The ABCs of a Healthy Pelvic Floor

Unlocking the secrets to a strong and happy pelvic floor is more straightforward than you might think. Let's dive into the essentials without any unnecessary jargon.

Key Points:

1. Balance, Not Tension: The key to pelvic floor health is balance, not excessive tension. Forget the misconception that a constantly tense pelvic floor is the goal – it can lead to weakness and discomfort.

2. Breathe In, Breathe Out: Breathing isn't just for your lungs; it's a crucial player in pelvic floor health. Coordinate your pelvic floor movements with your breath. Soften and open on inhalation, and contract on exhalation. It's a simple but effective strategy.

3. Strength from Within: Support your pelvic floor with a solid foundation – strong hip and abdominal muscles. These muscle groups are like the pillars that keep everything in place. Strengthen them, and you'll contribute to a more robust pelvic floor.
