"If you work with anyone who complains of hip impingement, hip popping, or pain, this course is ideal for you."
Angela Mosley, Personal Trainer
The World Needs More Pelvis Professionals
Research shows 69% of people have labral tears
Up to 84% of athletes had a labral tear
Odds are, many of the people you work with now already have a degenerative labral tear.
How do you know if you’re making it better or worse?
Solving hip and pelvis issues isn’t easy.
Too often, clients are given outdated, generic exercise routines that rarely create lasting results.
Persistent hip pain, recurring SI joint discomfort, weak or inhibited glutes, and deep buttock pain are signs that traditional approaches are missing the underlying problem.
Pelvis Pro was designed to change that. The course provides precise assessments and targeted exercise progressions to address these challenges with clarity and confidence.
Up to 54% of people were found with a cam lesion
Up to 67% of people were found with a pincer deformity
How should you optimize movement to prevent these deformities from becoming sources of pain? (Register et al., 2012; Heerey et al., 2019; Frank et. al., 2015)
What You’ll Learn in Pelvis Pro

How is the Pelvis Pro course different from the Pregnancy and Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist course?
Pelvis Pro and PCES are two separate courses with very little overlap. We've designed each to stand alone and deliver a unique depth of knowledge.
If you’ve taken PCES, you’ll find Pelvis Pro feels like a natural next step, diving deeper into pelvic biomechanics, but PCES is not a prerequisite. Both courses are designed to be approachable on their own.
Focus of each course:
-
PCES (Pregnancy & Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist):
Covers diastasis recti, pelvic floor dysfunction (leaking, prolapse), posture, breathing, and the unique needs of pregnant and postpartum clients. It’s broad in scope, giving providers a complete framework for helping women through these common challenges. -
Pelvis Pro:
Focuses on the bony biomechanics and injury side of the pelvis. You’ll explore issues like hip impingement, labral tears, hamstring and adductor strains, SI joint pain, piriformis and deep hip rotator tightness, IT band pain, and more. It includes full workout progressions for addressing hip and pelvis pain in a wide variety of clients.
The difference in depth:
-
PCES provides a comprehensive view across multiple interconnected areas.
-
Pelvis Pro takes you all the way in on the pelvis, so you finish with a complete, expert-level understanding.
Bottom line:
Both courses are rich with research, practical application, and exercises. If you enjoyed one, you’ll absolutely benefit from the other.
How many credit hours is the course?
25 hours of home study course material
How long will I have access to the course?
You’ll have lifetime, unlimited access to the course for the purposes of being able to go back and review. Personally, I hate paying a big price for a course and my access is limited to a few weeks. If you’re going to pay for a course, it should be yours to keep.
How do I gain my certificate and credit for this course?
Watch all of the lectures and pass the quiz at the end of each section with a 75% or better passing score and complete the course survey at the end.
Do I have to take the quiz by a certain date for CEU credit?
Most certifying organizations for personal training, pilates, state physical therapy, chiropractors, etc. have rules and deadlines for handing out CEU credit. It’s not our rules, but their guidelines that we must follow. You have one year from the purchase date to take all the quizzes and submit the course for CEU credit. If you finish after a year, we cannot guarantee that the course will still be covered by specific CEUs due to the nature of how renewals are done. You will not lose access to the Pelvis Pro course! But, if you want CEU credit, please finish it in a year.
Learning Outcomes (For CEU Approval)
1. Students will identify 5 research articles covering specific muscular anatomy and describe how specific postures and activities of daily life contribute to muscle tension.
(Example: Swayback posture increases psoas muscle tension due to its role in containing anterior translation of the femoral head. Students learn why this posture increases hip flexor tightness, anterior capsule strain, and back pain by reviewing the research together in the course.)
2. Students will describe why posterior diaphragm expansion is important for daily life and name two exercises to help improve diaphragm excursion.
3. Students will identify why finding distal and proximal hamstrings is important for pelvic stability and daily life, and suggest a troubleshooting exercise to help find proximal hamstrings and improve pelvic orientation.
4. Students will identify errors in common exercises like clams and hip hikes that lead to over-recruitment of anterior pelvic orientation musculature versus gluteal musculature. Students will identify how this carries over into life activities such as walking up stairs and contributes to specific issues like IT band syndrome.
5. Students will identify 5 appropriate assessments for the hips and pelvis and 5 of the best corrective exercises to optimize activities of daily living when dealing with specific hip and pelvic movement patterns that can contribute to specific issues.
6. Students will identify 3 corrective exercises to help prevent and improve SI joint pain, IT band syndrome, piriformis syndrome, deep gluteal syndrome, FAI, and hip impingement.
