Strengthening Your Pelvic Floor
Working Your Pelvic Floor
The pelvic floor might not be something that you immediately think of when it comes to health and wellness, but that part of your body plays a big role!
The pelvic muscles stretch like a hammock from the tailbone to the pubic bone, and from one sitting bone to the other. Pelvic muscles support the bladder, uterus, and bowel organs. Additionally, the muscles of the pelvic floor work with the abdominal and back muscles to stabilize and support the spine.
The importance of the pelvic floor is often overlooked until it is not working correctly. While pelvic muscles are hidden from view, they can be consciously controlled and therefore trained.
If you’re interested in learning more about the importance of the pelvic floor, how to locate yours, and exercises to strengthen pelvic muscles, join me for my next webinar, Strengthening Your Pelvic Floor, on Wednesday, July 29th at 1:00 pm MDT.
Strengthen Those Muscles!
The organs that are supported by the pelvic floor control the release of urine, feces, and flatulence. These muscles are also important for sexual function in men and women.
Here are some reasons why the pelvic floor muscles might loosen or become weak:
Pregnancy and childbirth
Straining while on the toilet
Chronic coughing
Heavy lifting
High impact exercise
Age
Obesity
Luckily, there are lots of exercises and tips that you can use to help strengthen the pelvic floor. Just like strengthening any muscle, all you need is a little training!
During our time together on Wednesday, July 29th, we’ll be exploring things you can do in your own home to work your pelvic muscles. My goal is to educate and empower participants to work toward increased confidence and self-esteem, in addition to better posture.

Do It For Your Health
Often with age comes diminished muscle tone and unwanted weight and inches. While routine exercise is something to practice for fitness, the muscles of the pelvic floor are often forgotten.
Whether or not you’ve experienced the effects of a weakened pelvic floor, you’ll want to start training these muscles no matter what your age! Improving your pelvic health is key to the prevention of incontinence later on in life. In fact, all women over the age of 30 should be protective, training their pelvic floor muscles.
In addition to regularly strengthening your pelvic muscles, you must also be sure that you’re working them correctly! Many people spend too much time exercising only to find out they haven’t even been using the right muscles. Don’t make this mistake. Join me to learn how to properly locate your pelvic floor to ensure your hard work pays off.
