Do you walk like this ⬆️🤪⁠ ⁠ Pelvic instability is the most common contributor to pelvic floor dysfunction that I see in my patients! BUT pelvic instability if often skipped in the treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction, which is why there is a lack of lasting results.⁠ ⁠ If you walk like this, then chances are you already have pelvic floor issues (not necessarily incontinence) or you are on your way there. ⁠ ⁠ Whether it's hip pain, pelvic pain, hip issues, chronic lower back pain, incontinence, or tight pelvic floor you MUST assess your posture and movement. Hope this helps! ⁠ ⁠ #pelvicfloordysfunction #gaitanalysis #gluteworkout #posture #functionalmovement
