Monday Move: Strider Bridge 🍑

If you deal with leaking or prolapse symptoms, your pelvis may be doing too much moving while the muscles that should be steadying it are working separately instead of together.

The strider bridge trains your calves, hamstrings, and glutes to load as one team, while your pelvis stays steady underneath you.

Why this matters:
→ Your pelvic floor doesn’t work in isolation. It relies on the muscles behind you to share the load.
→ When the pelvis shifts or tilts under load, pressure management gets harder.
→ Practicing stability while you load is what carries over to running, lifting, and chasing your kids.

How to make it count:
✔️ Keep your hips level. No rocking or twisting side to side.
✔️ Press through the whole foot and feel the back of your legs working.
✔️ Exhale as you lift, and stay smooth and controlled.
✔️ Slow beats big. Quality over height.

Try 2-3 sets of 8-10 per side and notice where you feel it. If it’s mostly your low back, or you can’t feel your glutes, tell me in the comments. That’s useful info, not a fail.

Drop a 👍 in the comments if you felt this one 🥵

Your hips play a VITAL role on how well your pelvic floor lifts and lets go

So today’s Monday Moves = Supported Airplane

Every step, breath, and rotation asks your pelvic floor to ascend and descend (contract and relax, for the anatomy nerds). When your hips can’t rotate well, that job gets harder, because your deep hip rotators and your pelvic floor are next-door neighbors that share fascia.

Now picture the classic airplane. One leg, hinged forward, rotating open. The balance demand goes up, so what do most of us do? Grip. Hold our breath. Clench our glutes to stay upright. Your pelvic floor sits through all of that without ever getting to relax.

So we put a hand on the wall. The wobble stops being the main event, your hip gets to rotate over a stable foot, and your pelvic floor gets to move with it.

How to do it:
→ Stand on one leg, hand on a wall or counter, soft knee
→ Hinge at the hip, then rotate your chest open toward the ceiling
→ 6-8 slow reps each side, breathing the whole time
→ Notice which side rotates less. That’s useful info.

Watch for hip hiking, knee caving, and breath holding. If you catch yourself holding your breath, add more support.

Progress it: fingertips on the wall → no hands → add a reach or a weight.

Save this for your next warm-up and send it to the friend who “just has bad balance.”

Which side felt tighter? Tell me below 👇

If your jaw is tight, your pelvic floor is probably tight too.

Same tension. Different zip code.

TMJ pain and jaw clenching? That’s a whole-body bracing pattern, not just a stress habit.

Upper traps and shoulders that stay tight no matter how many stretches or massages you throw at them? Same pattern, showing up higher.

Breathing that never quite makes it down to your ribs? Same pattern — and it’s shoving the pressure your diaphragm should be handling straight down onto your pelvic floor.

Clenching through your glutes to feel “engaged” instead of actually using it? Same pattern, at the same level.

Your body found one bracing strategy and it’s using it everywhere.

Don’t know if your pelvic floor’s on that list? I broke down 8 signs in my last reel — go watch that first.

Follow so your body stops being the last one to know.

Everyone told you to “just do your Kegels.”

Nobody asked if your pelvic floor even needed to get stronger — or if it needed to learn how to let go.

A tight pelvic floor can look identical to a weak one on paper: leaking, urgency, pain, pressure. Same symptoms, opposite problem, opposite fix.

If you’ve been squeezing and it’s not working, that’s not a compliance problem. That’s a sign you’re solving the wrong equation.

Drop your struggle below and let’s start talking about it. ⬇️

You cut your water in half before your long run because someone told you it would help.

You still leaked.

Then someone else told you it’s your age. Or genetics. Or “you just have a small bladder.” None of it actually explained what was happening in your body.

So swipe through 4 of the most common bladder myths I hear in the clinic — and what’s actually true.

You were never taught this. That’s the actual gap.

Save this for the next person who tells you it’s just part of being a woman. Then send it to her too.

Follow The Pelvic Docs. No Kegels required.

Postpartum can bring a lot of unexpected changes—some subtle, some frustrating, and many that women are told are “just part of it.”

While these symptoms are common, they do not have to become your new normal.

👉 Swipe to see some of the unexpected postpartum symptoms we see all the time in clinic.

The important part? There are real, feasible, and effective solutions to help manage these challenges and get you feeling like yourself again—whether that’s improving bladder control, reducing pressure/heaviness, addressing pain, or just understanding what’s going on in your body.

You don’t have to guess. You don’t have to “wait it out.” And you don’t have to settle either.
We’re working on something that might just change that. 👀

There is NO one-size-fits-all return to sport postpartum 🤍

A calendar date doesn’t determine readiness.
Your recovery depends on your birth, your symptoms, your strength, your goals.

Rehab should be individualized — because your body and your story are. 💪✨

The pelvic floor is ✨ one part of a beautifully connected system✨— not a standalone muscle 🧠✨

When we learn to breathe with 360° expansion (not just belly breathing or lifting into the chest/shoulders), the diaphragm and pelvic floor can actually do their jobs together

💨 Inhale = length
🌬️ Exhale = lift

When breath and movement are coordinated well, **almost any exercise can become pelvic floor supportive**.

Here’s where it gets individualized 👇

Where you breathe during an exercise may look different from someone else — based on your current strengths, restrictions, habits, and symptoms

🔄 Trying one rep inhaling on the effort
🔁 Then switching and exhaling on the effort
🧪 And noticing what feels more supportive (or challenging)

That exploration can give HUGE insight into your body’s needs

And guess what?
👉 Both strategies can be useful

Challenging your body, pelvic floor, and brain to adapt to different breathing patterns builds resilience 🧠💪
More movement options = more confidence, more control, and better carryover to real life.

Because when it comes to movement and pelvic health…
✨More options is always better✨
