The Hips & your pelvic floor
If you’ve been doing all the pelvic floor work but still feel tight and uncomfortable… your hips might be the missing piece.
Your pelvic floor doesn’t exist in isolation.
It’s part of a larger system that includes your hip rotators, glutes, and adductors. These muscles are anatomically close and functionally connected.
When your hips are chronically tight, they create tension that directly impacts your pelvic floor.
Your pelvis gets pulled into a restricted position, which doesn’t allow your pelvic floor to fully lengthen and relax.
If your hips are constantly gripping, your pelvic floor mirrors that tension.
This is why you can’t just Kegel your way out of pelvic floor dysfunction.
If the surrounding hip muscles are creating constant tension, you’re fighting a losing battle.
You have to release the tight hips, release the pelvic floor, restore proper movement, and THEN strengthen from a more functional foundation.
So if you’re experiencing tight pelvic floor symptoms like burning pain, painful pe*******on, frequent urination, urge incontinence, tailbone pain and non-GI constipation, this is not just an isolated pelvic floor issue, it’s a hip issue also.
