How Your Feet Affect Your Pelvic Floor

Описание: 🦶HOW YOUR FEET AFFECT YOUR PELVIC FLOOR🦶
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I keep getting Qs about this so here goes!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here’s the deal: most of the movement patterns that are good for your feet are also good for your (PF).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When you do stuff that’s good for your feet, you also help your pelvic floor. Here’s 3 basic ways that happens:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1️⃣ How you hold your weight when you stand.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Most people stand hips forward of heels - pushing their pelvis out in front. This puts all your weight on your forefoot, which isn’t designed for that, so it can play into plantar fasciitis & forefoot pain. It ALSO keeps your PF muscles short & weak.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2️⃣ How you walk.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Walking is a combo of a) falling forward & b) pushing from behind (posterior push off (PPO)) - ideally we all want more PPO & less falling!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
PPO is the BEST for your PF because it lengthens & strengthens your PF muscles. AND PPO is the BEST for your feet because they’re working as part of your walk which keeps them strong & mobile.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For PPO, you need ankle dorsiflexion, toe mobility, hip extension & lateral hip strength - and NO heel rise in your shoes. So when I teach foot stuff, I also teach ankle, hip & walking stuff because they’re connected!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3️⃣ Stiff feet drag down your hips.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Your feet are attached to your hips. Stiff feet limit & weaken your hip rotators - key PF muscles. Forefoot mobility plus hip mobility can create a better relationship between your feet & hips - plus help your ankles, knees & PF. This is the most complex part of foot work. Make forefoot & hip mobility a priority to get started!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Foot work is truly whole body work & the impacts go way past your feet! Hit me up with your Qs if any of this isn’t clear!
