Hey guys, so often we’ve been talking to you about women who have pcns dysfunction, especially women who have just given birth or had multiple kids who have gone through menopause, when we don’t talk a lot about is PCNS dysfunction in young female athletes. You know, female athletes are just as prone as pcns dysfunction as anyone else, especially because they’re going through hormonal changes. So we’re talking girls as young as nine all the way through 18 years old, any flux in hormones is going to be a crazy time for the female body, an increase or drop in estrogen and progesterone is usually what happens as you go through your whole menstrual cycle. And that hormone fluctuation affects the tonal stability of muscles. So when your daughters are clumsy, or that all of a sudden they don’t know how their arms and their feet work, that’s probably a hormonal influx. And when that happens, they’re way more likely to tear ligaments, especially in their knees and ankles than than other people. Dancers, young female dancers are hyper mobile, I’m not hyper mobile. But if your daughter can touch her thumb to her wrist or she can just bend over and touch the floor or sticker leg all the way up overhead while sitting at the dinner table. She’s probably hyper mobile and girls that are hyper mobile are also more likely to tear things because they lack that tension and connective tissue and that muscular stability to control their body when decelerating motion most of the time when girls tear joints, excuse me, when nature ligaments or tendons it’s when they’re trying to decelerate motion. So slowing down essentially, the body can’t handle that something’s going to give and unfortunately, usually it’s a neat. Girls, especially young girls don’t always know what normal is they don’t know that pee when they get hit or when they jump or when they land that ping. That isn’t normal for them. They don’t know if pain and their pelvic floor isn’t normal for them. So it’s really important to talk to your daughters about these types of things, especially as they age or they’re going through puberty, talk to them about a pcns and talk to them about how they’re feeling as they go through these things.
