Thank you a million times over for mentioning that the side that doesn't hurt could be the issue! I was astonished to find that the non-painful side was incredibly tight, while the painful side actually moved fairly freely. Excellent video, new subscriber!
I had more thoughts and possible theories around my own body puzzle while watching this. I used to suffer a lot with back pain, foot pain. I was molested as a child. I was overweight as a child and was diagnosed by a nurse in school with scolosis. I now teach yoga and bellydance and have for several years now. The pain is generally gone. However ive realized that my lower core in the front of my body is not very strong, and its seems like it just started firing, and im 36 years old. I like ur pelvic instability series because i have also suspected something is off about my right hip, as a dancer i notice it. So these videos i am so grateful for. I feel like these videos are giving me more clarity around all this. Thank you Elisha, i am grateful for your videos.
You're welcome! Clarity is so important. Thank you for sharing. I am so relieved that it is becoming more and more common to talk openly about the connections between trauma and pain. I was sexually violated in a pretty insidious manner by a 30 year old neighbor starting when I was just 13, and I have no doubt it is in large part due to that experience that my pelvic floor and deep core muscles became inhibited as a result of dissociating from that part of my body.
That sounds like that would be very traumatizing. I'm sad that you went through that. But I am graetful that despite that traumatizing event you are encouraging others to speak their truth and give us a place to do that to help bodies, minds, and spirits. It's such good work. Thank you.
This is very interesting and completely makes sense. I've been having instability in my SC joint, which obviously causes lots of nervey neck and shoulder pain. I will be trying this today once the sleeping baby (on me) wakes up. I see a lot of posture correlation to my symptoms as well...but with having a baby 6 months ago, of course deep core and pelvic stability is something I'm working on.
I have pinched nerve in my neck and shoulder neck pain and stiffness. We think its a disc we still have to take pictures. However, my therapist tells me I have a terrible uneven pelvis, dead glutes and he thinks this is the root cause. Makes sense to me now! Thank you!
Elisha thank you so much for this very informative video. I have all these issues and now things make so much more sense to me. Thank you for caring so much for people in pain and willing to share your knowledge to help us. May God bless you always! Dia
This makes perfect sense to me. I am having all of these issues going on and have been trying to figure it out myself AND knew they were all related somehow 🤦🏻♀️. Can’t wait to try everything! Love your videos because they WORK!
Hi Elisha, thanks for this video, it's very instructive. I have pelvic tilt (at least) which is corrected with custom insoles. They helped relieve pain in my foot and leg muscles, but I noticed I started to develop pain in the neck, very similar to what you described, after long walks or sports. It seems I'm onto something and will explore exercices to target deep lower core.
Glad to hear you had that "aha" moment! I'm guiding people through these exercises in a private course, because it really needs to be strategic. Sorry I don't have anything publicly yet!
I believe I have to start lower than the bicep but otherwise you have pegged me! I did the bicep this morning and now realize I have stuck fascia in the elbow. Haven't been able to do more than the bicep but am seeing the ball in the shoulder is going to be better than I've cream!! Thank you so much!
When i started doing fascial release in January, I found it important to use my fingers. This has given me more information and feedback and has helped me better understand what I'm doing. I also want to learn what it feels like on me so that I better understand what I feel on another (when I get to that point). Have you tried using your fingers to release yours and/or others neck muscles or any other muscles or fascia?
Do you have a video about thoracic, back rib pain?? I do have weak glutes and extremely tight scalenes. Strengthening for glutes just won’t fire. My scalenes have caused many issues unfortunately. I also had at the beginning front shoulder pain /impingement. Brachial plexus, acromium, levator scap and upper traps. You sound like me at the beginning. I also had chest pain from scalenes. I was chked out, but all was normal.. I had many issues , pelvic and surgeries and my core is weak. I do breath with my scalenes which I am trying to change. When I’ve tried to strengthen glutes, my ql causes issues on one side. I could go on, but you sound just like.
I have a weird neck pain and kind of stuck feeling on my right neck side it started in november with lower back pain for over a month than that stopped and i started getting weird short shooting stabbing pains in my head mostly on my right side of head random through out the day i went to see a chiropractor and was lefwith even more neckpain my neck on my right side is constantly painful and like something is stuck there and the left side is not painful but sometimes would also tense up a lot but not hurting
Ive been suffering from shoulder pain and hip pain all down my left side for years now. Had artriscopy on my hip with no success. So good to hear an alternative possible cause of my pain. shoulder and hip may well be linked? Shoulder is killing me and i cant do any sports due to my hip 😫
Hey Martin - yes, shoulder and hip can definitely be linked, especially if you do any type of activity requiring shoulder AND hip stability at the same time (like planks, yoga, weight training).
Guitar strings! I've got an orchestra! I think I have a fear that my other neck muscles are so weak they wont be able to hold my head up. So hard to let go so I'm might try it laying down.
Makes sense & realizing how much of an effing mess I am. Diastasis recti post pregnancy. Years of inactivity. Excess weight gain. Years of relying solely on arm strength as a swimmer. So.. from bottom up pelvic instability, poor core, lordosis, non firing glutes, scalenes and neck look like I'm a muscle builder and major shoulder, bicep and forearm pain. I'm screwed..
Where are you located? If you aren’t close to me, what type of practitioner would I look for locally that would be similar to you? Thanks so much in advance.
I'm located in Longmont, Colorado. I only work with a few 1-1 clients on a case by case basis these days, as most of my time is spent teaching. I can't answer your question about practitioners, because there are plenty of bad practitioners using great techniques, and many wonderful practitioners who don't have a lot of technical skill. It's really rare to find someone who is both a brilliant practitioner and highly skilled technically.
I do see myself in the bi-cep/neck scalene pain. I’m uncertain exactly what you mean by pelvic instability. I tend to think of pelvic instability as something specific, like hip pain. When you say your inner core is not firing, how do you know this? Is it an actually sensation or pain that you’re feeling? I need a little help in understanding that.
Hey Sharon. I define pelvic instability as: "real or perceived danger to your spine, one or more "core" muscles not firing, leading to compensations and pain." The real or perceived danger is your body and brain detecting a potential "threat" to the CNS (central nervous system, housed in the spinal cord), leading the brain to inhibit muscles in order to recruit them to stabilize the pelvis/spine, and finally leading to compensation and pain.
@@ElishaCeleste Thanks Elisha. I actually watched this video again with intensity as you describe my shoulder/neck/arm pain to a tee in tis video. I saw I took it to heart and thought maybe my core/pelvic muscles are faced with instability. So I'm working on some exercises to help with pelvic instability. Two days down and I'm feeling better about myself. I will keep working...thank you from the bottom of my heart for this information. :)
@MobilityMastery hello, which of your videos is about the mid-back pain with the shoulder blade, thoracic and pelvic instability that u mentioned in the video and in the description? Or has it been uploaded yet? I really believe this is what has been bothering me for over a year or so now. I think it’s mostly coming from the pelvis area causing major back, shoulder blade, and neck tightening issues. I’m confused because you have so many videos! Please provide link or update next time. Thanks!!
That’s because she isn’t editing, and cutting away constantly to seem perfect like most you tubers which becomes annoying. I commend her for speaking naturally and not trying to be perfect.
This video is godsent finally a clear explanation of all the pain, tightness, and dysfunction I've been experiencing
Dylan, glad you found this helpful!

