Not everyone with prolapse has a âweakâ pelvic floor đ
We hear a lot about strengthening the pelvic floor⌠but what if part of the issue isnât weakness at all?
Some women with prolapse, leaking, or pelvic floor symptoms are actually holding too much tension.
Think:
â tummy constantly sucked in
â bum clenching
â âholding everything upâ all day
â shallow breathing
â always bracing
Walking creates a natural rhythm through the body:
âď¸ hips rotate
âď¸ ribs move
âď¸ breathing becomes more natural
âď¸ the pelvic floor can move with your breath instead of gripping for dear life
This can sometimes reduce feelings of:
⨠heaviness
⨠pressure
⨠âsomething is thereâ sensations
Which is why some women say (me included)
âI feel better after a walk than after standing around doing school pick-up.â
Do you notice walking helps your symptoms too? đ
P.S. If youâve been told to stop moving or avoid exercise because of prolapse, leaking, or pelvic floor symptoms, Iâm covering pressure management, tension/gripping, and how to move with more confidence in my workshop â¤ď¸
