Omg, this video is most need for me. You are absolutely correct how your pelvic and fascia is connected. Since my knee surgery 3 years ago. My knee never got a perfect bend shortly after I had my pop. I have been working on exercises for my knee , toes, spreading them, ankle, calves and doing hip work. I hope some these suggested exercises I will incorporate them. I also do cupping myself and this helps my fascia . Seat yoga has been helpful. Thanks so much. It will give relief so much needed.
@@nerydupage3043 that's a great idea to roll the bottom of your foot on a golf ball, or a tennis ball!

Am sixty years runner, I have had Insertional tendinopathy pain for over seven months, tried massage, ice blocks, tabs, rested for three weeks.... nothing worked and I was contemplating giving up when I stumbled on this video....I followed your moves...the pain has almost disappeared in two days 👍
I have very painful phacitios, I came across Dr. Bri and this video. After my first time doing this there was quite a lift in my step. Then the strength just follows along the pelvic through to the rest of your body. She is wonderful. ❤
I’m so glad you did this video because as an Occupational Therapist specializing in Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation, I teach my clients to address the feet for the same reasons. I m surprised that this wasn’t included in any of the training I received. I just don’t hear therapists making this connection in most videos. Thanks!
When you do a walk for exercise, and dig your heel into the ground then roll onto the ball of your foot with each step, you are doing a lot for your pelvic floor. I’m almost 99 and do this every day!
I now have a pessary. I will likely opt for surgery but I am in no hurry. I also have poly peripheral neuropathy so I am pretty de-conditoned in general. I am also 76 and live alone. It is tough. Even driving can be a problem with numbness over longer distances. The reason I am writing is because I have searched and used some of the youtube videos for POP. Yours are the best. I understand the lengthy prelude and explanation before every exercise initially, but after a time or two, if you are trying to use the videos regularly, it is frustrating time co and time consuming to sit through all the instruction when you just want to do your exercises. For me, it would be so helpful to have an initial video that goes through all the reasons and instructions, etc. but then it would be nice to move to another video with just the sequence of exercises you could do along with it. It could have reminders of this or that, but not the whole speech. It would also be great to have videos separated into seated, standing or floor POP exercises, which you already do , buy, again separated from the initial one with all the instructions. If you created some of these, you could see them by subscription or video class. I would love to be able to just do the exercises with you without having to extend the process of what you have already taught me or by having to stop and start the video. I have not purchased the LIFT program because I am afraid that it is set up the same way. Thank you for your help and kind, loving approach. But, I am struggling to function with daily chores as it is and I can only deal with so many in a day. The quality of my life is tanked.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences. Your feedback about the videos is valuable. I understand your desire for condensed exercise videos and separating them by categories. While I can't modify existing videos, your input will be considered for future content. If you're considering the LIFT program, know that it offers a structured approach. However, your comfort and needs come first. I empathize with your challenges and am here to support you.You're not alone on this journey. 🌼
EVERYONE needs to do this workout on a regular basis-feet health is so important to me - I've always had jobs where I was on my feet so in my 40's I developed heel spurs and plantar fasciitis - once you go down that road it's very difficult to reverse-- these exercises are great - your body NEEDS flexible feet for optimum health but your feet are so easy to ignore. Now there's no excuse! Love this workout
@@vibrantpelvichealthyou are right doctor. When we get problem then we realise. I am running 64 and having pain in my feet and right heel. I will go with these exercises. 😊
Start 1:56 heel lift, 3:27 both heels lift; 4:35 alternate fore feet up; 5:30 heel walk 6:00 tipping to the right then to the leftb 6:59 in vergent and out vergent edges; 8:01 toes crunching towel; 9:48 (best with socks) toes outward heels inward =turning pelvic inward, and toes inward heel outward is pelvic turns external.
I just found your channel yesterday and I already feel optimistic regarding helping to alleviate my pelvic pain. I honestly did not know that stress can effect this part of my body, but now I understand. I always associated stress as in shoulder or back pain. Now I feel there are a variety of options for me to feel better and have a better quality life. I could tell in doing the feet exercises, especially the last two how my pelvic area opened up. Thank you!!! ❤
Amazing class! I notice the feet in V like that is called "first position" in ballet and promotes lifting the pelvic floor and recently found out a FANTASTIC TIP towards that: "Feel as though you could slip a sheet of paper under the heels" said the ballet teacher and that totally helps get that lifted feeling! It's like it keeps us from collapsing into the heels but still being on them.
