SOLHEIM's course is both online AND practically oriented when we meet LIVE! 
The course takes place online over 11 hours and live 1.5 days (10 hours).

  • Follow the theoretical teaching online, here on the platform, which continuously also includes practical teasers that summarize what you have learned so far. 
  • You  can watch the online teaching 100% at your own pace with your own login, and you get access immediately. Just make sure you finish the online teaching before the live teaching.
  • Choose the date and place for live practical teaching when signing up. 



This is one of SOLHEIM's most popular courses for professionals, and has been taught in Denmark, Norway and Iceland since 2016.

There is a high level of academic evidence, good clinical reasoning, it is possible to return to previous modules and I think that it "settles" even more when there is time to immerse yourself in the theoretical part online. I am looking forward to the practical day.

I think that the structure of the course has taken me well by the hand to understand the complexity of topics that comprise the core. Nice with practical videos after theory, so you can try it out a little at home before the practical day. It's hard to answer what could be done better, as I think the content itself is really good!

I enjoyed your course SO much, both online and practically. I think it's great that I can go back and go over the material again. It's an easy and manageable setup, with simple access, and I often use it in my daily life and when I have free moments to look through elements again. So THANK YOU for your great work, and your way of translating sometimes heavy evidence, into fun and exciting lectures, which is easy to transfer into everyday life. I will definitely be taking more courses with you in the future!

WHY SHOULD YOU TAKE THE COURSE AS A combination OF ONLINE THEORETICAL TEACHING & LIVE PRACTICAL TEACHING?
Empty space, drag to resize

Because learning is an investment that takes time

  • Time to take classes at your own pace
  • Time to watch classes again, because no one gets EVERYTHING the first time.
  • Time when there is energy to see, listen and learn.
  • Time off work to follow a course.
  • Time to gradually integrate the new knowledge into one's teaching or work, along the way while learning.
  • Time to get ready to learn more. 
  • Time to watch the teaching again, maybe after years when it has landed in practice.

The course is based on the latest research and knowledge in the field, the book KVINDE BEVÆG DIG STÆRK – slut med junktræning by Elin Solheim, which was published by Muusmann Forlag in October 2017, as well as clinical experience and gathered information from the thousands of women who have worked with the danish online training program at www.elinsolheim.dk

Topics that we cover

  • Introduction: Move To Be Strong
  • The core and the fascial system
  • The pelvic floor
  • The pelvic floor and synergetic musclework
  • Diastasis Recti Abdominis (DRA)
  • DRA & training: Aspects that we can influence
  • DRA and surgery
  • DRA: examination & exercise

This is what you will be taught online:

Module 1: Introduction to movement & load, background & scope, functional training, stability & movement quality.

Module  2: Anatomy & function of the core, the fascia system as part of the core, and interoception.

Module 3: The pelvic floor as a structure, its work and task, more about the fascial connections of the pelvic floor, bodystories and positioning.

Module 4: Pelvic floor partners in breathing, deep transverse abdominal muscles and the glutes, and summary of the pelvic floor related to running and jumping.

Module 5: What is DRA & the occurrence, what do we know about testing/examination, what does the evidence say, what do we do in practice, and what DRA look like.

Module 6: DRA and training, what we aim to influence with training, capacity & progression, training phases, other factors that come into play.

Module 7: DRA & surgery/rectusplasty and when surgery should be considered.

Module 8: DRA examination and training in practice, including diagnosis, cues for training, functional integration in training & everyday life, completion and summary.

You will need:

A device where you can log in and see your teaching + internet connection.

This is what we will work on when we meet for the 1,5 day live teaching

Exercises, positioning and movements, clinical examination and tests  - everything you need to transfer theory to practice, and come home with new, practical tools when examining and training women, and often also men.

Diastasis Recti Abdominis (DRA)
1. What is split abdominal muscles (DRA), is it natural or a problem?
2. When do you have DRA? Symptoms and important aspects for diagnosing this condition.
3. Is it always a problem? Important nuances in dealing with the condition, as well as when the problem is functional, and not so tissue-specific.
4. How do we supervise: Perspectives on the questions we get and the answers we can give, and can we give answers at all?
5. Go-to exercises for different degrees of DRA, and is it even relevant to distinguish between light and significant degrees of conditions in relation to the choice of exercises?
6. What is the importance of movement quality, grading of load and time?
7. How can the structure and plasticity of the fascial system be affected and provide increased stability in DRA, and how can we functionally target this?

Pelvic Floor (PF):
1. How can the PF be trained more functionally when connectivity of the Fascial System, long myofascial chains and functional movement is taken into account?
2. How do we work with on the PF and the core without getting lost in local structures? How do we maintain focused on the interaction of the core with the rest of the body?
3. What does it look like in practice when breathing is integrated in PF training, and the core is trained as a pressure-tolerant container, and not as isolated muscle training?
4. How do kegels fit into something more functional?
5. How do we build the bridge to running and jumping?
