The training in Polyvagal Urogenital Manual Therapy (PVMTU) It consists of three structured and sequential modules, specifically designed for manual therapists specializing in urogenital and pelvic floor rehabilitation. This program offers a unique, practical, and advanced approach to treating both male and female patients, addressing the complex interrelationships between the body, mind, and autonomic nervous system.
Our primary goal is to integrate comprehensive and precise manual knowledge into urogenital practice, enabling therapists to balance the pelvic autonomic nervous system and its connection with the cranial nervous system. This balance not only regulates physical wellbeing but also positively impacts patients' mental and emotional health.
A Global and Comprehensive Approach
In our daily practice, we observe that physical and functional suffering is often deeply connected to emotional pain. Thanks to scientific research in neurology, we know this division is invalid: body and mind are intrinsically linked. For this reason, the PVMTU program addresses human beings holistically, with a specific and respectful focus on their physical, emotional, and spiritual integrity.
The three modules of this training provide practical and theoretical tools for therapists to:
- Identify areas of dysfunction in the body.
- Apply advanced manual techniques that restore balance and functionality.
- Understand and respect the mind-body connection to offer holistic treatment.
Re-balance and Re-empower
The core of this training is to help patients with urogenital issues regain a homeostatic physiological state, fostering their overall wellbeing. By rebalancing the pelvic autonomic nervous system and enhancing its connections with the cranial system, this therapy offers benefits beyond the physical, providing space for emotional and mental regulation.
Polyvagal Urogenital Manual Therapy not only alleviates symptoms but promotes a full and balanced life in all aspects of human experience. In this journey, therapists not only acquire technical skills but also develop a deeper understanding of the human body's capacity to heal, integrate, and live in harmony.