You are amazing, not only with all your great workouts for us to do, but also with how well you respond to us all. You've responded in some way to every comment on here so far. Thank you for taking the time to help us all and for the all the love you show us by responding to us when you can and for your new workouts. P.S. you dont have to respond to this, you can take a break on this one =)
Oh my, I’m so grateful for this video! It appeared on my feed, and now I’m subscribed 👍 I’m 61 and finding so much benefit from this foot workout. Am happy to say that I had already been doing every morning a couple of the exercises you recommend, so this gives me a great validation 🙌
I am so grateful to have found your you tube channel. All week I have been suffering with incredible sciatic and other nerve pain in my feet all the way up to the pelvic area. I put it out to the universe to find something to help me and voila! It was difficult for me to do some of these exercises but I pushed through. It was amazing! The pain disappeared! I only had a tinge of pain when I went to bed and this morning. I will do some other exercises on your channel but I'm taking it slow as I have suffered may years with this. Thank you for dedicting a channel for this.
I have had the same issue. I have recently started rebounding. I have no more pain in my feet and feel so much better overall. It's good for so many things! Have to be sure to get a good quality rebounder though. I am going to try these exercises as well.😊
Thank you so much! I have been having frequent urination issues and have a retroverted uterus. I also have been having issues with plantar fasciitis. It has all clicked to me how all my issues have been connected. Your exercises are really helping me get back to being number one! So much ❤ to you!
Dr Bri's. I was looking at video for pelvic flexibility and Foot flexibility and landed on this. I have saved this after doing exercise under your guidance. Awesome. 5 stars to you. I will do this regularly for next fews days . Thanks
Your workout has done wonders. I fell from the first story Roof and hit my pelvis on a stone wall and was thrown from a horse. This has truly activated muscles And Removed a lot of pain in my lower leg. You are brilliant thank you for a very happy morning.
Thanks for these exercises. I’ve had foot cramps for years and tried all sorts of treatments which helped very little. No one ever mentioned to exercise my feet!
This was great! I can’t believe how my feet and calves are out of shape. I was getting leg cramps while doing these. I have arthritis in my feet and ankles so this is something I really need to keep doing. Thank you again for all you do!
I can so relate to leg cramps. Really affects my ability to exercise. I find relief with additional oral Magnesium, Epsom Salt baths, or even just foot soaks and adequate hydration i.e.water and salt. I also now keep Hylands Leg Cramp Ointment at hand and their Leg Cramp pills, both act right away. Mustard by the teaspoon takes away foot and leg cramps, too. I know, sounds weird but it works for me.
Hi Dr. Bri, I just came across your video and was able to follow along. I was recently diagnosed with pelvic floor issues. I feel that I can do these Exercises to strengthen my pelvic area. Thank you!
Hi Dr. Bri, I stumbled on your video and started doing these exercises daily a couple weeks ago. I am a avid road cyclist an part time runner. Your workout has really helped with the added strength and streatching. Thanks for the video, keep up the good work!
Thank you Dr Bri....you hv helped me this morning in a monumental way. I had surgery, gastric regression, heel spur removal and 4 plastic pcs put in my heel. So kind of you...ty!
Your energy is so infectious !! So grateful your service to the community !!! You are truly an AMAZING DOCTOR Thank you Dr , Bri !!!!!!! You found your calling !! Christina
These are excellent movements, thank you for this. I have been a yoga teacher for years and have always incorporated these movements into my classes, it’s good to see a focus on these important motions. One thing I would like to suggest is that, during the side to side ankle movements, starting at 6:00 (inversion/eversion), that you keep the toes from lifting. Subtly different but really helps focus the muscular activity on the target muscles.
Absolutely, your suggestion adds a valuable refinement to the movement, ensuring a more targeted engagement of the muscles. Keeping the toes grounded during inversion/eversion can enhance the effectiveness of the exercise. It's wonderful that you've been incorporating these movements into your yoga classes, and your insight enriches the practice. Thank you for sharing your expertise! ~Vibrant Support
Oh, thank you. I've been wearing barefoot shoes for 5 months now and have been noticing how strong my feet are getting, and those exercises felt really nice. 💕
Great explanation, thank you! As an avid yoga practitioner whose endured much pelvic floor challenges due to IBS and also has flat feet, I’ve been aware of the connection of bloatedess in my pelvis and how my knees and feet feel. Years ago I was unhappy when a podiatrist I saw invalidated my observations and questions about how my pelvis impacts me feet.
