🫁 Breath holding under a squat

✨Breath holding can lead to increased intra-abdominal pressure onto the pelvic floor leading to weakness.

🎈Aggressive Crunches

✨Its not the crunches that are the problem, its the poor management of pressure

🪩 Clenching the pelvic floor with Jumping Jacks

✨Our pelvic floor pistons with the diaphragm to maintain full mobility. Clenching the pelvic floor with jumping jacks doesn’t allow the pelvic floor to function the way it should as a system.

🍑 Clenching glutes while walking

✨we see you …. imagine holding a balloon and squeezing the back of the balloon , all pressure goes to the front right? Same concept when squeezing the glutes. This creates poor pressure management and tension in the back side of the pelvic floor and places excess pressure on the bladder.

Your symptoms are NOT something you have to “push through.”

Pelvic floor physical therapy can help you train smarter!

🫁 Holding your breath: holding your breath, creates increased pressure on your pelvic floor and can contribute to pelvic floor weakness.

🚽 Chronic Straining: training can indicate that your pelvic floor is overactive, the Pelvic Floor needs to be able to relax and have full mobility to allow you to p*e and poo.

🪑Sitting all day: this can lead to Pelvic Floor over activity due to inability to get full pelvic floor excursion with breathing.

💪 Ab gripping: gripping your abs, can create facial tension affecting the tension of your pelvic floor.

🦷 Stress Clenching: clenching your jaw, for example, can mirror the tension of your pelvic floor. We have facial tension connecting from our jaw all the way down to the pelvic floor.

🤪 Toxic people in your life: Yes it’s true! all jokes aside, if we are surrounded with external stressors, our pelvic floor can contract as a protective mechanism and become overactive.

☕️ JIC Peeing: this can create bad habits, causing your bladder to become bossy and signal you sooner than when it needs to.

🍑 Glute Clenching: this can create tension in the backside of the Pelvic Floor, causing poor excursion of the pelvic floor

Your “weak core” may not actually be weak 👀

Sometimes the issue isn’t strength — it’s coordination, breathing, pressure management, and muscle timing.

Core “loafing” can happen when:
🥖 Pain or injury changes muscle activation
🥖Prolonged sitting decreases stability muscle endurance
🥖Stress creates gripping or tension patterns
🥖Pregnancy/postpartum changes pressure systems
🥖Poor breathing mechanics affect the diaphragm + pelvic floor connection

Your core is more than just abs 💡

It’s a team made up of the:
✨ Diaphragm
✨ Deep abdominals 
✨ Pelvic floor
✨ Back stabilizers

When one area stops contributing efficiently, other muscles compensate — often leading to back pain, pelvic pain, tight hips, leaking, or feeling unstable.

The goal isn’t always to “brace harder.”

Sometimes the answer is better coordination, breathing, and movement patterns. 🙌

✨Men have pelvic floors too… and they matter more than you think.

Leaking when you laugh or lift?
Pain with intercourse?
Difficulty starting your stream?
Lingering testicular, groin, or low back pain?

These aren’t just “normal” or something you have to live with.

Your pelvic floor muscles support your bladder, bowel, and sexual function—and when they’re not working well, your whole system feels it.

The good news?
Pelvic floor physical therapy can help.

✔ Improve bladder control
✔ Reduce pain
✔ Enhance sexual function
✔ Restore confidence

It’s not just a women’s health issue. It’s a whole-body issue.
If something feels off, it’s worth addressing.

✨Male Postpartum is real (we just don’t talk about it)

✨Everyone checks on mom (rightfully so) … but what about dad?

✨Your partner just carried your beautiful bundle of joy for 9 months, labored endlessly, and now pressure is on to be super hero dad and get everything done.

✨New Dads go through a huge physical shift too:
- Lifting car seats, stroller, and babies on repeat
- Poor sleep = increased muscle tension
- More stress = holding tension in core and pelvic floor
- Less time to move, stretch, or recover

✨It can show up as:
- low back or hip pain
- Groin or testicular discomfort
- Core weakness and poor pressure management
- Even bladder symptoms

✨Your pelvic floor doesn’t just “turn off” just because you didn’t give birth

✨If you’re a new dad feeling tight, sore or just off - your body is adapting too.

✨You deserve support, recovery to be there for mom and baby.

✨Physical therapy is a great way to treat low back pain, hip tension and be used for injury prevention to keep your body in check.

✨Schedule a 10 minute discover call with the link in the bio or shoot us a text to find out if physical therapy is right for you. Your partner will thank you. 😊

✨The pesky pelvic floor can refer to other areas of the body such as the structures noted above.

✨This is because all of these structures converge into the same neurons in the spinal cord and the brain is misinterpreting the signal.

✨All of these structures share fascial connections as well which can also lead to referred pain in the above areas.

✨Curious if your pain is coming from the pelvic floor. Shoot us a text at 330-961-5000 to schedule a discovery call. 😊

✨What’s the foot got to do with the pelvic floor?

✨Strengthening the intrinsic foot muscles can greatly influence the pelvic floor muscles and supports the body from the bottom up in the following ways.

1. Foot stability:
✨When our feet collapse down (pronate) when we walk, that changes the mechanics up the chain and can affect the positioning of the pelvic floor leading to various symptoms.

2. Core Activation:
✨Improved foot activation leads to increased reflexive activation of our deep core thereby improving the “canister” to better manage pressure.

3.Improved Load Transfer:
✨When we intentionally strengthen our intrinsic foot muscles, this helps to improve our push off mechanics with walking thereby leading less compensation. Less compensation = less stress of pelvic floor

✨Don’t underestimate your foot. Walk with a purpose. Your pelvic floor will be taking notes. 🤓.
