One of my favorite exercises to prescribe for overall strengthening, control of postural muscles, coordination, etc. is the split squat 👏
Add in an overhead press for even more of a challenge to the deep core.
My cues that I give in the office are:
-push through your big toe, little toe and heel as you come back into standing
-as you bend your knee, let the knee go out towards your second toe
-with overhead press, keep your ribs downnnnnnn to prevent arching the back and losing that core control
Why is this a good exercise for you pelvic floor????
-it's a higher level exercise that moves the pelvis through a range of motion forcing the pelvic floor to lengthen and contract under a load.
AKA: exactly what you need to prevent leaking when coughing/sneezing, pain with in*******se, excessive pressure in the pelvic floor with prolapse.
If you've been wanting more ideas on where to get started with pelvic health and one of you symptoms is pain with intimacy, check out my guide I just dropped through the link in my bio ✨
BONUS--> there's an add on option for a 7-day pelvic floor + gut reset and it's sooo soooo good. It gives you checklist each day to hold you accountable. Check it out!