Loved this! I have been trying to take better care of my feet so this was just what I needed. I like the variety of movements. They looked easy but surprisingly I did feel each of them in the different areas that you mentioned. I am seeing a lot more mention of the facia. It is so incredible and mysterious :) Thanks Dr. Bri. You are a marvel!
Other foot strengthening videos I've seen only show you the exercises once and then tell you how many reps you should do, so I'm very happy I found this video, it was very helpful! The hardest/most awkward movement was lifting the balls of my feet -or trying to 😅 Hopefully I'll see some improvements soon!
I really really love working with you on my pelvic floor issues that only started 3 months ago. I'm lazy with it and am trying my best ! So glad I found these videos.
This is what I’ve been wanting for my arthritis in cartilages in top of feet which is creating dysfunction in all my body. Thank You for turning up today🙏 omg this is amazing and so beautifully delivered. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I have so much pain in both my big toes. I will definitely be trying these exercises especially as I seem to need to use the restroom more frequently than before. Thank you for this video and the explanations .
I hear you - toe pain and frequent bathroom trips can improve with these gentle exercises that help restore your body's natural balance. Having said that, make sure to talk to your local pelvic floor PT for individualized guidance. ~ Vibrant Support
This is perfect! I had 2 reconstructive ankle surgeries within 9mos of each other and now a dysfunctional pelvic floor (it doesn't know how to relax 😵💫), so this routine couldn't have been more tailor made. ~thank you~
Finally! Searched, tried 100s of videos. Have fascia 'nest' left hip which has drawn my leg up making it short. MDs only say replace hip & don't acknowledge fascia AT ALL.. had to figure out on my. Your video is simple to do, standing 'anywhere' in quick time. tight
This is BLOWING MY MIND because nobody understands when I tell them that when I felt something snap in my perineum, my FEET also began to hurt. Also very little sensation in my testicles and penis. I have muscle atrophy in my feet as well, more on the right side. I have discovered just recently that strengthening the pelvic floor is not the solution for me at this time. Relaxing through deep breathing seems to be helping. You are the first person, and I’ve watched many videos, , who has made a connection between the feet and the pelvic floor.
I’m so glad this information resonates with you - the connection between the pelvic floor and feet is indeed fascinating and often overlooked, and it's fantastic that you've discovered relaxation techniques are helping; keep listening to your body and exploring gentle approaches to healing, as everyone's journey is unique. 💖🌿👣
I hear you. I have many issues with my pelvic floor, including prolapse. The more i feel my bladder falling down, the more sick i feel in my liver. My skin turns yellow and metal taste in my mouth. As soon my bladder moves back in the right position, is like a miracle, my liver feels good again. Doctors have never believed me. They separate everything in the body. Also when i've tried to do exercises like kegels it makes things much worse. I've tried many exercises and nothing works. For me also feels like the right approach is to do breathing exercises and anything that relaxes my pelvic floor. Doctors think that if your organs are falling out, you need to do kegels. It doesnt apply for evryone. (mind my English. My first language is Spanish)
Internal rotation of my feet was difficult, and I can now see the connection between that and my tight hips/pelvic floor. I notice I tend towards the external rotation. Excited to know that the last exercise could really help me balance this out!
That's great to hear, Christy! Recognizing the connection between the internal rotation of your feet and your tight hips/pelvic floor is an important step towards addressing any imbalances. It's fascinating how our body's alignment and movement patterns can be interconnected.
Excellent tooo gooood for me because I had spinal cord surgery five years back and find this is good work out for me to keep the foot proper to walk. Thanks a lot.🙏👌
Those heel lifts were SO difficult and challenging. Who knew those were complicated. This workout is a keeper as my shins and hips,along with pelvic floor are challenged with postmenopause.
Excellent! I was just doing other exercises and was thinking that I do my exercises bare foot and wondered if that perhaps I shouldn't, then you popped up! I'm into keeping the pelvic floor healthy, I've also had several different foot issues. So thank you.😊
Thank you so much for all you do! I got my first pelvic floor education when I got my Pre and Postnatal training back in 2007. ( I am a trainer) When I got asked to create a Pelvic Floor class, I was shocked about how little new information about this subject was out there, until I found you and your channel. The USA is just so sadly behind the times when it comes to pelvic floor health and women's health.
Your demonstrations are so unique and intricate ! I appreciate your videos sooo much. I think these feet exercises can activate the earth star chakra which is located under our feet. It is our Soul chakra💗💛💗

