If you’re constantly stretching your hips but they still feel tight, this episode is for you. So many moms tell me they stretch before every class, during workouts, and even at home yet the stiffness never seems to go away.

The truth? Tight hips don’t always mean you need more stretching.

In this episode, I’ll break down why your hips might feel tight even after endless stretches, what’s really driving that tension, and what you can do instead. You’ll learn how issues like core coordination, glutes, and pelvis are often the hidden culprits behind stubborn hip tightness.

Here are some exercises:

Pelvis exercise

Hip Mobility Drill

Glute Exercise

Have you ever left a chiropractor’s office feeling great only for the pain to return just a few days later? You’re not alone.

In this episode, Dr. Ar’neka unpacks the flaws in the traditional chiropractic model and why it often fails to create lasting results.

You’ll hear why so many patients end up stuck in the cycle of adjustments without real progress and what you should be looking for instead. From fear-based tactics and dependency to the complete lack of movement or education, this model is designed to keep you coming back, not to set you free.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why adjustments without education or exercises leave you dependent on your provider
• How fear-based X-ray tactics scare patients into years of treatment without real answers
• Why you need autonomy and tools to manage flare-ups on your own
• The truth about why movement not just lying on a table is the missing piece for real healing
• How Dr. Ar’neka built a model that empowers patients through assessments, movement, and long-term strategies

Temporary relief isn’t enough. Real care should empower you, teach you, and get you moving again not keep you dependent on endless appointments.

If your low back always feels tight like no matter how much you stretch, it just won’t let go you’re not alone. For many moms, that nagging stiffness shows up after long days, workouts, or even just trying to get comfortable at night.

In this episode, Dr. Ar’neka shares three powerful strategies to move beyond quick fixes and finally give your back the support it needs. You’ll learn how to release tension, build real stability, and get lasting relief without relying on endless stretches.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why shallow, chest-based breathing keeps your back tight and how 360° breathing creates stability and release.
• How weak or underactive glutes force your low back to work overtime (and simple movements to wake them up).
• Why tight hip flexors overload your spine and the best way to unlock them with smart mobility work.

If you’ve been told your leaking or pelvic floor issues are all about a “weak core,” you might be missing two critical pieces of the puzzle: your hips and your feet.

In this episode, Dr. Ar’neka breaks down why tight hips and stiff feet can completely change the way forces travel through your body and why your pelvic floor often ends up taking the brunt of it. From shock absorption in the hips to spring-like support in the feet, these areas are more connected to your pelvic floor health than most people realize.

You’ll learn:

• Why “just strengthening your core” isn’t enough for pelvic floor support
• How limited hip mobility and stiff feet create more stress for your back, core, and pelvic floor
• A simple self-check to see if your hips and feet are moving well
• The key difference between stretching and mobility work—and why your body needs the latter
• Everyday movement examples (walking, lifting, rebounding) where hips and feet play a bigger role than you think

Your pelvic floor doesn’t work in isolation it’s part of a system. If your hips and feet aren’t doing their job, your pelvic floor will always be overloaded.

If you’ve been foam rolling, stretching, or getting adjusted but your back pain keeps coming back you’re not alone. In this episode, Dr. Ar’neka breaks down why chasing the pain doesn’t work and why your back is often the symptom, not the cause. You’ll learn the hidden drivers of recurring low back pain and the smarter way to build lasting relief.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why back pain usually isn’t coming from the back itself
• The three most common hidden causes:
  • Core coordination problems (bracing vs. true stability)
  • Stiff hips that force your back to move too much
  • Pelvic instability that makes your back overcompensate
• Why adjustments, massages, and stretches only give short-term relief
• How to check if your hips and core are actually supporting your back during movement
• A new framework: think movement patterns, not muscles

If you’ve been told to “just do Kegels” but you’re still leaking when you run, jump, or sneeze this episode will change everything.

The truth is, Kegels alone aren’t the magic fix you’ve been promised. You can have a strong pelvic floor and still leak if it’s tight, uncoordinated, or overworked.

In this episode, we break down why traditional Kegel-only approaches fall short and reveal the missing links you need for real, lasting change breath and pressure management, hip and core connection, and the ability to fully relax as well as contract.

You’ll learn how to integrate your breath, pelvic floor, and core into everyday movement, plus how building hip and glute strength can take pressure off your pelvic floor so you can move with confidence again.

If you’re tired of avoiding workouts, worrying about accidents, or feeling like this is “just part of getting older,” it’s time to move smarter not stop moving.
