How to walk better for a healthy, functional pelvic floor | Pelvic floor walking exercise

Save this exercise! Do it daily. It is so easy - cause you do not need a mat. So satisfying because you are really getting your glutes AND hips AND mimicking walking so it is functional.⁣
⁣
💡Why this helps your pelvic floor ⁣
⁣
1. Every single step you take affects your pelvic floor. ⁣
2. The push-off phase is where our glute needs to contract but to allow that, the hip needs to lengthen. ⁣
3. Tight hips WILL inhibit this action - and you end up in borrow-land. Borrowing the movement from somewhere else and worse - not getting that essential pelvic floor action.⁣
4. The pelvic floor needs the hip to lengthen and the glute to contract to support your organs and entire pelvic floor system. Without that - you end up in compensate-land - pelvic floor not able to react and support you with movement and walking AND other structures / muscles trying to do that job. More borrowing.⁣
⁣
This exercise is BRILLIANT for addressing this issue. ⁣

Tight hips? Covered. ⁣
Glutes not stepping up? Check.⁣
Pelvic floor exhibiting signs of compromise - whether via prolapse, incontinence, painful sex, hypertonic pelvic floor? Do this. ⁣
⁣
Some things to note that are so important! ⁣
⁣
1. Your pelvis needs to tuck under like your life depends on it⁣
2. Your back leg is slightly bent but actively trying to straighten ⁣
3. Your back heel never reaches the floor as you try to straighten your back leg - that is because in trying to straighten in, you are NOT moving it, only activating the muscles to do i⁣
4. Do ONE side, walk, feel the change, do the other side⁣
5. Do not skip number 4 - your muscles change when they FEEL the changes they made. Motivation of sorts.⁣

Hi! Was referred to you by PT Lynn Schulte. But I’m confused here. What issue are we fixing? Also, I don’t understand the end of the video. What is the super tucked pelvis for? On all the other after north healing vids the pros seem to all say “untuck your pelvis” and “keep pelvis neutral.” Please help us understand why you say to tuck so much here. Also, the end of this vid is completely covered up by your picture icon and next vid icon. I’d love to see the whole video without that interference.
