Do you have pelvic floor tension?
You might notice symptoms like:
- Pelvic pain, pressure, or heaviness
- Pain with in*******se or gyno exams
- Difficulty fully emptying your bladder or bowels
- Urinary urgency or frequency
- Low back, hip, tailbone, or groin pain
- Feeling like you’re always “clenching” or unable to relax your glute or hip muscles
If any of these sound like you, try out this gentle flow demonstrated by our Women’s Health clinic director, Shelby, that can help decrease stress, reduce muscle tension, and encourage better coordination between your diaphragm, core, and pelvic floor:
🌿 360° Breathing – Encourages diaphragmatic expansion and helps the pelvic floor lengthen and relax with each breath.
🌿 Butterfly Stretch – Opens the hips and inner thighs.
🌿 Figure 4 Stretch – Targets the piriformis and deep hip rotators, areas that can contribute to pelvic floor tension.
🌿 Happy Baby – Gently stretches the pelvic floor, hips, and inner thighs while encouraging relaxation.
🌿 Child’s Pose with Side Reaches – Combines pelvic floor downtraining with gentle stretching through the back and sides of the body.
🌿 Cat-Cow with Wag the Tail – Improves spinal and pelvic mobility while releasing tension through the low back, hips, and pelvic region.
Every body is different, and pelvic floor tension can have many causes. If you’re experiencing symptoms, contact our office to schedule an evaluation with Shelby, our pelvic health therapist, to create an individualized treatment plan and start feeling like yourself again!
