Live: Understanding Deep Core Muscles and Intrinsic Stability Workshop

Duration: 2 hours
Date: Saturday, 15 November 2025
Time: 09:00 - 11:00
Location: 74 Regent Road, Studio 206, Sea Point 

Is your hip pain a symptom of something deeper? Discover the hidden link between core stability and lasting relief.

This workshop dives beneath the surface to address the root causes of pain and dysfunction in the body's foundational layers. Learn how the deep core impacts your hips, pelvis, posture, and overall movement patterns—and gain the tools to release tension, restore function, and prevent future injuries.

Discover the power of your deep core and discover the secrets to true body balance, stability, and pain-free movement.

Benefits of the Deep Core Muscle Solution Workshop

• Address Root Causes: Learn how deep core dysfunction leads to pain, instability, and compensation patterns in the superficial muscles.
• Improve Stability and Balance: Restore dynamic equilibrium and enhance functional movement.
• Relieve Pain and Prevent Injuries: Identify and release myofascial blockages that contribute to chronic pain and injury.
• Boost Professional Skills: For movement therapists and bodyworkers, this workshop provides techniques to test for inhibition and overactivity, activate deep pathways, and release compensatory structures.
• Enhance Quality of Life: Regain strength, mobility, and freedom of movement.

Who Is This Workshop For?

• Movement therapists, Pilates instructors, and bodyworkers seeking advanced tools to enhance their practice.
• Fitness professionals aiming to deepen their understanding of core stability and injury prevention.
• Anyone experiencing hip pain, instability, or recurring injuries tied to compensation patterns.
• Those looking to improve posture, relieve tension, and rediscover balance and strength in everyday life.

What You'll Learn

1. The anatomy and function of the deep core as a stabilizing system.
2. How dysfunction in the deep core can lead to compensation patterns and chronic pain.
3. Practical techniques to test for inhibited or overactive muscles and release blockages.
4. Proven strategies to reactivate the deep core for improved function and movement.

Tired of recurring injuries? Learn how to stop treating the symptoms and fix the root cause of instability and pain.

Hip Pain Solution Workshop Content Overview

The hips and pelvis are deeply connected to the deep core, forming a crucial foundation for movement and stability. When deep core muscles are blocked or inhibited, the surrounding superficial muscles compensate, often leading to hip pain, joint degeneration, or chronic instability.

This workshop explores:

• The role of the deep core in hip function and posture.
• How to identify and release compensatory patterns that cause hip pain.
• Hands-on techniques to restore function, ease pain, and support healthy, balanced movement.

Join us at B3 Academy to transform your understanding of the body’s deep core and take the first step toward a stronger, healthier, and pain-free future.

Your deep core does more than you think—restore balance, stability, and freedom of movement at its foundation.

The deep core of the body can be seen as a three-dimensional web of fascia beneath all the superficial layers of myofascia. Beneath the muscles that move our bodies are many of the more obscure supporting and stabilising muscles of our anatomy.

Thomas Myers describes the deep core as having an intimate relationship with the hip and pelvis and therefore linking the wave of breathing and the rhythm of walking to each other. In the neck the deep core provides a counterbalancing lift to stabilize the superficial muscles the neck.

The main role and movement function of the deep core is to provide stability and balance to the core of the body while the more superficial muscles and fascia work to move the body. This provides the body with a dynamic equilibrium i.e., balance within movement. The myofascia of the deep core is made up of endurance muscles and tonic stabilising muscles that constantly adjust and contract to postural and positional changes in the body.

As B3 practitioners, our ultimate aim is to release myofascial blockages at the deepest level. Most people don't realize that their pain patterns are linked to a deeper level of blockage but rather blame their symptoms on a more immediate response of the superficial muscle system e.g., sleeping in a bad position or getting out of the car awkwardly. We can understand that if the deep muscles are blocked and have lost function and contractility, it is more likely for the superficial muscles to overload and cause injury and joint degeneration over time. Many injuries are caused by underlying blockages in the deep core and are often disguised as acute injuries at a superficial
level.

When a "centrally" located muscle (deep or core muscle) becomes inhibited, the body fires into overdrive. Compensation patterns can activate anterior/posterior, core/inferior, and core/superior.

The game plan in this workshop is to learn how to test for inhibition/overactivity and to release the overcompensated structures and activate the inhibited pathways.