One of my favorite instructors.
I am on the same boat with you on trying to figure all this out and thank you for these videos. It’s as if we learned ourselves to fix our own bodies
Im glad i came across your video., i have a shoulder pain it radiate down my spine....thank you for all this information....

Thank you! The neck release technique has been so helpful for relieving my eye pain, neck pain and facial numbness. ❤️❤️❤️
Awesome Luisa, glad to hear that!
Oh, eye pain is attached to the neck! Yes, makes total sense. Can't wait til I can get there!
This makes perfect sense to me. I am having all of these issues going on and have been trying to figure it out myself AND knew they were all related somehow 🤦🏻♀️. Can’t wait to try everything! Love your videos because they WORK!
Omg this is so mee!!! Thank you for your clear explanation
Promising title already
Long video and am going to watch it thank you
Yes making sense.
Yes There is a one more muscle that should be the part of this conversation especially about deep core is diaphragm.Any way it's really helpful.
Hi Elisha, thanks for this video, it's very instructive. I have pelvic tilt (at least) which is corrected with custom insoles.

thanks a lot,,makes sense ,,,will work on it am a cellist it seems to help
@23:30 have you considered comparing before and afters with mobility/range of motion?
Very helpful, thank you!
Thank you, kind ma'am :) you are a blessing
Great video. Gave me an "Aha! Moment". Do you have a video on exercises for core and glute strengthening?
Glad to hear you had that "aha" moment! I'm guiding people through these exercises in a private course, because it really needs to be strategic. Sorry I don't have anything publicly yet!
I have had balance and stability issues. I began working on the gluteus minimus (?) and holy cow!! My whole body moves so much better.
Amazing, thank you so much ❤
I believe I have to start lower than the bicep but otherwise you have pegged me! I did the bicep this morning and now realize I have stuck fascia in the elbow.
Haven't been able to do more than the bicep but am seeing the ball in the shoulder is going to be better than I've cream!! Thank you so much!
Thank you 😍😘
thank you!
Such a great explanation. Im watching this video 3 years after your posting, so missed the free training 😢 Are you planning to have one again soon?
I would love to buy your course on pelvic instability, but that is not available anymore?
When i started doing fascial release in January, I found it important to use my fingers. This has given me more information and feedback and has helped me better understand what I'm doing.

Very cool info, thank you
Do you still offer your pelvic l/deep core instability course? I don’t see it on your website.
help me please. Im in pain all the time
Did you ever figure out your middle back issues? also my glute isn't activate any other videos you recommend?
Ive been suffering from shoulder pain and hip pain all down my left side for years now. Had artriscopy on my hip with no success. So good to hear an alternative possible cause of my pain. shoulder and hip may well be linked? Shoulder is killing me and i cant do any sports due to my hip 😫

Hello! Is the course “Solving pelvic instability “still available?
It's not. I stopped teaching self fascia release in 2021 to focus on teaching Kinetix, the method I use in my private practice.
Makes sense & realizing how much of an effing mess I am. Diastasis recti post pregnancy. Years of inactivity. Excess weight gain. Years of relying solely on arm strength as a swimmer. So.. from bottom up pelvic instability, poor core, lordosis, non firing glutes, scalenes and neck look like I'm a muscle builder and major shoulder, bicep and forearm pain. I'm screwed..

did you ever find it?
Why do certain spots itch really deep and hurts.
Informative video. Can i refer you to a new directory for chiropractors to add your video? Can we also send you the link by email?
Your neck is beautiful
Lovely video but the nervous fast voice being a little breathless at times felt a little dysregulating 🥺
That’s because she isn’t editing, and cutting away constantly to seem perfect like most you tubers which becomes annoying. I commend her for speaking naturally and not trying to be perfect.
You sure it’s reason? What’s the cause she’s getting out of breath just by speaking 😱
