🔸The WHY: This position is especially helpful for gliding your femur back into your hip socket to increase flexibility through the back of your hip (the one supported on the block) which in turn increases flexibility of your pelvic floor on that same side. Notice if one side feels tighter than the other… • 🔸The FOCUS: On the leg that’s propped on the block, shift your weight over and then back as much as is comfortable for you to feel a therapeutic stretch through the back of your hip. Then bring your attention to your breath. • 🔸How to BREATHE: Your INHALE is your pelvic floor’s BFF to generate length and inc flexibility. Draw air in deeply through your nose, directing it down into the space between your sits bones (you’ll feel more length near the sit bone on the side with the block). As you do this, invite your ribcage, belly and pelvic floor to expand with your inhale. Then gently exhale the air out and notice your pelvic floor gently recoil; repeat this breath practice x1min on ea side. • 🔹If it is hard for you to feel what’s happening at your pelvic floor, place a hand on your perineum so you can better sense what is happening at your pelvic floor while you breathe. With practice this will become easier and more intuitive. • ____________________ • 🔻 Subscribe for more like this: https://youtube.com/c/DrChristinePiet... • Connect with me on social! • Dr. Christine Pieton, PT, DPT • 🔹 IG @pietonpt • 🔹 Website: https://pietonpt.com/ • Medical Disclaimer: The information shared on this channel is strictly for educational purposes and is NOT a substitute for medical advice.
