Be kind to your behind with this self massage practice that helps you touch and awaken the basement of your baby carriage, your gluteal muscles and the famous SI joint.
Your gluteal muscles are several layers thick and arranged in a fan-like shape around your pelvis. This shape enables the glutes to anchor to the pelvis to initiate movements like sitting, standing, walking, running and squatting.
In this sequence you will use the Coregeous ball to slide and glide a gentle rolling pressure from one hip to the other taking time to spread and mobilize all the tissues around and on top of the SI joint. This can provide a great reprieve from pain and stiffness in the lower back that is so common with pregnancy. You may find that gentle pressure is enough to stimulate reactivity in the buttocks and gain even more power for pushing, squatting and standing.
Next, you get to apply the Yoga Tune Up® therapy balls for a deep tissue massage gathering layer by layer all the glutes that feed right into the hip joint.
With both therapy ball applications you will learn how working on yourself a little bit at a time in the comfort and privacy of your home can go a long way to reduce pain and increase mobility for your pregnancy and beyond.
