Get clients pain free by treating postpartum pelvic patterns with confidence and clarity.

REGISTER NOW $297 $347

Pelvic health education every practitioner needs to know to
get faster, more consistent, pain-free results.

Most pelvic health education focuses on muscles and symptoms.
But after birth, the pelvic bones often don’t return to optimal position or
mobility – and no amount of strengthening can override that.

When the bones aren’t where they belong, the body compensates. Posture changes. Muscles hold. Pain persists. Progress stalls.

This course teaches you the pelvic mobilization techniques the body needs to move naturally again – so exercise and strengthening can work with the body.

Many pelvic health therapists are taught that addressing ilial anterior and posterior rotations and inflares and outflares “fixes” the pelvis.

But there is so much more!

In less than 3.5 hours, you’ll learn how to:

  • Assess and treat the pelvic bones first
  • Restore mobility and alignment so the body can self-organize
  • Resolve pelvic pain, back pain, and pelvic floor muscle dysfunction more quickly
  • Treat the most common postpartum pelvic patterns that prevent full recovery
  • Address the area of the pelvis that is most affected by birth

This course expands your understanding of postpartum pelvic mechanics and gives you the treatment techniques that go beyond traditional pelvic models – so you can get to the root of the problem.

Bring the pelvis, the foundation of postpartum pelvic health, to the front and center of your practice.

Get better results immediately with your
postpartum clients in just 3 hours

“This course has definitely changed my entire treatment approach
of the pelvis, even after being a PT for 20 years.
I have already seen immediate changes in my patients’
pelvic floor and with their pain postpartum.”
Veronica J., Physical Therapist

What Students Are Saying

“Since taking this course, a patient with sciatica had almost full resolution after treating her common postpartum pelvic pattern. One patient who had perineal pain in sitting (16 weeks post op pelvic reconstruction) that was resolving slowly with other treatment, had full resolution after correcting the common postpartum pattern and sacral flexion pattern. This is great stuff!”
Katie H., Physical Therapist

“Lynn’s Treating the Postpartum Pelvis is a must for anyone working with postpartum clients. I am a physical therapist and I do a lot of manual therapy – these techniques connected a lot of the dots that I see in my patients and gave me a clear and practical protocol to use. I know I will be able to implement them immediately and start getting quicker results with my patients.”
Brenda G., Physical Therapist

“This course was amazing. All practical information that I can immediately apply from a clinical standpoint. I have been working in pelvic health for several years, and this is one of the most actionable courses I have ever taken. Thank you!”
Sarah S., Occupational Therapist

“Today I used these (techniques) on a client. When she left she said ‘I feel like the work you did on my hips today is work I have needed my whole life.’ I thank you for these online courses, amazing work is being done!”
Rachael W., Massage Therapist

DIRECTION OF MOTIONForce is directed straight up toward the ceiling
ASSESSMENTTo see how the sacrum moves in the SIJ. Right side sacral base is higher and usually restricted in mobility in common birth pattern
TREATMENTLoad the restricted side to end range and hold, also encourage a downward motion toward the feet if that side sacral base was higher. This is Part 1 of 2 parts to correct the sacrum from birth pattern.

Special Notes: Important to correct the sheering part of the sacrum to reduce low back pain. See Part 2.

Meet Your Instructor – Lynn Schulte, PT

Lynn has been a Pelvic Health Physical Therapist for over 30 years and is the founder and principal instructor at the Institute for Birth Healing. She has been helping moms heal from all types of issues women experience during pregnancy and postpartum and is now teaching courses to other practitioners to share her expertise in what works.

After helping thousands of clients, she discovered something all her postpartum clients had in common — the “Open Birthing Pattern.” The Open Birthing Pattern results from the pelvic bones and muscles not returning to normal positioning and mobility after birth, creating pain and dysfunction. After learning this pattern, Lynn discovered many more and has been teaching these ever since.

Her courses focus on a holistic approach that addresses the client as a whole. She includes hands-on assessment and treatment techniques in her courses as well as an approach that gets to the root of pain and discomfort to restore function, enable smoother births and facilitate faster and more easeful postpartum recoveries.

We asked our students what they wanted to share about this course,
and here’s what they told us . . .

“I really liked going through each pattern, signs of that pattern, and how to treat it. I’ve taken the postpartum and pregnant body courses, but there is so much material in those that I found I sometimes got a little bit lost and didn’t know where to start. The postpartum patterns class was super helpful for me to solidify the knowledge of those patterns and how to treat. I’m much more confident now in using this material as well as the material from the postpartum course!” – Natalie G., Occupational Therapist

“This course changed how I treat all of my patients! Assessing the pelvis with this approach has helped me obtain faster results and assess the body more efficiently.” – Andrea Z., Physical Therapist

“The course was excellent: What Lynn presented was a new perspective on treating the female body in postpartum, with a look at the birthing position and how this can affect the entire osseous framework, impacting the soft tissues. I’m very satisfied and already putting my new knowledge into practice.” –Valeria M., Physical Therapist

“After completing this course, I finally feel like I know how to assess and treat the pelvic bones in my postpartum clients. When I need a refresher, the information will be available to review as needed. I highly recommend the course!” – Kate H., Physical Therapist

“As a new pelvic health occupational therapist, I found this course to be so accessible without being overwhelming or intimidating. During most online courses, I feel I get “lost in the sauce” , but Lynn’s assessment and treatment techniques were crystal clear, with just the right amount of intuitive listening mixed in. I highly recommend Treating the Postpartum Pelvis, especially to newer practitioners who value a holistic approach!” – Lexy M., Occupational Therapist
