Fantastic video, thanks for sharing all your great knowledge. I can’t believe you are giving it as a free course.... you are amazing.... You look really good, and beautiful, wonderful to have you back💕I’m going to sign to it right now 😘
Hi Osnat! I am feeling better and better! Finally able to work out again, starting to feel stronger/fitter and more spirited :) ALWAYS good to see you/hear from you!
OMG, Elisha. I think you figured me out! I've been watching your videos on and off and this one really hit home. I've been doing all sorts of calf exercises and releases which have helped with the plantar's fasciitis. Though this has helped, my hamstrings kept locking up any time I did lunges, squats, dead lifts. I must have really compensated a few weeks ago because I threw my back out a bit and after doing lunge/twists, completely clicked a rib out. Thank God, my PT did a couple of manipulations and dry needling. He got my low back to stop hurting and got my rib back in place. Then, my damn left foot starting hurting again and my hamstring kept locking up! I thought I was going crazy and re-injuring all the pieces and parts. Never thought that they were all connected in some way. My PT is actually treating me for pelvic instability. I thought it was just my lower back (coccyx bone) that was injured--perhaps this is due to glute inhibition? This video really explained things so clearly to me. Now I can actually articulate what is hurting and why. I'm so glad you stuck with a left-side scenario because that's where it's all happening for me! Thank you so much!
Hi Nettie - wow, YES - sounds like a strong case for pelvic instability and probably glute inhibition as well. I relate. It's my left glute/shoulder/mid back. Shoulders and glutes are related, and the low back is sort of in the middle of this tug of war to keep your spine stable. When pain bounces around like this, you can pretty much bet there is at least one muscle not firing, which throws you into compensation. What's your PT doing with you for the pelvic instability? And - have they mentioned glute inhibition yet?
Dear Elisha Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I have been suffering with plantar pain and have tried so much. I have already noticed improvements just from 2 days using your methods. One of my daughters is named Eleisha same as you, different spelling. I will pass this on. I can see you being as popular as Wim Hoff you are definitely on to something truly life improving. 🙌👍
@MobilityMaster I am a soccer player, and I tore my right Achilles. I think my foot now grips the ground as you mentioned and I have right heel/Achilles pain. I now have a pelvic instability, so much so that my left hip has become higher than the right. I have done a lot of work on getting my glutes stronger but my instability remains. I have signed up for your class, thanks for the video!
Hey Benjamin - the free class was taken down because it contained some dated material. I'll be offering a November holiday bundle of all my online courses for less than any of them cost alone, including Solving Pelvic Instability (SPI). So that will be the next opportunity to jump into that course and get your hips/pelvic stable, glute firing and find the root cause. The only other option for working with me is 1-1, but I'm $200/hr with limited availability. If you are interested in that, please email info@mobilitymastery.com, and we'll get you on the waitlist and/or a list of open times (depending on when you email, I may or may not have availability). One tip I can give you now is that if your left hip appears higher, there's a good chance your left adductors are taking over to stabilize you medially (on the inside of your leg) while playing soccer, for a lack of glute activation. Try my adductor technique with the basketball. If I'm right, it won't solve the problem for good (you'd need to figure out why your glutes stopped firing and get them firing to solve it permanently), but it might help you manage until you find the root cause.
I am glad I watched this! I've had this nagging feeling ever since you mentioned pelvic instability and glutes not firing. Due to muscular dystrophy I have lots of muscles not firing right now, but I have a feeling this may be an important area for me to focus on. The day you sent this I had woken up in lots of pain (which is a good sign because my body is starting to communicate with me again!). I have especially been noticing pain in my right heel in the mornings when I first wake up, but it either goes away or I stop noticing it. Yesterday, I tried the calf and hamstring releases on my right leg and the pain was much less. I was even able to get my right glutes working again. My left leg felt a bit stiff this morning, so I worked on that, too. I've still got a long way to go toward getting my body back, but I'm willing to put in the work. I'm looking forward to more of your insights in the free training!
Hi, thanks for your video. Im the perfect example of what you are explaining. I've had a pelvis instability for 14 months now, my pubic bone and adductors hurt a lot and know my left foot hurts too. Please i dont find the free training "solving pelvic instability" and i think i really need it, where Can i find it ? Thank you so much. Julie
I'm definitely not balanced in my pelvic region so I'm very sure I need help with this! I am more than 1" longer on my right side. I have been experiencing a lot of numbness and tingling in my feet (and sometimes my calves) and releasing my calves and hamstrings can provide significant relief. But I need to work the fascia every other day. There is a connection to neuropathy here. With the knowledge that my pelvic region can be the root, I am very excited and hopeful. To sleep through the night again would be such a gift! Thank you!!!🥰
Hi Deanna - this sounds very much like pelvic instability and probably glute inhibition on one side. One leg being "longer" is definitely a sign of imbalance in the fascia, which pulls one hip down making the other one appear higher (or vice versa). You should (as in - this should be available to everyone, sleep is so important) be able to sleep through the night! Looking forward to seeing you at the free training.
