Pelvic Floor Secrets for Hypermobility (Ep 127)

[@BohanPTtraining]

What other questions do you have about pelvic floor physical therapy?

[@seeingstellae]

I think fibro and ankylosing spondylitis should be included in conversations like this. Gi issues, costochondritis, and many other symptoms are very similar.

Yes pelvic pain since broken tailbone 27 years fybromyalgia mainly upper body 8

Emily, do you find that foot pain and Achilles pain can be linked or caused by pelvic dysfunction? Great chat ladies. Thanks for sharing.

[@BohanPTtraining]

Hi QuickSilverHair! The feet, knees and hips all closely communicate with each other - which can also tie into how the pelvis is moving and how the pelvic floor is functioning. So they can certainly be related to each other. We also have big fascial planes that start at our feet/achilles and run up the back of our leg and across the pelvis, and so if there is some fascial issues going on that could also make those issues feel "connected". Hope this answered your question!

[@QuickSilverHair]

@ thank you for answering. I’d like to rephrase a little, since I do understand a little about the fascia and all being connected and working together. Do you find pelvic floor PT to benefit the feet and Achilles pains, esp when foot and Achilles PT is not working as expected? This may or may not be related to Tarlov cysts, but would still like to understand what options my PT and I can look into.

I love this questions and look forward to Emily’s reply.

@@QuickSilverHair It could be beneficial, hard to say exactly without knowing details - but if there is also hip issues involved, then there could be benefit to pelvic floor treatment to improving feet/achilles pain. Hope this answers your question!

An unrelated question but I have a new question about why my hands would suddenly turn bright red and have white blotchy spots like the Piezogenic bumps on my feet. My hands don’t seem cold but I was using my hands a lot yesterday and the symptoms appeared in middle of night.

[@b_uppy]

Are your hands warm when this happens? Are you intolerant of heat in summer (outside of hot flashes)? How long has this been going on? To me sounds the red hands sounds like opposite of a condition called Raynauds. With Raynauds hands can be blue, or whitish and feel physically cold.

[@KT-eh6yv]

@ last night my hands weren’t hot but may have been warm under bed covers. Noticed it today again after doing some vigorous vacuuming . So odd that from my wrists up the color changes dramatically to red and white!

[@b_uppy]

@@KT-eh6yv There is a disorder similar to a raynauds but it's related to getting hot instead of cold in the hands. I am ignorant of its name. Again, it's unrelated to age-related hot flashes.

Have you ever had an embarrassing “oops” moment?
