736. Wednesday Q&A: Stuck Around Shoulder and Thoracic, Random Fact About the Body, Pelvic Floor Muscles

Welcome to Wednesday Q&A, where you ask questions and we answer them!

 

In this Wednesday Q&A, we answer your questions about the challenges of finding trigger points during myofascial release, sharing a favorite body fact, and discuss cues for helping engage your pelvic floor muscles.

 

Your questions:

• I use a massage ball for myofascial release. Recently I was feeling stuck around my shoulder and thoracic area. Sometimes I can’t find the exact trigger point as the time when I started with the massage ball. I wonder if there is any reason for that. 
• What is your favorite random fact about the body?
• A student of mine is asking how she can feel her pelvic floor muscles. We’ve talked about Triple S, finding the diamond, and 360 breathing. I’m curious what cues other teachers use for students who want to “feel their PF muscles engage.”
