Hello Inner Thighs. Meet Pelvic Floor!
July Schedule: Week Three
•
31m
Considered the Super Highway to the Pelvic Floor, the inner thighs play an important role in our pelvic health. They are directly connected to our second layer of the pelvic floor, where our urogenital diaphragm resides and within that, the urethral sphincter. When there's restriction, it has the possibilities to create dysfunction like incontinence, pain and urge. It can also cause external genital pain, Vulvodynia, with symptoms like burning, rawness and itching.
So today we will stretch the inner thighs as well as bring some strength to them! If you are new to inner thigh strengthening, please take note of the days after your practice to make sure it doesn't exacerbate any symptoms. If it does, revisit the opening and lengthening part of inner thigh work and then be very gradual with your stability work as you add it back.
