How chronic tension in your body and life may 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.

Adding these simple, effective movements into your life will help establish more healthy movement patterns benefiting your pelvic floor and more...
