Physical Therapy Neck and Shoulder Stretches for Pelvic Health

Do these physical therapy neck and shoulder stretches while seated or standing up, and see how they improve your alignment (how your joints line up), posture (how you hold yourself), and breathing! You will be amazed at how much alignment, posture, and breathing impact your pelvic health. Do these PT neck and shoulder stretches at least 3-5 times/week if you're tight in the upper body... see how it improves your pelvic floor and your ENTIRE mind + body.
This routine is appropriate for hypertonic (tight) and hypotonic (lax) pelvic floor muscles. Helpful for all types of pelvic floor conditions including pelvic organ prolapse, bladder leakage, pelvic pain, pelvic tension, and more. All genders and all ages can benefit from these stretches! Listen to your body and stop or modify if anything feels uncomfortable for your particular core/pelvic floor needs.

I'm so proud of my KZbin community for recognizing that the ENTIRE BODY is connected, and the connection between neck health and pelvic health. This is a "viewers's choice" video... thanks for requesting it! I hope it helps lots of people!

[@savina4249]

Your channel is so underrated! You deserve millions of views.

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

Awww ! Thank you !

[@leonafanning8566]

This is the first video that actually tells people how to breathe properly. My Physiotherapist said image your RIBS ARE AN UMBRELLA AND OPEN THD FRONT & BACK RIBS UP.

[@deborahmichaels6065]

Thank you so much, Dr. Bri! This practice alleviated a tension headache that I'd had for a few days. Your guidance on correct breathing was the most helpful tutorial I've come across on this topic: even though I learned in my twenties that I was a shallow breather and have worked to bring breath into my belly for decades now, the additional awareness of bringing the breath into the lower back was so enlightening.

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

Wonderful! So glad these stretches provided relief !

[@rosagoglia4649]

That’s a bit amazing that there is a connection with the pelvic floor like this! .. well… my neck feels better, surely:))

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

The whole body is connected. Glad your neck feels better!

Doc, you should add some sound absorbing pads in your exercise studio. It will take care of the reverb and noise that is reflected from the walls.

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

I've just discovered your site. These are wonderful videos. Might you consider including comments about whether one can do these stretches if one has been diagnosed based on a Dexascan with ostopenia and osteoporosis. Thank you so much!

Typically, gentle workouts are helpful. However, I recommend seeing a local pelvic floor PT for individualized guidance. ~ Leila from Vibrant Support

Can YOU please make 🙏 a video on Nouli Kriya please 🙏

[@00886739]

I have been treating the problem of the pelvic floor for 5 months and I have improved by about 95%. I would like to enter a club to strengthen the muscles of my body through weights “without doing deadlifts” because the more I strengthen one of the muscles of the body, I feel that the pelvic floor improves more, such as the muscles of the neck and back And the feet and shoulders, so are there general tips before I enter the club .. Thank you 🌹🌹

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

I would recommend checking with your pelvic floor PT on individualized guidance. Typically, maintaining good alignment, breathing properly, and listening to your body needs help :)

[@00886739]

@@vibrantpelvichealth Unfortunately the country I live in does not have a physiotherapist who specializes in the pelvic floor.. Any general advice before entering a gym? More precisely, do resistance exercises with weights harm the pelvis?

I am sorry I don’t have any recommendation as I like to be barefoot. You may want to check cushioned socks

During your exercises you say to “zip up” do you mean to pull in like kegels and hold the whole time you’re doing that exercise? I’m confused. Thanks

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

Yes, it can

[@Truerealism747]

This why it's started upper body after decades pelvic pain though ime totaly hypomobility all over neurologist says it's migraine in the body huh get checked everyone for me it's related to Asperger's bas hypomobility comes with Asperger's and pain took till 43 to find out

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

I am glad you got answers to help you understand your symptoms. ~Leila from Vibrant Support

[@SuperIndianbeast]

What does it mean if I have back pain doing this. Does this mean mean my back is weak which was causing my neck to become tight? I also have a hypertonic pelvic floor btw. I just had an anxiety attack trigger a flare up again 😢

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

Experiencing back pain during exercises can result from various factors. With a hypertonic pelvic floor and neck tension, these factors may contribute to your discomfort. To alleviate back pain, try relaxation techniques, focus on exercises and stretches that improve posture, and consult a healthcare provider or physical therapist for personalized guidance. Seek professional help if pain persists or worsens. ~ Leila from Vibrant Support
