The Resilient Body with Dr. Ar'neka
Ep. 159 Why Your Hips & Feet Could Be the Missing Link in Your Leaking
If you’ve been told your leaking or pelvic floor issues are all about a “weak core,” you might be missing two critical pieces of the puzzle: your hips and your feet.
In this episode, Dr. Ar’neka breaks down why tight hips and stiff feet can completely change the way forces travel through your body and why your pelvic floor often ends up taking the brunt of it. From shock absorption in the hips to spring-like support in the feet, these areas are more connected to your pelvic floor health than most people realize.
You’ll learn:
- Why “just strengthening your core” isn’t enough for pelvic floor support
- How limited hip mobility and stiff feet create more stress for your back, core, and pelvic floor
- A simple self-check to see if your hips and feet are moving well
- The key difference between stretching and mobility work—and why your body needs the latter
- Everyday movement examples (walking, lifting, rebounding) where hips and feet play a bigger role than you think
Your pelvic floor doesn’t work in isolation it’s part of a system. If your hips and feet aren’t doing their job, your pelvic floor will always be overloaded.
