The Connection Between Foot and Pelvic Floor Problems

Foot and pelvic floor issues are prevalent in our modern population. Approximately 30-40% of people experience serious foot problems as they age, and one in three people experience pelvic floor issues. Both our feet and our pelvic floors are ground zero areas for movement-related issues. The pelvic floor supports our torso and helps stabilize our bodies as we move. When our feet are not functioning properly, it can impact the health and function of our pelvic floors.
