DOWNTRAINING ISN'T JUST BREATHING.

When Relaxation Gets Overlooked

We all know that “downtraining” is important – but we don’t even have a shared definition. Most clinicians can’t clearly distinguish between the three types of downtraining: pelvic floor‑direct, pelvic floor‑indirect, and central nervous system‑focused.
So “I’ve already done downtraining” can mean 50 different things – and patients get stuck.

 

Many times clinicians will say things like:

“What can I do beyond breathing?”

“Isn’t downtraining just getting the pelvic floor to relax?”

Without truly understanding downtraining we are limited in the options we have for our patients.  Patients often get stuck or plateau because we don’t have the right tools.

 FAQs

  • There are a lot of topics that are incredibly important to our specialty but that don't really warrant their own full course.  Instead of cramming them into another course, we wanted to make it more accessible for anyone who was struggling with that particular topic.

     

    The information is shorter, more digestable and focused and immediately affects your clinical practice.

  • We originally did the masterclass live for those who were able to be online and now the recording is available for everyone! You'll get access to the Q&A following the class as well to address all your questions.  You'll have lifetime access to the information in the Masterclass.​

  • You’ll learn a clear, 3‑path framework for downtraining – pelvic floor‑direct, pelvic floor‑indirect, and CNS‑focused – and how to decide where to start for a given patient.

    We’ll cover specific techniques in each category, how to prioritize and switch paths when progress stalls, and how to explain downtraining in plain language so patients buy in.

  • No! We've had students all the way up to those with decades of experience go through the class.  Some things may be review for those who have been in the field for a while, but hopefully you benefit from a new way of thinking about vagus nerve and if it even highlights one new technique to implement it will be worth it for your patients!

  • Yes, it's eligible for 1.5 contact hours!  You'll receive a Certificate of Completion with the contact hours and are welcome to list it or submit it for credit (depending on your state requirements). Of course, there is no obligation for you to submit it for CEUs if you choose not to.
