We want to grow bigger booty’s, have toned arms and flat belly, but what about the most important muscle of all? 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗶𝗰 𝗳𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗰𝗹𝗲𝘀!⁣

⁣

Your pelvic floor muscles are the group of muscles positioned at the bottom of your pelvis that lift and support the position and function of your pelvic organs (bladder, bowel, uterus), and help with blood flow and circulation in this area. ⁣

⁣

If they are too tight or too loose, or lack circulation, it causes imbalances in the body. ⁣

⁣

Your spine and diaphragm are directly linked to it, which is why certain breathing exercises go hand-in-hand with pelvic floor strengthening. ⁣

⁣

𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗶𝗰 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 (this applies to both men and women, boys you have pelvic muscles too!):⁣

* Urinary urgency or frequency⁣

* Pain with vaginal penetration (gyno exams, tampon insertion, sex) or sexual dysfunction ⁣

* Difficulty starting the flow of urine or having a bowel movement⁣

* Constipation ⁣

* Too many poo’s (aka anxiety poo’s)⁣

* Pelvic heaviness/feeling of your organs falling out (aka pelvic organ prolapse)⁣

* Pelvic pain⁣

* Low back pain⁣

* Trouble fully emptying the bladder/bowels⁣

* Painful menstruation or ovulation⁣

* Hormonal imbalance ⁣

* “Tire” around the lower belly (but remember, this has a lot to do with nutrition as well)⁣

⁣

Pelvic floor exercises are super important for everyone, but for those who are pregnant or postpartum, this will help recovery and strength immensely!⁣
