Yes, Foot Health Can Impact Your Sex Life and Pelvic Floor

Black says, “The alignment of your feet has a direct impact on the function or dysfunction of your pelvis. In conclusion, from our feet on up, we need to open and loosen fascia and muscles to keep our pelvic area free for … whatever you please in the bedroom.” With the help of two realignment exercises and releasing fascia in your feet (see videos below), you’ll be on the path to a sexy night full of flirty footsie foreplay.

Move 1: Slant Board – Heels Up
How to: Stand on the slant board on one foot with your heel on the top and toes on the bottom of the decline. Make sure your foot is pointing straight ahead and the heel is aligned between the second and third toe. Press your toes into the board, lengthen through the top of your head ensuring that your lower abs are drawn in towards your spine and your lower back is relaxed. Keeping your alignment, slowly lower your body a few inches towards the floor bending at the knee. You will be pressing your toes into the board and keeping your torso tall and lifted and looking straight ahead.

Move 2: Slant Board – Sideways
How to: Stand on the slant board on one foot with your foot and arch parallel to the decline. Make sure your foot is pointing straight ahead and the heel is aligned between the second and third toe. Press your toes into the board so that your arch lifts up and your knee is aligned over the second toe. Lengthen through the top of your head, ensuring that your lower abs are drawn in toward your spine and your lower back is relaxed. Keeping your alignment, slowly lower your body a few inches toward the floor, bending at the knee. You will be pressing your toes into the board and keeping your torso tall and lifted and looking straight ahead. It can be difficult to keep the toe tracking over the second toe as you lift and lower. Using your toes to ensure your arch is lifting and doing very small knee bends can help with this. Keep your torso tall and look straight ahead.

Note: The greater the incline, the more difficult the exercises will be. Start with the lowest incline and work your way up, ensuring proper alignment can be achieved with the incline you are using. Many people can do a slightly higher incline for Move 1 than they can for Move 2. You can also use another person or stable object to help you balance if standing on one foot is difficult. The goal is to work away from needing extra support for stability. I prefer a slant board; however, if you do not have one, you can also make your own makeshift one at home. Using a slant board gives you greater control over the incline and is a great piece of equipment to have.
