Could tension in your body and life be impacting your pelvic wellbeing?
HAVE YOU BEEN DOING YOUR SQUEZES, BUT NOT SEEING ANY BENEFIT?If you've been focussing on adding squeezes to your exercise regime but are finding that they aren't working for you, it may be because your pelvic muscles are already holding tension.
Imagine that your shoulder muscles are tight (or perhaps you don't need to image), what would you do to help that? Most people would say to relax and release those muscles. Perhaps looking at wider lifestyle stuff that may be adding to the root causes of tension in your body. Or starting to look at what other movements might be adding to tension, perhaps you have long hours driving, at a desk or other repetitive tasks that could be afftecting your shoulders.
It's the exact same approach that I can help you find with your pelvic muscles.
Switching to using whole body movement, embodied awareness and working with your breath can help you understand your body better and learn how to support functional movement in everyday living. Adding these simple, effective movements into your life will help establish more healthy movement patterns benefiting your pelvic floor and more...
THIS IS FOR YOU IF:

• You're past the very early-postpartum stage (if you have birthed)
You might be:

give me a wave if you have any of the following:
□ knee pain □ lower back pain □ jaw tension □ foot or ankle pain
This is not for you if:
• You are looking for a quick fix - this will take some time and commitment, but it's very simple and well worth it.
• You aren't willing to try doing some things differently (e.g. switching up how you sit)
