1.4 OMP Forward Leaning Inversion | FLI


In this video our beautiful pregnant model demonstrates the forward leaning inversion | FLI.

Forward Leaning Inversion | FLI originated from Dr Carol Phillips of www.dynamicbodybalancing.com

FLI is a part of OMP's Pelvic Alignment Protocol to be used during pregnancy when the mother is able to feel the growing weight of her belly, and when needed during labor and birth. FLI's primary function is to untwist the utero-sacral ligament which acts like the rudder of a boat and allow for dynamic equilibrium within a mother's "hot-air balloon".

 
 


Please avoid any inversions if:

  • The pregnant mother is experiencing severe heartburn;

  • The pregnant mother has hypertension;

  • The pregnant mother has had a recent eye surgery;

  • The pregnant mother doesn't want to do these exercises.

  • Contraindications: Please follow the "no pain" rule where if she is experiencing any pain, please stop and consult with a health care professional or an alternative healthcare therapist.

  • If she has a pendulous belly or are expecting twins or more, using a rebozo/scarf or belly belt to support her belly can be helpful for her.  

  • Always start with 3-5 breaths and slowly work her way up to holding the positions for at least a total "accumulated down-time" of 1 minute to achieve a fascia release.