Do you anything for the heal of your foot ? Sometimes I use a golf ball by rolling on it.

It's so interesting that when we were kids, we did all these movements for fun. The wisdom we are born with!
It is so good to reconnect with our inner wisdom !!

Where have you been my entire life? This was the best ever thank you!
Glad you loved this workout as much as I do !!
LOVE this!! I used to work for a podiatrist & always told patients their general health rested on the health of their feet!!
FACT!
Love this! Everyone in our shoe wearing culture needs to do this.
Thank you! And I agree!

Thank you Dr. Bri! The importance of your fascia is the mantra of my Pilates instructor. 🙂
Sounds like you have a great instructor :)
I have had foot and ankle issues ever since we moved to a house with all cement floors. Thank you for this video recognizing foot health!
Foot Health is such a forgotten topic!

I had 2 reconstructive ankle surgeries within 9mos of each other and now a dysfunctional pelvic floor (it doesn't know how to relax 😵💫), so this routine couldn't have been more tailor made. ~thank you~
Glad it helped!
This is great, Thanks.
Finally! Searched, tried 100s of videos. Have fascia 'nest' left hip which has drawn my leg up making it short. MDs only say replace hip & don't acknowledge fascia AT ALL.. had to figure out on my. Your video is simple to do, standing 'anywhere' in quick time. tight
Glad it helped!
This is BLOWING MY MIND because nobody understands when I tell them that when I felt something snap in my perineum, my FEET also began to hurt. Also very little sensation in my testicles and penis. I have muscle atrophy in my feet as well, more on the right side. I have discovered just recently that strengthening the pelvic floor is not the solution for me at this time. Relaxing through deep breathing seems to be helping. You are the first person, and I’ve watched many videos, , who has made a connection between the feet and the pelvic floor.
I’m so glad this information resonates with you - the connection between the pelvic floor and feet is indeed fascinating and often overlooked, and it's fantastic that you've discovered relaxation techniques are helping; keep listening to your body and exploring gentle approaches to healing, as everyone's journey is unique. 💖🌿👣
@@vibrantpelvichealth Thank you.😊
I hear you. I have many issues with my pelvic floor, including prolapse. The more i feel my bladder falling down, the more sick i feel in my liver. My skin turns yellow and metal taste in my mouth. As soon my bladder moves back in the right position, is like a miracle, my liver feels good again. Doctors have never believed me. They separate everything in the body. Also when i've tried to do exercises like kegels it makes things much worse. I've tried many exercises and nothing works. For me also feels like the right approach is to do breathing exercises and anything that relaxes my pelvic floor. Doctors think that if your organs are falling out, you need to do kegels. It doesnt apply for evryone. (mind my English. My first language is Spanish)
@@yasnitac82 it’s all connected!

Thank you so much for this 🥺 God bless you. It might save my body. lol Now I have to use the restroom..
Have never done these before. Very interesting. Will continue and see how my body progresses. Im sure my body will thank me. Thank You.
Best of luck!
Internal rotation of my feet was difficult, and I can now see the connection between that and my tight hips/pelvic floor. I notice I tend towards the external rotation. Excited to know that the last exercise could really help me balance this out!
That's great to hear, Christy! Recognizing the connection between the internal rotation of your feet and your tight hips/pelvic floor is an important step towards addressing any imbalances. It's fascinating how our body's alignment and movement patterns can be interconnected.
Great workout and easy to do. Thank you.
Glad you liked it!

Those heel lifts were SO difficult and challenging. Who knew those were complicated. This workout is a keeper as my shins and hips,along with pelvic floor are challenged with postmenopause.
It's great you're finding the workout challenging and beneficial for your postmenopausal body - keep up the good work!
This is fabulous. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was the best foot and ankle workout I have done. Thank you!
You're so welcome!
Thank you, very helpful, Anita
Thank you very much! I’m very grateful
Glad it helped!
Excellent! I was just doing other exercises and was thinking that I do my exercises bare foot and wondered if that perhaps I shouldn't, then you popped up! I'm into keeping the pelvic floor healthy, I've also had several different foot issues. So thank you.😊
Glad this video is helpful !
Thank you so much for all you do! I got my first pelvic floor education when I got my Pre and Postnatal training back in 2007. ( I am a trainer) When I got asked to create a Pelvic Floor class, I was shocked about how little new information about this subject was out there, until I found you and your channel. The USA is just so sadly behind the times when it comes to pelvic floor health and women's health.
I am glad you found my channel !!
Thank you 🙏🏼
You are Awesome 👏🏼
You are!
You’re a beautiful person honestly and very sweet Dr🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you dearly 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
Awww thank you for your sweet words !!
Your demonstrations are so unique and intricate ! I appreciate your videos sooo much. I think these feet exercises can activate the earth star chakra which is located under our feet. It is our Soul chakra💗💛💗
Glad you like them!
So interesting! My husband and I just watched a documentary on grounding (earthing) last night! We need to take better care of our feet!
That is awesome!
This video is super helpful! Much needed, thank you much. ❤🙏
