I love the comparison of fascia to noodles!

⭐️Outer Hip Pain⭐️

In today's myofascial class, we are focusing on the outer hips and back of the leg (hamstrings, calves and feet). When the fascia in this area gets "stuck" it can create pain and referral patterns that run all the way down the leg and into the pelvic floor and low back.

We want our fascia to GLIDE. Think of a thai noodle dish for a moment. You know when there's plenty of sauce and the noodles can be moved around your plate no problem? OR you have insufficient sauce and the noodles get stuck together. They can move, as one big jumped blob of noodles, but not individually. That's sort of like our fascia!!

We can PUMP fluid back into those tissues and encourage better circulation and mobility by doing the type of class that is landing today in our membership. So keep on the look out!

Why should you care if your noodles, I mean fascia, are gliding??

Issues associated with restricted outer hip fascia:

- Knee pain (knees that cave in)
- Weak and falling arches of the feet
- Hip Pain
- Hypertonic pelvic floor (these muscles compensate)
- Unstable pelvis
- Low back pain

The primary muscles in this area are the glute medius and TFL. The secondary assistors are the glute minimus, adductor longus, a little bit of glute max and the gracilis. If the fascia is stuck, sometimes when you go to activate through these areas, it can also create pain.

PS- our 7 day trial is back! Emoji me for more info ⬇🫶⬇

I regularly remind my students that consistency is the key to success when it comes to pelvic health… Well, I mean really anything in life! I recommend that you choose a few postures that resonate with you and help you address the issues that you are specifically working on. These happen to be mine and they happen to be amazing at down regulating the nervous system and creating more calm in the body. When we open up the front body, it really does help us have a deeper breath, and your breath is highly connected to your nervous system, as well as your pelvic floor. Because we sit in a flexed position most of the day, it's very helpful to include poses that offer extension to help balance out the musculature involved. 🩷❤️🧡💛🩶 #pelvicfloordysfunction #pelvicpain #pelvichealth #pelvicfloorexercises #pelvicfloor #yogabenefits #yogaforbeginners #tightpelvicfloor #hypertonicpelvicfloor #fyp #foryou #hippain #hipmobility #yogaathome #yogatherapy #yogaover40 #pelvicfloordysfunction #nervoussystemhealing

There are a lot of symptoms that point in the direction of pelvic dysfunction. Even though some of these symptoms are very common, it doesn't mean that they are normal and that you should ignore them because they're just a part of aging. In fact, ignoring them can actually lead to furthering the dysfunction and increasing the severity of symptoms overtime. Remember that when your body is giving you symptoms, it's trying to give you the message that it needs your attention! If you'd like to start working on your pelvic health, I do have a 14 day 🆓 trial for my pelvic yoga classes With an entire program called, Restore Your Pelvic Floor dedicated to helping you figure these things out immediately. see you on the mat yogis! 🩷❤️🧡💛🩶 #pelvicfloordysfunction #pelvicpain #pelvichealth #pelvicfloorexercises #pelvicfloor #yogabenefits #yogaforbeginners #tightpelvicfloor #hypertonicpelvicfloor #fyp #foryou #hippain #hipmobility #yogaathome #yogatherapy #yogaover40 #pelvicfloordysfunction #nervoussystemhealing