@@ElishaCeleste actually, I was born with the leg length difference! Doctors operated when I was 10 to try to slow the right leg down so I wouldn't need a shoe lift. But I'm still 1 inch out.
@@deannariley68 got it! You're in the minority then (and there's a lot you can do to help your body maintain stability/balance even with the 1 inch discrepancy). Most people are told they have one leg longer than the other but it's an alignment issue not an actual bone length issue. In your case, your shorter leg will have to work harder to meet the ground, which often results in really tense lateral fascia - IT Bands, TFL, peroneals.
Glad this feels helpful! The thing I've heard from most people over the years is that their physio or other specialist tells them their glutes aren't firing, but doesn't tell them WHY or how to correct it. Did that happen with you too?
@@ElishaCeleste it was a few years ago now, but I remember he gave me an exercise to focus some mind/body connection intent in order to wake the muscles up...sadly it triggered some CPTSD symptoms, and I blanked the information ...but I still am working at reconnecting with my body, in safety, and having healthy embodiment - I hope
@@debaffleck443 ahhhh, yeah - the whole pelvic area (hips/pelvic floor, sacrum, deep core) is our SEAT, our base, our foundation of safety. Hopefully you're ready to move through the healing process now without being re-triggered?
I had a baby two years ago and I have been dealing with this nonstop and have been in and out of pelvic floor physical for two years! You explained me to a T! Literally every single detail. Very hard time activating my glutes but I think it’s also because my right hip flexor is incredibly tight and I don’t know how to release it stretching is not doing anything! Do you have exercises to activate the glutes??
TY I have been doing all your exercises for a few weeks ago for PF. Originally on one side due to other side's top of foot tendon injury, that healed years ago but now I have both sides. Incredible results with your calf and quad release, but I couldn't clear up the inner heel bottom pain/tingling. I have been skimping on the hamstrings and did it along w/ u just now and that got it! Can I mention Gokhale Method which has really helped my posture while sitting and walking, it involves tilting your pelvis down and a J spine, which engages your GLUTES as you push forward in your gait. This combined with you has been a magic recipe!
Hi! I love your videos and would love information about pelvic instability. I think this is my issue. But it doesn’t say on the landing page what the format of the training will be. Is it digital content I can log onto? Is it live and I need to be available at a certain time? Could you provide some information about the training?
Hi Christine! Great points/suggestions, we'll edit the page as soon as we can. For now, I hope this helps: the free training will be a pre-recorded video with a private chat section where you can ask me questions about the content. So it's not live, you won't have to attend at a certain time, I'm not pretending it's live when really it's pre-recorded (so many people do this, but it doesn't feel right to me). There will be an offer for a paid course. I'll always be transparent about that. But the free training is designed to make sense of pelvic instability for you, and show you what you'd need to do to solve it for good depending on a few scenarios (flat back posture, lordosis, neutral spine etc). For people who want guided step by step help from A-Z in solving the issue, there will be a chance to enroll in a course with live support where we'll do all the steps together as a group for 5 weeks. So the free training will be available for about a week before we close it down. March 19th is when it goes live. I hope that helps :)
Great video and you explain so much. Makes so much sense! Is it possible to have pelvic instability w the the glute muscle groups fully firing? #fascinated!!
YES, I do think it's possible to have pelvic instability with glutes all firing. In that case I might suspect lack of deep core activation, which can cause pelvic instability too. And, the brain could detect PI even if all muscles are firing, leading to compensations (and potentially, pain).
Thanks - so glad I found you . Going to diligently try this out over the next week or so for my lateral band of plantar fasciitis pain - Is clunking mostly fascial adhesions and does it eventually go away over time?. So in other words it might not be a bad thing if you have “clunking “ as you roll as this might be where the problem is and why you’re in pain ?
"Clunking" is normal, and sometimes those adhesions go away completely. But the important thing is that the sensation of releasing the fascial adhesions stops feeling "intense" or painful, that's a sign that your fascia is getting healthier.
I have watch this series and unfortunately have all the issues Plantar fasciitis in one foot, Achilles tendinitis in the other really bad pain in tailbone area bad ongoing pain in lower buttocks and all areas of hips lower back Do I just start with the fascia release / mapping? Obviously my issue is hip stability- another question I have is can it be a structural issues / hereditary? As my sisters of various ages and weights suffer with similar issues to do with hips and lower body circulation
I cannot do it at all unassited. If I hold onto say a counter or edge if the sink, I only lift up if my body bends forward. Never straight up.Thank you for asking. Do you do any private sessions on line?
@@janiswright6317 - it definitely SOUNDS like instability in the pelvis and probably a lack of deep core activation, or lack of glutes. I sometimes do online consultations, but it's pretty rare these days.
Thank you so much...I will research some exercises and review all you have. I understand that you are not doing consultations. Sure enjoy your information.
