✨ Quick and easy pelvic floor menu! ✨

Pick one option a day to focus on! And yea, caring for you pelvic floor health can be as easy as 30 seconds a day!

(I mean the more the merrier but this is an easy starting pointing for pelvic floor health!)

Which one did you pick?! Comment below 👇🏼

The one I mention most to my mamas- unclench your glutes! Shaken them out, let them go, relax them! You’ll thank me! 😉

Three things postpartum rehab training has taught me, even though I am not postpartum (yet 🤞🏼)

1. Drawing your belly button to your spine is not the most efficient or effective way of activating your core.

2. Bracing your core (pretend you're lying on the ground and your little one is about to jump on your stomach) should NOT be a force outward of the stomach, it should be a flattening of the abdominal muscles motion.

3. Constantly tightening my abs, to look a certain way, can actually cause dysfunction core and pelvic floor- hence my two hernias…

Don’t make these common mistakes!

1. Holding your breath when trying to perform a kegel. A Kegel should be incorporated with your breathing. Also depending on your breathing pattern, holding your breath could cause pressure downward, affect Kegel strength and pelvic floor function.

2. Not relaxing the Kegel contraction fully. This can lead to dysfunction of the pelvic floor! Being able to fully relax is just as important because being about to contract your pelvic floor.

3. Just squeezing your pelvic floor. A proper Kegel is not just a squeezing motion. A proper Kegel is a squeeze and lift motion together. I use the a**logy of an elevator with my patients. Close the elevator doors “squeeze” and lift the elevator up to a certain level (lifting motion with the pelvic floor).

4. Squeezing your glutes when performing a Kegel. This can occur when your pelvic floor is showing signs of weakness. It needs to recruit your glutes to help with firing/strength. This movement pattern over time can lead to chronically tight glutes and pelvic floor dysfunction.

5. Squeezing just from the a**s. A good Kegel should involve the muscles around the vaginal ca**l and a**l ca**l. Not just the a**l ca**l. You should be pretending to stop yourself from peeing mid stream and pretend you’re holding in gas.

Hope this helps! Save for later!
