49. The Hip-Pelvic Floor Connection: Why Your Hip Pain Might Need a Different Approach


Listen Later

Hip pain is something many women chalk up to “just the way it is” - especially as we move through different seasons of life.


But…what if your hips are telling you there’s MORE going on beneath the surface? 


In today’s episode, we’re zooming in on why the hip-pelvic floor connection plays a critical role here. Pelvic floor therapy can help tremendously with reducing pain, restoring movement, AND supporting overall wellness.


The truth is, your hips and pelvic floor share fascial and neural connections, meaning what happens in one area almost always affects the other.


And no…stretching alone won’t resolve hip pain.  While it can help in the short term, long-term improvement comes from strengthening, building stability, and retraining the nervous system so your body feels safe enough to move freely again!


Ultimately, working with a pelvic health provider can be the missing piece for addressing hip pain (whether you’re experiencing other pelvic symptoms or not). Also - don’t miss a special announcement from Roxi in this one!!


In this episode, we’re covering:

  • How hip pain can actually be a primary sign of pelvic floor dysfunction
  • Why limited hip mobility changes pelvic mechanics + increases load on pelvic floor muscles
  • Common overlapping symptoms when hip + pelvic floor issues show up together
  • Understanding that hips are more than just the “butt” + how the piriformis plays a big role
  • Why stretching alone won’t solve your hip pain
