Pelvic Floor 101
Dec 04, 2023
You know it all comes down to the pelvic floor, right?
Let’s just get real for a sec…
(Give yourself 1 point for every YES answer.)
Have you ever leaked pee in pregnancy, or since having a baby?
(Yes = 1; No = 0)
Is/was sex ever painful for you post-baby?
(Yes = 1; No = 0)
Do you have stubborn low back pain?
(Yes = 1; No = 0)
Do you have a “mom pooch?”
(Yes = 1; No = 0)
Now, add up your points.
If you have 1 POINT or more (yes, 1 measly point, so even one single YES), you need to spend some time with your core and pelvic floor.
Let's start with this: Inhale, release. Exhale, contract.
Imagine you're trying to lift a blueberry off the floor using your pelvic floor muscles. It's a slow, controlled lift, not a quick tight squeeze.
AND IT'S ALL ABOUT THE INHALE.
