Pelvic PT Rising

The Three Types of Downtraining (And Why They Matter)


Listen Later

🚨 Are you using all three types of downtraining in your practice? 🚨

We often talk about "downtraining" without fully defining what it is—or recognizing that there are actually three distinct types. If you’re not considering all three, you’re missing key ways to help your patients.

We’re bringing back one of our most popular episodes! While I’m out on maternity leave, we’re replaying some of the most impactful conversations we’ve had on the podcast over the years.

In this episode, we break down:
✅ Pelvic Floor – Direct – Hands-on techniques, biofeedback, and other direct interventions.
✅ Pelvic Floor – Indirect – Treating surrounding structures like the hips, glutes, and breath mechanics.
✅ Central Nervous System – Addressing the brain-body connection, pain science, and autonomic regulation.

Each type of downtraining requires different techniques—and knowing which one to prioritize can get your patients better, faster.

If you’ve ever felt like “downtraining” is a vague, overused term, this episode will give you clear, actionable strategies to make it more effective for your patients!
