Standing tells a story that lying down simply can’t. 👏
We LOVE investigating pelvic floor concerns in functional, loaded positions because your symptoms don’t usually happen while you’re lying on a treatment table.
During a standing internal assessment, we may evaluate your pelvic floor while you’re:
✨ Coughing
✨ Squatting
✨ Lunging
✨ Overhead pressing
✨ Lifting
✨ Breathing under load
✨ And performing other real-life movements that actually reproduce your symptoms.
This is where we often uncover the “aha!” moments.
We’ve identified sneaky contributors like:
🔎 Re**al gripping that creates pelvic pressure or obstructed bowel movements
🔎 Pelvic organ prolapse that becomes much more apparent with gravity
🔎 Pelvic floor muscles that don’t automatically contract when pressure demands increase
🔎 Muscles that stay “on” when they should relax—or fail to activate when they should support
🔎 Compensation patterns throughout the hips, core, diaphragm, and spine that aren’t obvious at rest
These findings help us stop guessing and start treating the true driver of your symptoms.
At Pelvic Connections, we believe your evaluation should reflect how you actually live. The more complete the picture, the more individualized your treatment plan and the better your long term outcomes.
Whether you’re experiencing prolapse, leaking, pelvic pain, constipation, pressure, s*xual dysfunction, or performance concerns, people of all genders can benefit from a comprehensive functional pelvic floor assessment.
Because finding the root cause is what we do. 💚
