Module 2: GPS (glutes, psoas & sitz bones)
Myofascial Release for Pelvic Health
•
42m
We will be exploring the fascia of the glutes, top of the hamstrings where they attach at the sitz bone and also the psoas and lower abdominal area. All things that will help with low back pain, tight pelvic floor, potentially knee pain, discomfort around the tailbone, sciatica and restricted hips. That's a lot!
Today's class is around 40 minutes because we had some big areas that we needed to tackle and I didn't want to rush into the work without a proper warm up. So plan accordingly! You will feel amazing when you're done though, so the extra time is worth it. The glutes and pelvic floor are so intricately connected that really what affects one will affect the other. There is a push pull relationship between the PF and glutes that helps stabalize the sacrum. Also, the piriformis sits at the center of the glute and often times it will start to restrict the sciatic nerve and cause pain down the leg. The work we did today will help with that!
You will need two tennis balls, a yoga block and a small pillow to support your head (optional.)
