I recently had someone in my DMs asking if it was possible for your pelvic floor to be TOO tight. And YES, 100%!

In fact I actually sat down with Jenny McCoy from Prevention to talk about the importance of knowing the difference and making sure youโ€™re getting what you need.

Comment NEWSLETTER and I'll send my top leak prevention tips straight to your inbox ๐Ÿ’Œ

If you cross your legs, clench, or brace for a poetntial leak every time a sneeze is comingโ€ฆ this one's for you ๐Ÿซฃ Leaking when you cough, sneeze, laugh, or jump has a name: Stress urinary incontinence.

This is SO common, but its also something that doesnt get better on it own and can get mush worse. When you cough or sneeze, the pressure in your abdomen spikes and your pelvic floor has to contract quickly to hold everything in. If those muscles are weak, overly tense, or a little behind on timing, leaks happen.

A few things I want you to know:
๐Ÿ”น This isn't only a postpartum thing. It shows up in female athletes, perimenopause, heavy lifting, chronic coughing, and even constipation.
๐Ÿ”น Weakness isn't always the cause. A pelvic floor that's too tight can't contract well either.
๐Ÿ”น Try "the knack." Gently lift and squeeze your pelvic floor right before you cough or sneeze.
๐Ÿ”น Pads are helpful, but you need a pelvic floor training plan too.

Send this to the friend who p*es a little every time you make them laugh ๐Ÿ˜‚ And don't forget to comment NEWSLETTER so October's issue lands in your inbox ๐Ÿ’Œ

If you've ever felt like your body can't make up its mind lately... you're not crazy, you're not dramatic, and you are SO not alone ๐Ÿซ 

Here's what's happening. In perimenopause, your hormones aren't just slowly declining. Estrogen and progesterone spike and crash unpredictably, which is why you can be burning up at lunch and freezing by dinner, or exhausted at 7pm and staring at the ceiling at 3am
As a pelvic floor PT, I want you to know the pelvic floor side of this too. Estrogen helps keep the tissues of your va**na and urethra healthy and supported. When it drops, that can mean:

๐Ÿ’ง leaking when you sneeze, laugh, or jump
๐ŸŒต dryness (and s*x that suddenly feels uncomfortable)
๐Ÿšฝ needing to p*e more often, or RIGHT NOW

These symptoms are common, but common doesn't mean you have to just live with them. Your pelvic floor responds to strength and movement at every age, including this one ๐Ÿ™Œ

If you're ready to feel more in control of your body during this season, the V-Hive has pelvic floor and strength workouts you can do from home!! Comment VHIVE for your free 7 day trial ๐Ÿฉท

The first 12 hours postpartum are a lot, and nobody hands you a manual for your pelvic floor. ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

As a pelvic floor PT, this is EXACTLY what I want every postpartum person to know before they leave the hospital, not weeks later when something already feels off.

You're allowed to ask for help with every single part of this. Peeing, pooping, pain, movement, all of it. โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน

Is tampon insertion painful for you? Or pelvic exams? Or s*x? Youโ€™re not alone and this can be a sign somethingโ€™s up with your pelvic floor muscles.

A tight or overactive pelvic floor can make insertion painful, uncomfortable, or feel impossible. Save this post and try these moves!

What else do you want to know about your pelvic floor and periods? Leave it in the comments.

In a hands and knees position, extend one leg out to the side, pressing through the outer edge of that foot. Rock your hips back toward the ground keeping your spine straight.

Do this for 10 deep breaths. Then switch sides.

Sit with right leg rotated out in front of you at a 90 degree angle, and left leg rotated behind you at 90 degrees. Lean over the right shin. You should feel a stretch in your right hip.

You can modify this by placing a folded towel or blanket under your right sit bone.

Hold for 5-10 deep breaths. Come back to starting position and switch sides.

Stand with feet wider than hips width apart with toes pointed out. Squat all the way down until your bottom is close to the ground and knees point out.

Raise your heels or place a block under your bum. You can also lean back against a wall for added support.

Breathe for 10 deep breaths, or however long feels good to you.

In case you're wondering what each face meant... here's the translation from a pelvic floor PT ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿ˜ณ 30โ€“34: Surprised, not judging! It's on the early side, so if you're noticing symptoms before 40, it's worth looping in your provider to see what's going on.
๐Ÿ™‚ 35โ€“39: Yep, it can start this early. A lot of people brush off the first signs (sleep changes, cycle shifts, random new leaking) because they think they're "too young."
๐Ÿ‘‰ 40โ€“45: This is when it starts for so many of you. Perimenopause can last 4โ€“10 years before your final period, so this is often the beginning of the ride.
๐Ÿ˜ 46โ€“49: Prime perimenopause territory. This is when symptoms tend to peak... including the pelvic floor ones nobody warns you about (urgency, leaking, pain with s*x).
๐Ÿคจ 50โ€“55: Menopause is officially 12 months without a period, and the average age is around 51. So if you're here and still cycling, you're likely in the home stretch.
๐Ÿซถ 56โ€“60: You're likely post-menopause, but that doesn't mean your pelvic floor symptoms have to stick around. Lower estrogen keeps affecting pelvic floor tissue after menopause, and it's never too late to work on it.

Everyone's timeline is different, so none of these ages are "wrong." But if your pelvic floor is acting up in any of these seasons, you don't have to just live with it ๐Ÿ™Œ
