Hi, me again. Thanks for this video. Another suggestion... maybe some foam rolling and stretching for breast feeding mamas video (chest, upper back, lower back and neck). Also would love to see a relaxing pelvic floor breathing video. Thanks so much Kendra for all your content here. Love your channel.
hello:) i don't know how to explain this but I bite on this small device that strengthens my jawline cuz I lose focus in trying to breath right while lifting pelvic floor and It helps me breath right and allows me to get that tummy:) sucked in and stay there.
I haven't done this yet but it looks great. I am lucky in that my husband uses an electric massage arm with a hard ball on my back and that can hurt but it's a good pain because I know it'll relieve the endless stiff pain - the massage ball sort of irons it out and stops it with any luck and then I sleep really well. I find sometimes people, especially women, are scared if there is pain or if they feel slightly sick but I find this pain reduces if I keep doing the exercises and if I feel sick I just rest for a few minutes until it passes. I try not to let this stop me trying to do these exercises completely which I think is what so many women do. I find if I do stop that's when I get endless, solid pain. Please don't take my word for this - I am only giving you my experience and my opinion - I'm not a medic and I'm not Kendra and would always defer to her opinion. She has helped me so much. Thank you again Kendra. I am so much fitter now. I do your shoulder programme and 12 poses one day and your stomach exercises and others my husband has shown me on the other day. I often rest on the third or fourth day. Thank you. x
@@KendraFitzgerald Thank you. Perhaps you could cover the issue of pain and sickness sometime? I would really like to hear your views even if you disagree. I remember once using eye drops which were supposed to soothe eyes - I found they hurt me a lot so stopped using them. Then a pharmacist told me that they did hurt if your eyes were inflamed and I found that was true - if my eyes were fine they didn't hurt. However, there was nothing in the instructions about this so naturally I had assumed that I must be allergic to something in the drops. We learn as children that if something hurts, we should avoid it but that's not always the right thing to do. It's obviously difficult because if it is agony then maybe we should stop!
Transformative! Thank you so much. I have been doing various strengthening and stretching exercises and just could not get sufficient pain relief. I was rolling the ball on the wall and my partner was doing some massage with his knuckles. But this was the best thing ever. I could feel the heat build in my muscles the way it would after a massage, as the circulation increases. I'm hoping that this routine with the hot water bottle will give me some lasting relief. I plan to do this again tomorrow.
@@KendraFitzgerald can you recommend any releases like this to get at the top of the shoulder - the soft part between the neck and shoulders? (Is that the trap and the scalenes?) Would love to see another video!!!
I have very old and constant pain (about 5 years) in the area of the muscle that raises the scapula and the top of the trapezius (right side), I tried doing exercises with a ball (and yoga) - everything has a temporary light effect... as soon as I sit down at the PC - immediately pains and ''pulling'' sensations appear again. Sometimes I even wake up at night, from what "painfull-pulls" in the shoulders and near the shoulder blade...
Right! This is common. A temporary release of the muscle is found when you do some release work / stretching, but when you go back to a posture or movement pattern that your body is used to, the pain pops back up. you might look into the mobility of your shoulders / upper back / neck to see where you're holding tension, and what might be pulling your neck forward. You can also try my 7-minute "morning neck and shoulder stretches' video here to see how that helps (it works on active mobility). Let me know! ua-cam.com/video/csQ-GhNwPNM/v-deo.html
THIS IS A...M...A...ZZZZZZ.....I.N.G!!!. thank you kendra. i wish i could do my whole body. good nite. i'm gonna sleep pelvic floor tight all through the night while drooling on cloud 9+:) have a lot x more pain in those areas:( feeling better! WOWEEEEEEE. i feel like i had a drink and i don't drink:) Just wonderful!!!
Would the 16 min accessing deep core relax me. And is doing it on bed b OK cuz I just want to konk out. My mind races. Insomnia. I normallt do this 1st thing in morning on floor when my tummy is fattest. Thankuu for ur quick response. I'd love to visit u some day cuz ur really helping me:)
Yes! There is a bit of neck release with the ball at the end, but we have to be gentle with myofascial release on the neck. In my experience, most neck pain actually comes from the shoulders, so starting below is a great place to begin!
Hey ya'll! Give this myofascial release a try and let me know what you think!
Thanks! This helped me a lot😊
Glad it helped!
This was so helpful and so well explained. Thank you! Here’s hoping less back pain!
I'm thrilled this was helpful Tiffany! Definitely let me know how it goes!
Damn I hope to get this right. Can't blame the teacher or even the educational industrial complex on this one. HOOK EM coach
🙌 Let me know if you need more guidance!
I love ballwork and teach it myself, but I learned a few new things still (seatbelt!) - thank you!
Oh I'm so glad!

I love this idea! Absolutely, will add these both to the list. Thank you!!
My doctor just recommended me this video to help with my shoulder pain
I’m so happy to hear this! Please send my appreciation to your doctor!
Breathwork is key! It's the only way I can get my rib to go back into place when it slips, any suggestions for that one? (Prevention preferably)
Ooh that sounds intense Sunny! What part of the breathwork / mobility gets your rib to go back into place?
@@KendraFitzgerald I use a roller and a full inhale to get it back in place. Without the inhale to full extent it doesn't do a thing besides hurt
Oh wow! Without seeing you move it's hard to tell, but definitely keep doing this breath if it's helpful in keeping that rib in place!

So thrilled you enjoyed it! (Also, no need to hold your pelvic floor tight all the time, it can relax too, like any other muscle!)
Would the 16 min accessing deep core relax me. And is doing it on bed b OK cuz I just want to konk out. My mind races. Insomnia. I normallt do this 1st thing in morning on floor when my tummy is fattest. Thankuu for ur quick response. I'd love to visit u some day cuz ur really helping me:)
Yes it would! So glad it's helpful!
so what about neck? it was more about shoulders
Yes! There is a bit of neck release with the ball at the end, but we have to be gentle with myofascial release on the neck. In my experience, most neck pain actually comes from the shoulders, so starting below is a great place to begin!
