional restrictions affecting the uterus and bladder, with special attention to the dynamic changes that occur throughout pregnancy.

- Interaction between the bladder and uterus
- Physiological changes during the first, second, and third trimesters
- Treatment strategies tailored to each stage of pregnancy
- Vagal (parasympathetic) influence on abdominal viscera
- Phrenic nerve innervation of the diaphragm and its clinical relevance
- Manual therapy applications during:
– Structural stage

- Identify and use viscerosomatic and Chapman reflexes in clinical practice
- Integrate bladder treatment into a broader visceral and structural approach
Why This Course Matters

You will learn practical, hands-on techniques that directly impact the uterus and bladder, helping you deliver results your patients can feel—often immediately. These are skills you can confidently apply in your clinic right away, especially with a growing population of patients seeking support during pregnancy.
